Wow, okay, so here we go. Let’s dive into this convoluted tale about “Black Myth: Wukong” and its, uh, peculiar journey to Xbox Series X|S. Trust me, it’s as wild as it sounds. Like, it’s been a full year since it first graced the screens of PC and PlayStation 5, and now, suddenly, Xbox folks get a shot on August 20, 2025. Coincidence? Hmm, doesn’t sit right with me.
I mean, really — Microsoft and those developers had this back-and-forth spat full of carefully chosen words. But honestly, the whole thing looked like a drawn-out dance with two left feet. So, somewhere around last June, Microsoft dropped a nugget of news (or was it a bombshell? hard to say): “Excited for the launch blah blah blah, great games, blah Xbox best platform.” You get the gist. Yet, there they were, tight-lipped about any behind-the-scenes tea-spilling.
Okay, picture this: months trickle by — Game Science (the developers) had initially said they were all in on making an Xbox version. Then outta nowhere, Feng Ji, the game director, goes all cryptic, saying it’d take “years” to wrangle it for Series S. I mean, what?! Something didn’t fit, like when you’ve got that extra puzzle piece that just mocks you.
But wait — Phil Spencer throws in another curveball in January. He knows if “Wukong” is sidling over to Xbox but plays mysteriously coy. And—as if on cue—Forbes and IGN piped up with whispers of a Sony deal. You can almost hear Xbox fans groaning. Seriously, it’s meme-worthy.
Fast forward, and bam, Xbox is launching the game precisely a year after PlayStation. Super convincing, huh?
Oh, and I must rant about this too: Xbox’s brill move to drop the reveal at 9:00 PM CST on a humdrum Thursday before Summer Games Fest. Like, was this some cosmic alignment or just Xbox’s quirky timing?
Anyway, the real question lingers: sneaky deal or genuinely slow on the uptake with the Series S? Toss your thoughts into the void here or scream them into the endless pit of social media. Curious minds (mine, mostly) want to know what in the actual world everyone else makes of this.
