Black Myth: Zhong Kui Is Real and It’s the Latest Entry in the Series

Details are scarce, but here’s what Game Science has to say about this new project:

No ghosts walked the earth till born of human heart;
Onstage and off, immortals fall to fiends—their perfected art.
Indoors and out, the judge is bound by the same household ties;
The sun is veiled, the moon unmoved—who decrees who lives and who dies?
I turn from worldly tangles and their codes, from glories smeared with sleight.
I raise my sword—I raise it to fight;
With it, I shall judge wrong and right!

The developers say the game draws primary creative inspiration from the famed Chinese folk figure “Zhong Kui.” No gameplay footage or release date has been revealed, as the project is in early development, but we’ll be keeping our eyes on this one.
