Zhong, much like Wukong before him, is a god from ancient myths, with a red beard, dark skin and glowing eyes.
Game Science, the start-up behind one of last year’s biggest new role-playing games, is working on a successor in the series, Black Myth: Zhong Kui.
Introduced at the Gamescom conference in Cologne, Germany, a new teaser trailer showcases Game Science’s signature penchant for high-fidelity graphics and taps Chinese folklore again to add a daunting new character to the fantasy universe initiated by Black Myth: Wukong a year ago.
