Short answer: Yes and no — Game Science has confirmed further Black Myth projects but not a traditional, immediate direct sequel to Black Myth: Wukong. At Gamescom 2025 the studio revealed a follow-up Black Myth title, Black Myth: Zhong Kui, and while the team explicitly hinted that “the westward journey won’t end here,” Zhong Kui is a separate protagonist and the studio says it’s in very early development; there’s no release date yet and no formal Wukong sequel timeline. Reuters report on the Zhong Kui reveal and Bloomberg coverage of the studio’s plans summarize the announcement.
Supporting details: Outside of Zhong Kui, Game Science and backers have discussed delivering substantial post‑launch content for Wukong — including talk of a large expansion or DLC rather than an immediate numbered sequel — but those plans have shifted as the studio prioritizes the new project. Media coverage and developer comments make clear that Wukong’s story may continue via expansion or future entries in the Black Myth series, yet specifics (scope, timing, pricing) remain unconfirmed. For now, expect more Black Myth projects, but not a scheduled Wukong sequel today. GamesRadar report on the studio’s statements
