Game Science Debuts Non-Canon ‘Black Myth: Zhong Kui’ In-Engine Teaser for Chinese New Year

The clip previews art direction as the studio begins the project from scratch with Wukong support continuing.

Overview

  • Game Science released six minutes of in-engine footage as a Year of the Horse special that it labels non-canon.
  • The video focuses on tone and visual style without showing combat or gameplay.
  • Game Science frames Zhong Kui as a separate single-player ARPG for PC and consoles, rooted in Chinese folklore rather than a direct sequel to Wukong.
  • Developers say the project is starting from scratch and the outline is not yet finished, signaling early development and uncertain timing.
  • Support for Black Myth: Wukong continues, with a game update reported last month.
