Black Myth: Zhong Kui 15-minute gameplay reveal

gamingAug 20, 202639132

Game Science released a surprise 15-minute in-engine gameplay trailer for Black Myth: Zhong Kui, giving the first extended look at the sequel’s combat and protagonist. The footage centers on fast swordplay with a crisp parry, elemental fire and lightning abilities, and a mid-boss beat where an ally joins the fight and control can switch. Viewers pointed out the work-in-progress capture looks almost photoreal, with some saying the fidelity is so high they would think it was fake if Wukong had not been shown previously. Fans also keyed on Zhong Kui’s bronze-skinned spirit-hunter identity and his large paintbrush-like weapon, and on the hint of cooperative mechanics layered onto the series’ action.

Not looking forward to hearing western media absolutely butcher the pronunciation of 鍾馗 and make it sound like a French name

Holy crap that Wukong money is definitely on the screen. The Chinese game development scene is incredibly exciting to watch develop in real time.

Feeling slightly cheated that you aren't actually playing as Zhong Kui, according to this trailer (yes, I know Black Myth: Wukong did the same thing technically, but at least you were a monkey in there) Let me be a fat ghost hunter with bronze skin and a big paintbrush, dammit

Okay, between Phantom Blade 0 and the new Black Myth Zhong Kui trailers, my diaspora is so fucking happy but also so fucking sad. The reason I had a really bad day the other day was because I was shown a ton of videos of white people culture policing Asian cultures.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi2Q... I posted Phantom Blade Zero yesterday and now this banger just dropped. Still yet to play Wukong but the next Black Myth: Zhong Kui looking like a must play for me. Another on the influence list.
