Wukong Sequel Rumored for 2027 — What the Game Science Leaks Say

A trio of internal documents and a fresh recruiting blitz at Game Science have made a 2027 Wukong sequel one of PC gaming’s worst-kept secrets.

Most concrete data point: Game Science’s Hangzhou office posted 40 new senior-level engine and design openings in March, the largest hiring push since the original launch. Job descriptions reference an ‘open-world action title’ with ‘next-generation traversal’ — language that mirrors the 2024 Black Myth Wukong dev diaries.

Less concrete but consistent: a leaked internal sizzle reel showed an environment that did not match any region from the first game, and a rendering pipeline that appears to be Unreal 5.5 rather than the 5.0 build the original shipped on. Reel was pulled within hours but enough screenshots circulated to confirm the scope.
