Black Myth: Wukong Will Release on Nintendo Switch 2, It’s Claimed

Ahead of the Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase on February 5, a reliable leaker has shared news about a potential massive 2024 title coming to the Nintendo Switch 2.

Nate the Hate claimed on his podcast discussing the forthcoming Direct that he has heard Black Myth: Wukong will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. He could not confirm whether the game would be showcased in the February Nintendo Direct, but he remains confident it will arrive on Nintendo’s latest home console.

The game sold tens of millions of copies early in its lifecycle and was named best action game at the 2024 Game Awards.

The Future of the Black Myth Franchise

No downloadable content has ever dropped for the popular Journey to the West-inspired title. However, a reveal trailer for Black Myth: Zhong Kui was shown at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025.

That game is not expected to be a direct sequel to Wukong, but Game Science has indicated that more could follow from that specific story in the future. Still, it remains unclear if Black Myth: Wukong’s story will continue through a direct sequel in a new title or via DLC for the original game. Learn more about that here.

Insider Gaming will have full coverage of the Nintendo Direct on February 5.
