One of the main reasons to temper expectations is that Black Myth: Zhong Kui simply isn’t anywhere close to being released. Hearing that a sequel is being crafted can make it feel like a potential launch is just hovering overhead.

On the China side of things, there is Hong Kong actor, Bobby Au-Yeung, who starred as Zhong Kui in 2010’s Ghost Catcher – Legend of Beauty ( 天师钟馗) and 2012’s The Legend of Zhong Kui ( 钟馗传说 ), which is available on YouTube.

During Gamescom Opening Night Live, the company revealed a teaser trailer for Black Myth: Zhong Kui, the next mainline entry in the Black Myth series. Despite bearing the Black Myth moniker, this game will not be a direct sequel to Black Myth: Wukong.
