Well, it still looks like Wukong with just another name because it seems like a bit (a lot) of Wukong assets will lead this Wukong... I mean... Zhong Kui's adventure.
If GS truly wanna to spread its wings (show the world what it can truly accomplish & they are not just a one-hit-wonder), maybe GS should have directed its focus on another genre other than folklore.
Black Myth: Zhong Kui is the next game in the same world as Black Myth: Wukong. Game Science decided to go a different route rather than make a sequel as they wanted to build more distinct game experiences and challenge themselves with bolder features.
