\n\tA sequel to Game Science\u2019s hit 2024 video game \u201cBlack Myth: Wukong<\/a>,\u201d titled \u201cBlack Myth: Zhong Kui,\u201d was revealed during the Opening Night Live presentation at Gamescom 2025 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\n\tPer a post shared on X by China-based developer and publisher Game Science<\/a>, \u201cThis single-player action role-playing game draws its primary creative inspiration from the famed Chinese folk figure \u2018Zhong Kui.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA cinematic teaser of the game was shared during Gamescom, but, \u201cas the project is still in early development, no in-game footage is available at this time,\u201d Game Science noted.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn an FAQ section on its website, Game Science addressed why it has chosen to make a \u201cBlack Myth\u201d game based on a new myth, rather than a direct sequel to \u201cWukong,\u201d writing: \u201cThanks to the unwavering support from our players, the first \u2018Black Myth\u2019 title has landed safely. Upon completing the journey with the Destined One, we now aspire to take a tentative first step \u2014 to build more distinct game experiences, to challenge ourselves with bolder features, and to bring fresh ideas to our world and narrative design. \u2018Zhong Kui\u2019 came as a natural choice born of that aspiration and other contributing factors. We are confident that, in this new project, we can make refreshing changes, create new things, while taking a hard look at past flaws and regrets. And to all friends who love \u2018Black Myth: Wukong,\u2019 the westward journey won\u2019t end here.\u201d<\/p>\n
