Xbox Series XS Launch Delayed for Black Myth: Wukong

[erickaslmnert]

Official information recently displayed about the highly anticipated soullike action RPG, Black Myth: Wukong, indicates that it will not be available for Xbox Series X | S at launch. Despite previous indications suggesting that developer / publisher Game Science intended to release Black Myth: Wukong on Xbox, it appears that the game will not be accessible on that platform upon its release for PlayStation 5 and PC on August 20.

In Black Myth: Wukong, players assume the role of The Destined One, a character inspired by the legendary Monkey King Sun Wukong from the classic Chinese novel "Journey to the West." This 16th-century literature masterpiece has inspired numerous adaptations across various media, including the iconic Dragon Ball franchise and Netflix's 2023 film "The Monkey King."

Although Black Myth: Wukong was initially confirmed for development on Xbox Series X|S at The Game Awards 2023, a recent trailer showcased at Summer Game Fest omitted the Xbox logo, featuring instead the announcement date, PlayStation 5 logo, and logos of PC software platforms. Additionally, a pre-order FAQ on the game's official announcements page clarifies that while PlayStation 5 and PC players can experience Black Myth: Wukong on its release date of August 20, the Xbox Series X|S version is still undergoing optimization and does not currently meet company standards, necessitating a later release.

While no specific release date has been set for the Xbox version, Game Science has assured that it will announce one when available. Pre-orders for Black Myth: Wukong are presently open on the PlayStation Store, Steam, and Epic Games Store, but not on the Xbox Store. The Summer Game Fest trailer unveiled a range of pre-order bonuses, including a steel game case, wind chime necklace, 1:1 scale "Constricting Headband," and a 40cm figurine of The Destined One. Pricing for the standard edition stands at $59.99, with the Digital Deluxe Edition priced at $69.99, the Physical Deluxe Edition at $169, and the Collector's Edition at $399.
