It seems that the new game from the creators of Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero is taking a different direction than many fans anticipated from miHoYo. After the success of these titles, fans were eagerly awaiting what the developers would unveil next.
For a long time, rumors circulated about a survival game similar to Animal Crossing, which was later substantiated through gameplay leaks. Additionally, there was speculation about a large-scale RPG akin to Baldur's Gate 3. However, miHoYo's anticipated "response" to Larian Studios' acclaimed work may not meet the expectations set by various online "insights" and announcements.
Recent rumors and job listings suggest that the new game from the creators of Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero will be linked to the Honkai franchise. Here are some intriguing details about the upcoming title:
The game will feature an expansive open-world environment set in a coastal entertainment town. Players will engage in collecting spirits from different dimensions, adding a unique twist to the gameplay. The spirits can be developed through a system reminiscent of Pokemon, including evolution mechanics and strategic team-building for battles. These spirits will also enable players to fly and surf, enhancing the exploration aspect of the game. The genre is being described as an Autobattler or Auto Chess, which introduces an innovative layer to the gaming experience.
It's still uncertain how long it will take to fully develop this intriguing blend of Pokemon, Baldur's Gate 3, and Honkai elements. The project promises to offer a fresh perspective on familiar concepts while expanding the Honkai universe in novel and unexpected ways.
