Black Myth: Wukong studio Game Science has revealed it’s working on the next game in the series.
Black Myth: Zhong Kui will be an all-new follow-up, focused on the titular ghost-catching god who wanders between hell and earth. Like Wukong, it will be another single-player action-RPG rooted in Chinese folklore.
A brief teaser trailer was shown at Gamescom Opening Night Live, showing a couple of men hiding from a parade of mythical characters, including Zhong Kui himself riding a giant tiger.
So why not release a Wukong sequel? Game Science explained over on the new game’s website.
“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,” reads a Q&A.
