[Wesley Yin-Poole]

Black Myth: Wukong developer Game Science has revealed a sequel, Black Myth: Zhong Kui, at Opening Night Live 2025.

On-stage at gamescom, host Geoff Keighley described Zhong Kui as "the ghost-catching god who wanders between hell and earth." While Zhong Kui is in early development, Keighley insisted Black Myth: Wukong won't end here, suggesting DLC is still on the way.

The teaser trailer is below:


Here's the official blurb from Game Science:

New Black Myth title — officially unveiled today!

No ghosts walked the earth till born of human heart;

Onstage and off, immortals fall to fiends—their perfected art.

Indoors and out, the judge is bound by the same household ties;

The sun is veiled, the moon unmoved — who decrees who lives and who dies?

I turn from worldly tangles and their codes, from glories smeared with sleight.

I raise my sword — I raise it to fight;

With it, I shall judge wrong and right!

Developed by Game Science, "Black Myth: Zhong Kui" — the second entry in the Black Myth series — was officially unveiled today with its first CG teaser trailer, and simultaneously debuted during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025.

This single-player action role-playing game draws its primary creative inspiration from the famed Chinese folk figure "Zhong Kui." As the project is still in early development, no in-game footage is available at this time.

Black Myth: Wukong is the record-breaking action game that launched across PC and PlayStation 5 last year. The Xbox Series X and S version launches August 20, 2025.
