After selling millions and millions of copies (25 million or so, to be exact) it’s little wonder that developer Game Science has announced a sequel to Black Myth: Wukong.
Like the first game, this will be a singleplayer RPG with an emphasis on boss battles, but this time it follows Zhong Kui, a ghost catching God that wanders between Heaven and Hell.
“Thanks to the unwavering support from our players, the first Black Myth title has landed safely. Upon completing the 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,” says Game Science.
“Zhong Kui came as a natural choice born of that aspiration and other contributing factors. We are confident that, in this new project, we can make refreshing changes, create new things, while taking a hard look at our past flaws and regrets.”
The official website gives the vibe that the game is a long way off of being released, so don’t get your hopes up. Not even a vague release window was discussed, but the game is expected to launch on PC and “all mainline consoles.”
