Six months ago, Game Science announced the next entry in the Black Myth franchise, and it’s titled Black Myth: Zhong Kui, which stars a different Chinese folklore character.

To mark Chinese New Year, which falls on February 17 this year, Game Science has released six minutes of in-engine footage for the game! While there’s no combat or actual gameplay shown, it does give us a peek at the art style the devs are going for.

Per Game Science, “This video was made as a Year of the Horse Special. Please note that this content is non-canon and for entertainment purposes only.”

It seems the game is far off, but I’m hoping we will get gameplay footage soon-ish.

While the developers have confirmed that Wukong will continue, they want to start from scratch with Zhong Kui. Speaking of Wukong, the game did receive a game update last month, so it’s not like the developers are abandoning it or anything.
