Details about Black Myth: Wukong sequel Black Myth: Zhong Kui have been light on the ground since its reveal at Gamescom 2025, but the devs at Game Science just revealed six minutes of in-engine footage that fans are taking as evidence that "they are cooking" – literally.

Ahead of Chinese New Year later this month, Game Science has shared the footage in celebration of the Year of the Horse. A disclaimer right at the end clarifies that "this content is non-canon and unrelated to the main storyline," so as far as Black Myth: Zhong Kui goes, this is more of a flex of how impressive its cutscenes could look in the final product rather than a hint of what's to come in the narrative.

The video shows a woman preparing a feast – specifically, cooking a selection of different yaoguai to make what looks like a hot pot. Some in the YouTube comments have joked that this is confirmation that "Zhong Kui is a cooking game," and while that's obviously not the case, everything looks so good here that I'm sure many would unironically welcome a minigame of sorts.

Anyway, as Game Science says, the video doesn't really tie to the game at all, but it's managed to hype fans up regardless. "Ah I see. Basically they are saying they are cooking," one popular comment reads, while many others share the same sentiment.

"Game Science is confident enough to flex because they can. You cannot say that about a lot of devs. They are definitely cooking the game!" writes another, while a fan on ResetEra comments: "Let them cook and they did!"

There's still no release window for Black Myth: Zhong Kui, so it's not clear how long we could be waiting for the sequel – at Gamescom, it was noted that even the director has "absolutely no idea" when it's coming out. We'll just have to watch this space.

Be sure to keep an eye on our roundup of new games for releases coming this year and beyond.

Deputy News Editor

I'm GamesRadar+'s Deputy News Editor, working alongside the rest of the news team to deliver cool gaming stories that we love. After spending more hours than I can count filling The University of Sheffield's student newspaper with Pokemon and indie game content, and picking up a degree in Journalism Studies, I started my career at GAMINGbible where I worked as a journalist for over a year and a half. I then became TechRadar Gaming's news writer, where I sourced stories and wrote about all sorts of intriguing topics. In my spare time, you're sure to find me on my Nintendo Switch or PS5 playing through story-driven RPGs like Xenoblade Chronicles and Persona 5 Royal, nuzlocking old Pokemon games, or going for a Victory Royale in Fortnite.
