It seems that the new game from miHoYo, the creators of Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero, might not meet the expectations of many fans. For a long time, there were rumors about a survival game similar to Animal Crossing, which was later confirmed through gameplay leaks. Additionally, there was speculation about a large-scale RPG reminiscent of Baldur's Gate 3.
However, it appears that miHoYo's "response" to Larian Studios' masterpiece may not align with the expectations of some fans who have seen various "insights" and announcements online. According to recent rumors and job listings analysis, the new game from the creators of Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero will be tied to the Honkai franchise. Here are some key details:
The game will feature an open-world environment set in a coastal entertainment town. Players will collect spirits from different dimensions, with a spirit development system similar to Pokémon, including evolution mechanics and team-building for battles. Spirits can also be used for flying and surfing, adding a unique twist to gameplay. The genre is classified as an Autobattler or Auto Chess, which is a departure from what many fans anticipated.
It remains unclear how long it will take to develop this unique blend of Pokémon, Baldur's Gate 3, and Honkai elements. The project promises to bring a fresh take on familiar concepts while expanding the Honkai universe in unexpected ways.
