Game Science Debuts Non-Canon Black Myth: Zhong Kui In-Engine Video for Lunar New Year

The festive clip is a non-canon tech showcase rather than a gameplay reveal.

Overview

  • The developer released a six-minute Year of the Horse video built in-engine that focuses on a surreal monster-cooking sequence instead of combat.
  • Game Science states the footage is non-canon, unrelated to the main storyline, and intended purely for entertainment.
  • Black Myth: Zhong Kui is a single-player action RPG based on Chinese folklore that is in development for PC and consoles with no release window announced.
  • Official materials say it is not a direct sequel to Wukong, as the studio aims to build a distinct experience and has started the project from scratch after shelving a Wukong expansion.
  • Sony’s upload of the clip under a PS5 label suggests a PlayStation version, though the studio’s only formal guidance is “PC and all mainstream console platforms” without specific confirmation.
