Five More Titles Trademarked In Black Myth Series, Suggesting Long-Term Franchise Plan

Expert Verified By

Seven Trademarks In Total!

Story Highlight
  • Game Science is rapidly expanding the Black Myth franchise.
  • The studio has trademarked seven titles, with Wukong already released and Zhong Kui recently revealed.
  • While it’s unclear whether all trademarks will become full games, current momentum suggests more adaptations are likely.

Black Myth: Wukong, the title that shocked everyone by surpassing all but one game’s concurrent players on Steam. No one, literally no one, expected this game to reach almost 2.5 million players and that too, only on Steam. 

Following the extremely successful release of this game, the developer just recently announced Black Myth: Zhong Kui, a new instalment in the franchise. However, the developer isn’t stopping there; it has further trademarked five more games, suggesting that the franchise has a bright future.

Why it matters: Game Science is serious about expanding the Black Myth franchise, as there is even more content confirmed for Wukong.

A user on Reddit discovered that Game Science has trademarked seven games in total, among which one has been released and one has been announced. Below is the list of all trademarks:

  • 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

Within just two years, the Chinese studio has registered a total of seven trademarks tied to the Black Myth franchise. While not all of them are guaranteed to receive full game adaptations, the recent reveal of Black Myth: Zhong Kui proves that Game Science is indeed exploring its broader myth-inspired vision. This raises the possibility that other titles could be unveiled in the future.

Thanks To The Success of Black Myth: Wukong, China Ramped Up The Focus on Gaming

Considering the massive success of Black Myth: Wukong, it would not be surprising if Game Science continued expanding the franchise even further. If all seven trademarks were to eventually receive game adaptations, it would be a dream come true for fans of the series.

However, it is worth noting that Black Myth: Nezha, registered in 2021 and again in 2022, was not filed by Game Science. Instead, another company seems to hold the rights, potentially waiting for Game Science to make an offer to secure it.
