About time Xbox players get to experience Wukong’s journey—hopefully the extra dev time means they’ve nailed the optimization. The game’s already proven itself, so this just feels like icing on the cake. (Keeps it fresh by acknowledging the delay without repeating better late than never, and focuses on the game’s established success rather than sales numbers.)
