It seems that the new game from miHoYo, the creators behind Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero, is stirring up quite the buzz, though not quite in the way many fans anticipated. After the success of these titles, the gaming community was abuzz with speculation about what miHoYo would unveil next.
For a while, whispers circulated about a survival game akin to Animal Crossing, which was later substantiated by gameplay leaks. There was also chatter about a grand RPG that could stand toe-to-toe with the likes of Baldur's Gate 3. However, it appears that miHoYo's latest project might not meet the expectations of those who've been following the "insights" and announcements online.
Recent rumors and job listings suggest that this new game will expand the Honkai universe, bringing players into an open-world environment set in a coastal entertainment town. Here, players will embark on a unique journey to collect spirits from various dimensions. These spirits aren't just collectibles; they come with a development system reminiscent of Pokemon, complete with evolution mechanics and team-building for battles. Imagine the thrill of using these spirits to soar through the skies or ride the waves.
The game's genre is leaning towards an Autobattler or Auto Chess style, blending elements of Pokemon, Baldur's Gate 3, and the Honkai series into something fresh and exciting. While it's still unclear how long it will take for this project to come to fruition, one thing is certain: miHoYo is set to deliver a game that reimagines familiar concepts and expands their universe in ways fans might not have expected.
