Black Myth：Zhong Kui

PC + all mainstream console platforms. Final information will be confirmed prior to release.

Well, to be honest—even Yocar himself has absolutely no idea. Please stay tuned for updates via our official website (gamesci.cn/zhongkui) and our official accounts on YouTube, X, Facebook and other platforms. Just a warm reminder: starting today, our username across all platforms will change from "Black Myth: Wukong" to "Black Myth". All future official news relevant to Black Myth titles will be posted via the "Black Myth" accounts—one-time subscription, no further action needed.

Judging by the name, "Black Myth: Zhong Kui" shares the same foundation of ancient Chinese myth and folklore. In terms of genre, it will remain a standard single-player ARPG, following the same business model as before. However—you won't be playing a monkey role this time. That said, we're still exploring and experimenting with the concrete differences between Wukong and Zhong Kui. So take it easy—let us impress ourselves first before we serve it to you.

Thanks to the unwavering support from our players, the first Black Myth title has landed safely. Upon completing the journey with the Destined One, we now aspire to take a tentative first step—to build more distinct game experiences, to challenge ourselves with bolder features, and to bring fresh ideas to our world and narrative design. Zhong Kui came as a natural choice born of that aspiration and other contributing factors. We are confident that, in this new project, we can make refreshing changes, create new things, while taking a hard look at our past flaws and regrets. And to all friends who love "Black Myth: Wukong": the westward journey won't end here.

Because it is our tradition to report our progress to players on every August 20—and this year is no exception. However, with the project being little more than an empty folder at this stage, there's hardly any game footage we could share. To keep all hands focused on development, we decided to deliver a CG short to let everyone know that a new project has kicked off.
