Overview

• Announced as the second entry in the franchise during Opening Night Live, Black Myth: Zhong Kui centers on the Taoist ghost-slayer and remains a single-player action RPG.
• Game Science says the project is in a nascent state—“little more than an empty folder”—with no gameplay shown and no release window.
• The studio lists PC and “all mainstream console platforms” as targets for launch, matching the series’ cross-platform ambitions.
• Positioned as a distinct entry rather than a direct Wukong sequel, the team says it aims to deliver fresh ideas and address past flaws, with Geoff Keighley noting the “westward journey” will continue.
• The CG teaser quickly drew large engagement in China, including more than 9 million views on Bilibili and trending status on Weibo.
