While many of us expected Game Science to reveal its upcoming story DLC for Black Myth: Wukong at Opening Night Live, it instead unveiled Black Myth: Zhong Kui, a new title in the series. It’s in “early development” with no in-game footage currently available, but you can check out the CG announcement trailer below.
The bearded individual riding the tiger is the titular Zhong Kui, a Taoist figure known for destroying ghosts, and who can command 80,000 demons. He would become a popular figure throughout Chinese culture, with his picture used as a ward against ghosts. What journey he’ll embark on remains to be seen, but ONL host Geoff Keighley assured that it would be another single-player adventure.
Interestingly, he also teased that Black Myth: Wukong’s Journey of the West-focused adventures weren’t over by a long shot. It could mean a possible DLC reveal at The Game Awards in December, but we’ll need to wait for more details.
In the meantime, Black Myth: Wukong launches on August 20th for Xbox Series X/S. It’s currently available for PS5 and PC.
