Game Science have put out a fresh trailer showing off Black Myth: Zhong Kui, their follow-up to Chinese mythology-stuffed action-RPG Black Myth: Wukong , in action.

  • A year on from its reveal at 2025's Gamescom , Zhong Kui's looking as slicey and rolly as its predecessor, despite a switch in protagonist.
  • The latter might explain the mention of the Underworld in that poem.
  • As of right now, Black Myth: Zhong Kui remains without a release date or confirmation of launch platforms, though its predecessor Wukong hit PC right out of the gate.
