Overview
- Game Science co‑founder Yang Qi wrote on Weibo that the studio will “no rush” the Black Myth: Zhong Kui sequel and that design and asset‑production stages will be kept far from generative AI.
- Yang used a Christopher Nolan analogy to explain the decision, saying there is no last train to catch and that there is plenty of time for AI later if needed.
- The comments indicate the project remains in late design and asset work and suggest the sequel is likely several years from release rather than nearing launch.
- Since revealing the title at Gamescom 2025, the studio has given only limited public updates, releasing a non‑canon in‑engine Chinese New Year demo as its main recent public content.
- The stance runs against a wider industry trend toward AI asset tools and signals Game Science is prioritizing handcrafted art and deliberate pacing even if that slows development.
