With less than a day left until August 20th, players' anticipation for the "August 20th Surprise" has been pushed to its peak by this detail.
Recently, attentive players noticed that the official Weibo page for Black MYTH - Steam Edition shows a total of 109 posts, but only 108 are actually visible. This "missing post" quickly sparked heated discussion within the community. Players generally speculate that this invisible post is likely a scheduled Weibo post, set up but not yet published, waiting to be revealed at a key moment.
For fans of Black MYTH - Steam Edition, "August 20th" is no longer an ordinary date. Since 2020, Game Science has chosen to report project progress to the public every August 20th, which has become an unshakable tradition. From the first 13-minute gameplay demo, to offline trial events, to the official release of Black MYTH - Steam Edition: Wukong on August 20, 2024, and the official announcement of the series' second installment, Black MYTH - Steam Edition: Zhong Kui, on the same day in 2025, this date has witnessed the entire journey of "Black MYTH - Steam Edition" from its stunning debut to its transformation into a benchmark for Chinese single-player games.
The clue of this "scheduled post" has further fueled players' imaginations. Since the official announcement of Black MYTH - Steam Edition: Zhong Kui last year, substantial information about this new title has been extremely limited. It wasn't until February this year that the team released a Lunar New Year gameplay short film, and in May, Feng Ji revealed that he had already composed two music demos for the sequel—these scattered pieces of news have far from satisfied players' curiosity.
As for what this mysterious scheduled post will bring, there is no conclusion yet. Will it be a new gameplay demo for Black MYTH - Steam Edition: Zhong Kui? Or perhaps the first hint regarding the release window? Or maybe just a routine update or DLC-related news for Black MYTH - Steam Edition: Wukong? All these mysteries may only be unveiled on August 20th itself.
