has teased “some surprises” for later this year.

Accepting the Game of the Year award via video message at the Golden Joysticks, Game Science co-founder Feng Ji encouraged people who have yet to buy the smash hit action game to now do so. He then added the tease:

“Of course, you might have already completed our game. That’s perfectly fine too. Keep following us, and there might just be some surprises waiting for you later this year.”

What are these mystery surprises? Currently speculation points to an announcement either around DLC or an Xbox release.

****** Myth: Wukong launched on August 19 and sold an eye-watering 18 million copies in just two weeks across PC and PS5, reportedly making over $700 million in revenue in the process.

has told IGN.

“We'd prefer not to comment on the deals made by our partners with other platform holders but we can confirm that the delay is not due to Xbox platform limitations that have been raised to us."

The Game Awards, set for December 12, could be the platform Game Science chooses to make its announcements. An Xbox shadow drop during the show would certainly get plenty of attention.
