Black Myth Zhong Kui: Game Science hoping to shift focus from DLC to something new

New fresh start with Zhong Kui story

The latest announcement of new title, Black Myth Zhong Kui from Game Science at Gamescom 2025 really suprised the fans a lot. Everyone thought it was going to be Wukong DLC, but this came unexpected.

Game Science’s CEO Feng Ji has recently shared some of his insights on Weibo, reported by Gamingbolt. Let’s check out more details in this article.

From DLC to new adventure

Initially, Game Science was looking forward towards Wukong DLC development, but then Feng Ji was faced with overhwhelming emotions, confusion, emptiness, and even dread.

Here’s what he shared on his Weibo post:

“What I really couldn’t shake during that period was mostly confusion, emptiness, and a kind of dread (I know that sounds melodramatic — don’t shoot me). No matter how ashamed I felt for ‘not being able to be happy,’ those emotions kept coming, uncontrollably and in waves, especially when I felt pulled under by questions like ‘Are you working on a DLC or not? Which characters will be in it? When will it be released?’

“As a professional adult, I’m good at hiding those negative feelings and convincing myself to pull myself together and get on with making the DLC, because I knew clearly that the people asking for a DLC were, without doubt, fans who love Black Myth: Wukong and Game Science, the very people who carried us to where we are.”

But then everything changed for him and the studio when the co founder, Yang Qi suggested for a new project. That’s how the team shifted the development towards Black Myth Zhong Kui.
