Fans of Black Myth: Wukong got some exciting news at Gamescom 2025. Game Science, the studio behind the highly acclaimed action RPG, confirmed that the journey of Wukong is far from over. The announcement came alongside a surprise reveal of a brand-new title, Black Myth: Zhong Kui, which will explore a different character from Chinese folklore.

During the Gamescom Opening Night Live event, the studio showed a cinematic trailer for Zhong Kui, introducing players to the legendary ghost-catching deity. While the trailer was purely cinematic and gameplay details remain scarce, the announcement signaled that Game Science is expanding the Black Myth universe.

Despite the new focus, the studio was careful to reassure fans that Wukong’s story “won’t end here.” Whether this means future expansions, sequels, or entirely new adventures remains unclear, but it’s evident that the character’s saga will continue.

Black Myth: Zhong Kui is still in very early development. Game Science described it as “little more than an empty folder” at this stage. However, they confirmed that it will release on PC and major consoles, though no timeframe was provided.

For fans of Black Myth: Wukong, the takeaway is clear: Wukong’s adventures are far from complete. Game Science is intent on exploring new stories while keeping the spirit of the original game alive. As the studio continues development on Zhong Kui and teases future Wukong content, players can look forward to more of the fast-paced, intricately designed combat and world-building that made the first game a standout.

In short, the westward journey is not over, and the next chapter in the Black Myth universe promises to be just as intriguing.
