GameScience, the Chinese developer and publisher behind Black Myth: Wukong, today announced that its acclaimed ARPG will receive its first-ever discount across all platforms starting 00:00 CST (UTC+8) on June 18, 2025.

Full details on editions and purchasing options will be posted on the official website of Black Myth: Wukong when the promotion goes live.

Black Myth: Wukong was released on August 20, 2024 and received its first free DLC on December, adding an all-new combat challenge. According to official figures, the game sold 10 million copies across all platforms within its first three days. It also set the record for the highest concurrent-player peak ever achieved by a single-player title on Steam according to SteamDB.
