Xbox players are still waiting patiently forBlack Myth: WukongbutMicrosoft’s CEO of Gaming Phil Spencer hints that he knows its release date. WhenBlack Mythwas released in August, it proved to be an instantaneous hit, quickly becoming Steam’s most-playing single-player game, and selling millions of units across both PC and PlayStation 5. The Xbox community was unfortunately left out of the hype cycle but it sounds like the wait for Game Science’s cinematic action RPG could be coming to an end soon.
Speaking toGame File, Spencer was asked if he knows whetherBlack Myth: Wukongwill ever be released on Xbox to which he simply responded. “I know.” When pressed for further details, including a potential release window,the executive kept quiet, concluding the line of questioning by saying that he “can’t say it"before laughing. While that may not be the kind of precise update Xbox players are looking for, it’s still reassuring to hear Spencer seemingly confirm thatBlack Myth: Wukongwill eventually come to Xbox after such a prolonged delay.

There’s Already Speculation Running Rampant
One of the common theories regardingBlack Myth: Wukong’s Xbox release is thatthe game will be shadow-launched to coincide with the upcoming Game Awards. The showcase is peppered with major announcements and Xbox has already set a precedent for both revealing and releasing ports of some of the year’s biggest games during the ceremony.
