Game Science Reveals Black Myth: Zhong Kui With CG Teaser at Gamescom

Development remains at a nascent stage with neither a release window nor gameplay footage.

Overview

  • The announcement closed Gamescom Opening Night Live with a cinematic showing the mythic ghost-slayer riding a tiger as demonic figures followed.
  • Game Science describes the project as "little more than an empty folder" and says even director Yocar has "absolutely no idea" when it will be ready.
  • The title is a single-player action RPG planned for PC and all mainstream console platforms, according to the studio’s FAQ.
  • The team frames Zhong Kui as a distinct entry intended to evolve the series and address past flaws, while signaling that Wukong’s "westward journey" is not over.
  • Early coverage characterizes the imagery as darker and more horror-leaning, and the teaser has drawn strong interest in China with over nine million Bilibili views, per Reuters.
