LogInPrepare to learn more about Chinese folklore in Black Myth: Zhong Kui, coming to PC and all major console platforms.
During gamescom 2025's Opening Night Live, Black Myth: Wukong developer Game Science officially announced Black Myth: Zhong Kui, an upcoming single-player action RPG and the second installment in the Black Myth series.
Currently in early development – with the devs describing the title as "little more than an empty folder at this stage" – Zhong Kui shares the same foundation of Chinese folklore as Wukong and, as evident from the name, will center around Zhong Kui, a Taoist deity in Chinese mythology traditionally regarded as a vanquisher of ghosts and evil beings.
"Upon completing the journey with the Destined One, we now aspire to take a tentative first step – to build more distinct game experiences, to challenge ourselves with bolder features, and to bring fresh ideas to our world and narrative design," comments Game Science. "Zhong Kui 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 our past flaws and regrets. And to all friends who love Black Myth: Wukong: the westward journey won't end here."
At the moment, the team is, in their own words, "not even done with the outline yet," and as such cannot provide even an approximate release date. That said, the devs did confirm that Black Myth: Zhong Kui is coming to PC and "all mainstream console platforms," presumably irrespective of what would constitute "mainstream" at the time of the game's launch.
