One of the main reasons to temper expectations is that Black Myth: Zhong Kui simply isn’t anywhere close to being released. Hearing that a sequel is being crafted can make it feel like a potential launch is just hovering overhead.

Game Science, the startup behind one of last year's biggest new role-playing games, is working on a successor in the series, Black Myth: Zhong Kui.

With that being said, the Black Myth: Zhong Kui trailer has been revealed at the Gamescom event 2025. This indicates that the developers are well prepared to launch the sequence of titles. If this rumor turns out to be true, players can expect to witness the next-to-next Black Myth title called Jiang Ziya soon.
