Watch This Before Black Myth: Zhong Kui Arrives - Entire Zhong Kui Story Explained

Black Myth: Zhong Kui is Game Science's next big project after Black Myth: Wukong — and in this video, we cover the new gameplay trailer, combat style, and visuals, but spend most of the time unpacking the real story behind Zhong Kui himself. Zhong Kui is one of the most iconic figures in Chinese folklore — the "King of Ghosts," a former Tang Dynasty scholar who, after a tragic death, became a deity who hunts demons and wanders between the mortal world and hell. We break down his origin myth, how he became a ghost-catcher, and why Game Science picked him as the lead for their next mythology-driven action RPG. If you're into Chinese mythology, dark folklore, and upcoming AAA games, this one's for you.
