New Black Myth: Zhong Kui Trailer Delivers 15 Solid Mins. of Gameplay for the Upcoming Wukong Sequel

Game Science showed combat, a boss fight and a summoned companion in the sequel’s first 15-minute gameplay look, while saying the build is still experimental.

  • Game Science released a 15-minute gameplay trailer for Black Myth: Zhong Kui, offering a first look at combat and the Chinese mythological deity protagonist.
  • The studio unveiled Zhong Kui almost precisely a year ago during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025, though it remains unclear why the team did not wait until Gamescom next week.
  • Unlike Wukong, which focused heavily on boss fights, the footage highlights a larger focus on non-boss enemies with detailed weapon entanglement resembling the Chinese title Phantom Blade Zero.
  • Game Science stressed the footage remains work-in-progress, stating, "Some of what we're exploring is still experimental," while aiming to "preserve the many things players loved."
  • Black Myth: Zhong Kui currently lacks a release date or confirmed launch platforms, while IGN previously reported internal studio culture allegations linked to a co-founder prior to Wukong's release.
