Black Myth: Zhong Kui will centre on the fascinating tales of the Eastern immortal Zhong Kui and his marvelous quest to banish evil.

No ghosts walked the earth till born of human heart;

Onstage and off, immortals fall to fiends—their perfected art.

Indoors and out, the judge is bound by the same household ties;

The sun is veiled, the moon unmoved—who decrees who lives and who dies?

I turn from worldly tangles and their codes, from glories smeared with sleight.

I raise my sword—I raise it to fight;

With it, I shall judge wrong and right!

With blood beneath my blade, I paint new rouge upon my face,
An old friend visits, in a dream taking place.
Old faces, bygone deeds, have vanished from my sight,
Still, I remember every one, by day and through the night.
Those bound by love grow old; the righteous road runs long;
Today's notes of grace or grudge define not the final song.
Who says the Underworld is far away?
All the better—once more I'll walk along.
