During Gamescom Opening Night Live, an unexpected announcement was made by Game Science – the unveiling of Black Myth: Zhong Kui. This new title has sparked curiosity among fans, leading many to wonder if it’s a continuation or direct sequel to Black Myth: Wukong.

At Gamescom Opening Night Live, the grand finale unveiled Black Myth: Zhong Kui, captivating viewers as they witnessed this figure from Chinese folklore gracefully seated atop a massive tiger, eliciting amazement from the crowd.

It seems there’s a bit of mix-up since two works carry the Black Myth title, and questions have arisen about the sequel nature of Zhong Kui. However, rest assured, we’re here to provide clarity on the matter for you.

Is Black Myth: Zhong Kui a Black Myth: Wukong Sequel?

No, Black Myth: Zhong Kui is not a sequel to Black Myth: Wukong, Game Science has confirmed.

On the official site, various queries regarding the progress of Black Myth: Zhong Kui were addressed, such as the reasoning behind launching a fresh game instead of releasing a sequel to Black Myth: Wukong initially.

In simpler terms, Zhong Kui isn’t a continuation of the story of Wukong, but rather tells a different tale from Chinese mythology. However, there may be elements or nods in the game that are reminiscent of Wukong.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but notice the striking resemblances between the upcoming games. Particularly, Black Myth: Zhong Kui and its roots in ancient Chinese mythology and folklore resonate deeply with me, much like previous titles. Yet, it’s essential to remember that, just as before, it will be a traditional single-player Action Role-Playing Game (ARPG). The business model remains consistent with past releases.

Despite being in an initial developmental phase, specifics about the game titled Black Myth: Zhong Kui remain scarce, and we might need to wait a bit longer for more comprehensive disclosures.

Will Black Myth: Wukong Receive a Sequel?

While Game Science hasn’t definitively stated if Black Myth: Wukong will get a sequel or further DLC, there seems to be a possibility for more content in the future.

At the conclusion of the question about why Black Myth: Zhong Kui was selected for production on the site, players were given the assurance that “this westward journey isn’t over yet.

Although specifics aren’t available at the moment, keep an eye out for updates from Game Science regarding their upcoming Xbox release. Stay tuned for more information!
