We haven’t even had Wukong on Xbox yet!
Surprise! There’s a new game in the Black Myth series in development and it’s officially called Black Myth: Zhong Kui. The title was revealed as part of the surprise segment at the end of Gamescom Opening Night Live earlier today.
Game Science isn’t saying much about this one so far, although an official FAQ reveals a few more details:
“Thanks to the unwavering support from our players, the first Black Myth title has landed safely. Upon completing our 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 Jui came as a natural choice born of that aspiration and other contributing factors.”
“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.”
Of course, we’re still waiting for the release of Black Myth: Wukong on Xbox later this week, and we’re hoping Black Myth: Zhong Kui won’t suffer another year-long delay on Xbox alone – although it seems that won’t be the case. The FAQ specifically mentions that it’ll launch on “all mainstream console platforms”, so we’ll keep our fingers crossed!
Just be aware that this one is very early in development, so we’re likely looking at it being multiple years away. They’ve even mentioned how the project is “barely more than an empty folder” right now.
Looking forward to this one? Let us know down in the comments section below.
