Black Myth: Zhong Kui
"Set against the backdrop of the classic Chinese folktale 'Zhong Kui Banishing Evil,' Black Myth: Zhong Kui is a single-player action role-playing game steeped in ancient Chinese fantasy," GameScience stated. "The game will provide unique experiences and gameplay features that challenge our limits while introducing fresh ideas and necessary changes to address past flaws and regrets."
Black Myth: Zhong Kui is currently in early development. Currently, there is no official release date available. We will need to wait for further information. Don't worry, we will keep you updated on that! While you wait, check out the reveal trailer shown at Gamescom 2025.
The game will remain a single-player ARPG, following the same base as Black Myth: Wukong. Remember, you're not going to play with the monkey. This means you can expect something different this time. It will be available on PC and "all mainstream console platforms," but we will have more information before the game's release.
In the Black Myth: Zhong Kui official page, the developers explained Zhong Kui came as a "natural choice born of that aspiration [to bring fresh ideas to our world and narrative design] and other contributing factors." They added that they believe they can "make refreshing changes, create new things, while taking a hard look at past flaws and regrets."
If you follow the game's socials, be aware that all platforms will change from "Black Myth: Wukong" to "Black Myth."
