Microsoft speaks out about delay of Black Myth Wukong release on Xbox Series

Many agree that Black Myth Wukong became the winner of Summer Game Fest 2024 not only because Science game role play this is the name most anticipated on Steam, but because the title claims to be one of this year’s surprises. This was announced over 4 years ago and many players received some bad news a few days ago. It turns out that the Xbox Series X|S version of Black Myth Wukong has been delayed, so it will debut in a few months on Microsoft’s console.

However, in the last few hours, Windows Central’s Jez Corden mentioned that he had heard “rumors” at Xbox Showcase 2024 that PlayStation signed some kind of exclusivity agreement with Game Science to create Black Myth Wukong console exclusive for PS5. The journalist asked the Chinese developer and Microsoft about this, and only Redmond responded with a statement that fuels the theories and does not resolve any doubts about the real reason for the delay of Black Myth Wukong on the Xbox Series X|S.
