Game Science to avoid generative AI for Black Myth: Zhong Kui

Game Science, the developer behind the successful Black Myth: Wukong, has announced that it will avoid using generative AI for the design and asset production of its upcoming title, Black Myth: Zhong Kui.

Co-founder and art director Yang Qi stated that the studio intends to prioritize traditional, handcrafted creative processes to ensure high visual quality and artistic authenticity. While not explicitly rejecting the technology, the studio aims to avoid using AI as a shortcut to accelerate development. Yang compared this approach to filmmaker Christopher Nolan, who utilizes traditional cinematic techniques to achieve high-quality results in a digital era.

Black Myth: Zhong Kui will feature a new protagonist based on a mythological exorcist from Chinese folklore. The project is currently in the early stages of development for PC and consoles.
