🔥 Game Science has just shared fresh progress on its next mythic journey — Black Myth: Zhong Kui — revealing a new teaser that hints at a darker chapter in the acclaimed action-RPG saga. Announced during Gamescom 2025, this latest entry in the Black Myth universe moves beyond Black Myth: Wukong, showing that development is officially underway even though full gameplay and release details remain shrouded in mystery.
Is This the Soup of the Underworld?
In this unsettling teaser from Black Myth: Zhong Kui, we witness a ritual unlike anything found in the world of the living: figures—part human, part demon—methodically preparing a meal using living, unnatural ingredients.
This scene does not suggest nourishment.
It suggests transformation.
Given the setting and symbolism, it’s hard not to associate this moment with Meng Po and the legendary Soup of Forgetfulness—a concoction meant not to sustain life, but to erase memory before reincarnation. The deliberate preparation, the lifelike ingredients, and the emotionless ritual all point toward an underworld process rather than an earthly act.
It’s also important to remember who stands at the center of this world: Zhong Kui. As a demon slayer and underworld enforcer, Zhong Kui does not belong to the realm of the living. His presence alone signals that what we are seeing exists beyond life, where souls are judged, altered, or erased—rather than killed.
This is not cooking.
This is not survival.
This is something meant for the dead.
Watch closely.
In the underworld, even a meal can decide a soul’s fate.
