Feng Ji Follows Xu Song, Fans Smell a Black Myth: Zhong Kui Collab

Here's a fun one for your Monday. A sharp-eyed player was casually scrolling through their following list when they noticed something interesting: Game Science's Feng Ji hit follow on musician Xu Song last week. Cue the internet detective mode.

The theory? Xu Song might be cooking up a track for Black Myth: Zhong Kui. It's not the wildest guess in the world, either. When Zhong Kui was first revealed, its soundtrack and folk-horror vibes were a big talking point, so any musical breadcrumb tends to get a lot of attention.

Fans are split on the idea, as you'd expect. One camp is fully on board, arguing that Xu Song's signature Chinese-style sound fits Zhong Kui's supernatural folklore aesthetic perfectly, and pointing out that his game music has always been solid. The other camp is a little more skeptical, saying his vocal tone doesn't quite match the series, and they'd rather see him write the song while someone else handles the singing.

There's also a healthy dose of realism in the replies. Some players reminded everyone that the last time Feng Ji followed a famous musician, nothing came of it. Following someone, they noted, doesn't automatically mean a collaboration is happening.

So where does that leave us? Nowhere official, obviously. Game Science hasn't said a word about any of this, and a follow is just a follow. But it's the kind of tiny detail that keeps a fanbase buzzing between announcements, and honestly, that's half the fun.

Black Myth: Zhong Kui is headed to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. No release date has been announced yet, so for now we're all just watching social media and speculating.

Would you want Xu Song involved with Black Myth: Zhong Kui? Should he write the song, sing it himself, or stay away entirely? Drop your take in the comments.
