New Black Myth Game, Zhong Kui, Announced With Teaser Trailer

Here is a 196-word summary of the news article: Game Science, the developer behind the hit action RPG Black Myth: Wukong, has announced a sequel titled Black Myth: Zhong Kui. The new game, still in early development, will be a single-player action RPG inspired by the Chinese folk figure Zhong Kui. A cinematic teaser trailer was unveiled at Gamescom, but no in-game footage is available yet. While the outline for the game is still being finalized, the studio has confirmed that players will not be playing as a monkey character this time, in contrast to the protagonist of the first Black Myth game. The developers are exploring the differences between the characters of Wukong and Zhong Kui. The original Black Myth: Wukong, released in 2024, has been a major success, selling over 25 million copies and receiving strong reviews, including an 8/10 from GameSpot. However, the game has also faced some controversy, with reports of sexist and misogynistic commentary from the development team. Black Myth: Zhong Kui is set to launch on PC and all mainstream console platforms, but a release date has not yet been announced.
