One Black Myth: Wukong player has achieved a major milestone by reaching the game’s maximum level and completing almost 100% of its challenging content. For a game known for its intense difficulty, this accomplishment is nothing short of extraordinary.

Black Myth: Wukong: A Global Sensation

Since its August 2024 release, Black Myth: Wukong has become a worldwide hit, selling over 20 million units within just a few weeks. Developed by Game Science, a Chinese studio with little experience in AAA game development, Black Myth: Wukong’s meteoric success has surprised many in the industry. While about 70% of sales occurred in China, the game has also captivated a large global audience, largely due to the hype generated by its stunning pre-release trailers.

Inspired by the Chinese classic Journey to the West, Black Myth: Wukong delivers a visually impressive and demanding gameplay experience. Given these factors, the recent feat of a player reaching level 342 and completing nearly every challenge is drawing attention across the gaming community.

Player Hits Level 342 in Black Myth: Wukong

The dedicated player, known as Pyr0pigGy1, shared screenshots of their max-level character, sporting the powerful Bull King set and maxed-out defense stats. According to their account, reaching level 342 required approximately 90 hours spread across three playthroughs. Initially, Pyr0pigGy1 didn’t expect much from the game but quickly became enamored with its engaging story and challenging gameplay, which motivated them to complete all of the game’s bosses and optional content.

This level of commitment is impressive, especially considering the depth and difficulty of Black Myth: Wukong’s gameplay. Despite hitting the max level, Pyr0pigGy1 missed out on two Steam achievements, narrowly falling short of total achievement completion.

Steam Achievement Missed: A Near-Perfect Run

While Pyr0pigGy1 has completed nearly everything the game has to offer, they have only unlocked 79 out of 81 Steam achievements. The elusive achievements are tied to a missable curio in the Pagoda Realm, where players must defeat all lantern heads before confronting the boss. Missing this curio prevented Pyr0pigGy1 from earning the “A Curious Collection” achievement, which also blocks the “Final Fulfillment” achievement, only granted when all other achievements are obtained.

What’s Next for Black Myth: Wukong? Rumors of DLC

For fans of Black Myth: Wukong, there is good news on the horizon. Rumors suggest that Game Science is already hard at work developing two DLCs for the game. According to speculation, one DLC could be released around the Chinese New Year in January 2025, offering players new content to explore and challenges to conquer. Although details about the DLC’s story or features have not been confirmed, the news is enough to spark excitement in the Black Myth community.

Final Thoughts

The achievement of reaching level 342 and completing nearly all of Black Myth: Wukong is a testament to the dedication and skill of players like Pyr0pigGy1. The combination of stunning visuals, immersive storytelling, and challenging gameplay has made Black Myth: Wukong one of the standout titles of 2024. With rumors of upcoming DLCs, the game’s journey is far from over, and fans eagerly await what new adventures Game Science has in store.

As Black Myth: Wukong continues to captivate players, it will be exciting to see whether others can match or surpass this remarkable achievement—or if the new content will push even the most experienced players to their limits.
