Chinese developer Game Science described Black Myth: Zhong Kui as planned for “PC and all mainstream console platforms,” and a Sony upload of the Lunar New Year trailer on February 11, 2026 included a PS5 Games label, pointing to PlayStation support.
The Sony upload matters because PlayStation did not host the original reveal trailer for the project. That difference makes the new upload a plausible indirect confirmation that the studio intends the sequel to appear on PS5.
The clip shown is an in-engine Lunar New Year piece that the video description clearly labels “non-canon and for entertainment purposes only.” It mixes a domestic cooking scene with jarring, occasionally unsettling imagery. Visual detail stands out in the clip, from steam rising off food to multiple characters interacting in a crowded environment, and the assets look markedly polished.
Game Science has not attached a release date. The studio presented the trailer as a short celebratory tech demonstration, not a launch window, so there is no timetable for when players might actually play the title on any platform.
Following the success of Black Myth: Wukong and its subsequent platform rollouts, the apparent PS5 tagging for Zhong Kui signals the studio is continuing a multi-platform approach. Earlier coverage tracked Wukong’s move to Xbox after its initial console release, which provides context for how Game Science has handled platforms in the series so far and beyond.
