US EditionBlack Myth: Wukong Developer Reveals 'Non-Canon' Teaser for Sequel Black Myth: Zhong Kui
- To celebrate Chinese New Year, the studio released a non-canon Lunar New Year tech demo for Black Myth: Zhong Kui, made using the engine for the forthcoming game.
- Following earlier varied New Year releases, Game Science has produced annual shorts, including a Year of the Ox trailer and a 12-minute mockumentary about fictional kittens.
- The six-minute short centers on the cookery sequence, showcasing cinematic liquids and tactile textures; reviewers praised particle effects and creature design but called dust and chopped-leaf effects weakest.
- Observers called it a remarkable tech demo that promises much for Black Myth: Zhong Kui, while the studio described the New Year showcase as `stunning gorgeousness` and recommended watching it twice.
- For those seeking canonical visuals, a teaser trailer was released last year, and the demo focuses on the cookery demonstration in the game's mythical ancient China, notably lacking horses.
