Black Myth: Zhong Kui likely won't mark the end as Game Science is expected to continue the series

According to @QNDZYcom, the seven Black Myth titles supposedly trademarked by Game Science are:

Black Myth: Wukong
Black Myth: Zhong Kui
Black Myth: Jiang Ziya
Black Myth: Xiao Qian
Black Myth: Da Huang
Black Myth: Shan Hai
Black Myth: Sou Shen

According to another source, all of the mentioned titles were trademarked between 2020 and 2022, suggesting a long-term plan by the developers to continue the series. Based on that claim, it can be said that Black Myth: Wukong was the first title to be registered in 2020, followed by Zhong Kui and Xiao Qian. The remaining three titles were supposedly registered in 2022.

Interestingly, there is also a title called Black Myth: Nezha, but it was seemingly registered by a different organization rather than Game Science. Black Myth: Nezha probably refers to the Fengshen Yanyi, also known as the Investiture of the Gods, mentioned in the classical Chinese novel "Journey to the West."

In the story, Yanyi has a greater importance during the early clash between Sun Wukong and the Celestial Army. It will be exciting to see how the developers implement Chinese mythology in the games and link all the Black Myth titles.

With that being said, the Black Myth: Zhong Kui trailer has been revealed at the Gamescom event 2025. This indicates that the developers are well prepared to launch the sequence of titles. If this rumor turns out to be true, players can expect to witness the next-to-next Black Myth title called Jiang Ziya soon.
