One of the main reasons to temper expectations is that Black Myth: Zhong Kui simply isn’t anywhere close to being released. Hearing that a sequel is being crafted can make it feel like a potential launch is just hovering overhead.

Black Myth: Wukong released to an immensely positive reception back in 2024, entrancing fans with its rich narrative and brutal combat. Following in this game’s footsteps, a new Black Myth game has been revealed – Black Myth: Zhong Kui, another epic tale from Chinese mythology that’ll make an epic gaming adventure.

Set against the backdrop of the classic Chinese folktale "Zhong Kui Banishing Evil", Black Myth: Zhong Kui is a single-player action role-playing game rooted in ancient Chinese fantasy.
