Get ready for a thrilling journey into the world of Black Myth: Wukong and its highly anticipated sequel, Black Myth: Zhong Kui! But here's the twist: the developers, Game Science, have dropped a teaser that's leaving everyone scratching their heads.
The Non-Canon Conundrum
Game Science has released a new in-engine trailer, and it's almost seven minutes of pure excitement. However, they've labeled it as 'non-canon,' which means it might not align with the final game's story. This teaser is their way of celebrating Chinese New Year and welcoming the Year of the Horse. But here's where it gets controversial: despite the 'non-canon' disclaimer, this trailer gives us a glimpse into the sequel's potential, especially in terms of its visual and auditory appeal.
A Peek into the Mysterious Trailer
The trailer starts innocuously enough, with a young woman preparing a meal in an outdoor kitchen. But pay closer attention, and you'll notice something eerie. The figure passing by isn't entirely human, and when the shell is opened, it reveals a little grey-faced creature rather than a mollusk. The woman then prepares a piece of meat with blinking eyeballs embedded in it.
There's so much more to uncover, but I won't spoil all the fun. You'll have to watch it yourself! Just remember, this is more of a tech demo than a definitive glimpse into the game's story.
The Black Myth Franchise
Black Myth: Wukong, the predecessor to Zhong Kui, is an action-packed game that broke records. It launched on PC and PlayStation 5 in 2024, selling an astonishing 10 million copies in just three days! The Xbox versions followed in August 2025. IGN's review gave it a solid 8/10, praising its fantastic combat, exciting bosses, and beautiful world.
Black Myth: Zhong Kui was revealed at Opening Night Live 2025 last August. GameScience describes it as a single-player action RPG rooted in ancient Chinese fantasy, set against the backdrop of the classic tale 'Zhong Kui Banishing Evil.' They promise to deliver fresh ideas and address past flaws.
And this is the part most people miss: despite the excitement, we still don't have a release window, let alone a firm date.
