Look at those guys! Look at those guys!!
Game Science, the developer behind Black Myth: Wukong, has unveiled a 15-minute gameplay trailer for its highly anticipated sequel, Black Myth: Zhong Kui. The trailer showcases the game's player character, a disheveled adventuring swordsman, as he navigates a world inspired by Chinese mythology and folklore. The swordplay is described as confident, with deliberate attack animations, deflections, and parries that give the character a striking martial artistry.
The trailer also reveals unconventional combat options, including the use of firebombs, magical sword charge, and a spirit companion. Notably, there's a boss fight against an oyster man, adding to the game's unique and fantastical combat scenarios. The trailer concludes with more whimsical scenes, including encounters with glowing mushroom men, burying a demon with a shovel, getting an impressive face full of makeup, and a musical performance with a trio of the coolest skeletons ever seen.
It remains unclear if the player character is Zhong Kui, the Taoist deity from the original reveal trailer. Black Myth: Zhong Kui is still in early development and is expected to launch in 2026.
