Game Science has dropped a Chinese New Year in-engine video for Black Myth: Zhong Kui that centers on lavishly rendered food and kitchen moments. While the footage demonstrates impressive rendering chops and appears to push the studio's visual tech, it isn't intended to represent actual gameplay.

  • The short clip is an in-engine showcase released as a festive special rather than a gameplay reveal.
  • Visuals emphasize detailed dishes and culinary animation, highlighting improvements in food rendering and material fidelity.
  • Developers are using the sequence to demonstrate art and tech capabilities, so it should be seen as a tech/cinematic piece, not play footage.
  • Zhong Kui is presented as a follow-up to the studio's Black Myth: Wukong project, continuing Game Science's investment in cinematic presentation.
  • The release follows a broader trend of studios polishing food and cooking visuals to showcase realism and attention to detail.
