It seems that the new game from the creators of Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero will not be exactly what many players expected from miHoYo. Fans have been eagerly anticipating what the developers are planning after the success of these titles.
For a long time, there were rumors circulating about a survival game similar to Animal Crossing, which was later confirmed through gameplay leaks. Additionally, speculation arose regarding 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, HSR, and ZZZ will be tied to the Honkai franchise. Here are some key details:
The game will feature an open-world environment, allowing players to explore a coastal entertainment town. In this setting, players will collect spirits from different dimensions. There will be a spirit development system similar to Pokemon, including evolution mechanics and team-building for battles. Spirits can be used for flying and surfing, adding a dynamic element to exploration and combat. The genre is classified as an Autobattler or Auto Chess, bringing a strategic layer to the gameplay.
It remains unclear how long it will take to develop this unique blend of Pokemon, 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, offering fans a new experience within the beloved franchise.
