On the game's Steam page, players found a sign indicating that Black Myth: Wukong will feature Denuvo protection. Almost all modern AAA projects add additional DRM protection Denuvo Anti-Tamper to their games, especially the popular ones: Dragon's Dogma 2, Persona 3 Reload, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and others. The protection, firstly, does not make it possible to use the pirated version, and secondly, it complicates the use of joint accounts with offline activation, since the title runs only on 5 devices per day. Denuvo also significantly degrades game performance.
Due to the high price and difficulties in replenishing a Steam account, many users are eagerly waiting to hack Black Myth Wukong and allow them to play for free.
When will Black Myth: Wukong be hacked?
When answering the question of when the Black Myth Wukong hack will appear on the Internet, it is worth paying attention to the general state of the pirate industry. All major releases become desirable prey for hackers, which is why various teams are interested in removing Denuvo.
Previously, many hacks of major releases were carried out by EMPRESS, but there has been no news from her about work on other releases since September 2023, but recently activity has begun in her Telegram channel. For a year, there hasn’t been a single game from the hacker, but now users really hope that newcomers, especially the hacker with the nickname RUNE, will be able to occupy this niche and hacking large projects will resume again.
Below is a table that shows the largest projects that had DRM protection, their current hacking status, and the nickname of the hacker who took down Denuvo. The last column will help you estimate how many days later the protection will be removed from the Wukong.

Looking at the statistics on AAA releases, it becomes clear that hacking should not be expected in the near future. The latest hacked release was Dead Island 2, which took 86 days to leak. Denuvo was later removed from PayDay 3, but this was done by the developers themselves.
To sum up, we can say that there is no reason to count on hacking, since EMPRESS has probably retired, and new hackers are still just gaining experience. There is a possibility that the developers will remove the protection themselves, but the chances are extremely low.
On April 27, 2026, Black Myth Wukong was hacked by a hacker named voices38.
