The quick answer

Confirmed: Black Myth: Zhong Kui is Game Science's second Black Myth game, a single-player action RPG based on Chinese mythology starring Zhong Kui, the traditional ghost catcher. It has been shown in a CG teaser and two gameplay videos.[1][2]

Not confirmed: no release date, release window or platforms have been announced. Some outlets speculate a release around 2029 based on the four-year gap between Wukong's reveal and launch, but that is media speculation, not an official statement.[3]
