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!

Developed by Game Science, "Black Myth: Zhong Kui"—the second entry in the Black Myth series—was officially unveiled today with its first CG teaser trailer, and simultaneously debuted during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025.

This single-player action role-playing game draws its primary creative inspiration from the famed Chinese folk figure "Zhong Kui". As the project is still in early development, no in-game footage is available at this time.
