Black Myth: Wukong reportedly cost around $43 million to make – and this $60 action RPG has now sold over 20 million copies across PC and PS5

Black Myth: Wukong.

Black Myth: Wukong reportedly cost developer Game Science around $43 million to make, but it more than made that money back in just weeks, boasting over 20 million sales at $60 a pop.

According to a new report from the Zhejiang State Taxation Administration in China, the smash-hit action RPG had an overall estimated budget of "more than 300 million Yuan," per machine translation. That amounts to about $42.3 million USD by current conversions, which is quite a bit lower than the $70 million budget previously reported by Bloomberg.
