Frequently Asked Questions
Why announce Black Myth: Zhong Kui now?
Of course, it's because Game Science reports the latest work progress to everyone on August 20th every year. Considering that the folder was just created not long ago, there's no real gameplay footage yet. To maintain normal development rhythm, we chose to make a CG short film first to inform everyone that this new project has officially entered development status.
Why Zhong Kui first? Isn't it a sequel to Black Myth: Wukong?
With everyone's continued support, the first Black Myth work has safely landed. After the Destined One's story comes to an end, we are eager to try some different gaming experiences next, tinker with more challenging game features, and create fresh elements in worldview and narrative. Zhong Kui is a natural choice under such mood and various other factors - in this new game, we are confident in making refreshing changes and innovations, and will deeply reflect on past shortcomings and regrets. For all friends who love Black Myth: Wukong, we want to say: Journey to the West will not end here.
As the second work in the Black Myth series, what similarities and differences will Black Myth: Zhong Kui have with Black Myth: Wukong?
First, as the name suggests, Black Myth: Zhong Kui still draws from Chinese ancient mythology and folklore. Second, it remains a standard single-player action role-playing game with the same business model as its predecessor. Finally, you probably won't be playing as a monkey this time. Well, regarding the specific differences between the two products, we are still exploring and experimenting. Please hold onto your instant noodles. Let us first make the quality good enough to move ourselves before bringing it out for everyone to enjoy.
When will Black Myth: Zhong Kui be released?
This question... even Yuka has no idea right now. Please keep a close eye on our official website (gamesci.cn/zhongkui) and official accounts on Bilibili, Douyin, Weibo, Xiaohongshu and other social media platforms.
Which platforms will Black Myth: Zhong Kui be available on?
PC + mainstream console platforms. Official information is subject to pre-release notifications.
Can you reveal more about the plot and gameplay of Black Myth: Zhong Kui?
Hard to say, it seems the outline hasn't been finished yet! The development team colleagues are enthusiastic and eager to try. They want to tell new stories, create new fun, and make all players who love Black Monkey familiar yet surprised (barely hehe.gif)
