Budget-conscious. Black Myth: Wukong budget announced

Not as much money was spent on one of the main releases of the year as it might seem.

At the Global Digital Trade Expo, one of the employees of the Game Science company said that the expenses on Black Myth: Wukong amounted to a little more than 300 million yuan or $42.3 million. Taking into account the deduction of taxes of 28 million yuan or $3.96 million, the company spent less than 40 million million on the project.

It is curious that a month earlier, investor Daniel Wu from Hero Games said that $70 million was spent on Wukong. The media believes that the remaining $30 million was spent on marketing.

The budget given is not that big by modern standards. Thus, the GameWorldObserver publication compared Wukong with other famous titles. For example, Alan Wake 2 cost the creators 70 million dollars without marketing, and the production of The Last of Us Part 2 took as much as 220 million.
