Overview

  • The follow-up to Wukong was revealed with a CG teaser during Gamescom Opening Night Live, with no gameplay shown.
  • An official FAQ describes the project as "little more than an empty folder" and says even Wukong director Yocar has "absolutely no idea" about a release date.
  • Drawing on the Zhong Kui folk legend, the game signals a darker, ghost‑hunting theme distinct from the first entry.
  • Launch plans include PC and "all mainstream console platforms," with specific platforms and timing to be confirmed later.
  • Game Science said Wukong’s "westward journey won’t end here," as the original continues to be cited for blockbuster sales surpassing 25 million copies.
