After achieving breakout success with Black Myth: Wukong in 2024, developer Game Science is returning with a sequel, Black Myth: Zhong Kui. It’s another single-player RPG, and you can watch the teaser below.
“This single-player action role-playing game draws its primary creative inspiration from the famed Chinese folk figure Zhong Kui,” reads a line from the game’s description.
The game is still in “early development,” so there is no in-game footage available just yet. But you can take a look at the cinematic trailer below. There is no word yet on platforms or a release date.
The original Black Myth came to PS5 and PC in August 2024 and lands on Xbox tomorrow, August 20. The game has already sold more than 25 million copies and an expansion is now in the works.
Black Myth has been controversial in some circles. Game Science’s guidelines for content creators asked them to avoid discussing “feminist propaganda” and COVID. A report from IGN in 2023 documented the alleged sexist and misogynist commentary from the development team.
