Black Myth still active on August 20? Feng Ji responds

Black Myth series producer Feng Ji used his latest Weibo post to answer a fan asking whether there would be “anything happening on August 20 this year,” and his reply was simply “annoying as hell.gif.” The date matters because August 20 has long been when Game Science shares major updates, including new gameplay demos and release-related news for Black Myth: Wukong. In the same exchange, Feng Ji also explained the studio’s expansion: more staff, and not enough gym space.

For players, August 20 has become a date to watch. Over time, it has become closely associated with real Game Science announcements. Because it has previously been tied to fresh gameplay footage and Black Myth: Wukong release-related material, fans asking Feng Ji about it were not just casually pushing for updates. They wanted to know whether that pattern would hold. His full answer, “annoying as hell.gif,” did not reveal much, but the irritation came through clearly.

The bigger question is where the Black Myth series goes next. The original piece says fans are already highly anticipating news on Black Myth: Zhong Kui in two months, and that expectation is driving the speculation. The less the studio says, the more the community fills in the gaps on its own, so even a meme-style reply gets scrutinized for clues.

Feng Ji’s answer on Game Science’s expansion was much more concrete. His reasoning was straightforward: there are more employees now, and the gym area is not big enough. It is a mundane explanation, but it still suggests the team is getting bigger. For anyone following the company, that is more telling than vague talk of “continued investment,” because expansion usually reflects a growing team and greater space needs, even if it does not confirm anything about a specific new project.

The reason August 20 keeps coming up is not that players enjoy betting on dates, but that Game Science has already made it a fixture in the community’s memory through past announcements. For most players, the sensible move now is to watch the official Weibo account and any formal follow-up materials, rather than treat fan speculation as confirmation. If your main interest is Black Myth: Zhong Kui, this exchange is best read as an early sign to keep an eye on things. If you care more about the company itself, then the combination of more staff and a larger workspace at least shows that Game Science is still growing.
