For all friends who love Black Myth: Wukong: the journey to the West will not end here.

Game Science has confirmed that Zhong Kui will be a single-player action RPG and follow the same buisness model as Wukong. Zhong Kui is in early development and has no release date yet. The trailer below is based on an in-progress build of the game running at a 21:9 aspect ratio. Game Science warns that the final game may look different to this trailer.

Today, Game Science unveils a brand-new 15-minute gameplay trailer for Black Myth: Zhong Kui, the second title in the Black Myth series. The trailer offers a first look at the protagonist in combat, along with a glimpse of the story.

With newer versions of Unreal Engine 5, it should be relatively easy for Game Science to make Zhong Kui look and run better than its predecessor. More advanced Lumen, hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and new optimisations should deliver enhanced visuals and performance on PC and consoles. It is currently unknown if Zhong Kui targets current-generation consoles or next-generation systems.
