Overview

  • Revealed with a cinematic teaser at Opening Night Live, the game introduces Zhong Kui, a ghost-hunting figure from Chinese folklore.
  • It remains a single-player action RPG rooted in ancient myth, with design differences from Wukong still being explored.
  • Development is at a very early stage with no release window, and the studio says it has “absolutely no idea” when it will launch.
  • The team lists PC and “all mainstream console platforms” as targets, with specific platforms to be confirmed closer to release.
  • Game Science is renaming official accounts to “Black Myth” for future series updates, following Wukong’s success with more than 25 million copies sold.
