Game Science Studio isn't resting on its laurels after the success of Black
Myth: Wukong. The developer teased a follow-up project as the closer to
Gamescom's Opening Night Live showcase with a brief but beautifully detailed
glimpse at Black Myth: Zhong Kui.

There's no date attached to the cinematic teaser, and that's because the game
is still very much a work in progress. According to the FAQ entry about a
possible release window, the team says "Well, to be honestΓÇöeven Yocar
himself has absolutely no idea" when it'll be ready. But the same page does
confirm that the plan is for Zhong Kui to launch on both PC and "all
mainstream console platforms" whenever it is done.

From the title and the previous Black Myth game, this new project will once
again be drawing inspiration from Chinese mythology. Legends around Zhong Kui
dub him a conqueror of ghosts and evil spirits, so perhaps there will be some
supernatural vibes in this entry to the emerging game series. Pretty much the
only other thing we know besides the name and character is that Black Myth:
Zhong Kui will once again be a single-player ARPG and it will be "following
the same business model as before."
