Game Science Bars Generative AI From Black Myth: Zhong Kui as Wukong Scored 82

Summary
Game Science co-founder Yang Qigang said Black Myth: Zhong Kui will not use generative AI in design or asset production, adding there is “no rush” to speed up development.
Weibo comments framed the decision as a quality choice rather than anti-AI resistance, with Yang saying the team wants to “do our best in the final stage” and can adopt new tools later.
That stance suggests Zhong Kui remains far off: Black Myth: Wukong launched only in 2024, and Yang’s update indicates the new game is still in design and asset-production work.
Gamescom 2025 revealed Zhong Kui instead of expected Wukong DLC or a sequel, shifting the anthology to a new protagonist after Wukong became a hit with an 82 OpenCritic score and millions of players.
