It seems that miHoYo's next game, following the success of Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero, might not meet the expectations of many fans who were anticipating something entirely different. For a long time, rumors circulated about a survival game similar to Animal Crossing, which was later confirmed through gameplay leaks. There was also speculation about a large-scale RPG akin to Baldur's Gate 3.
However, recent rumors and job listings suggest that miHoYo's new project will be a departure from these expectations and will instead be connected to the Honkai franchise. Here are the key details about the upcoming game:
Setting and Gameplay: The game will be set in an open-world environment within a coastal entertainment town. Players will engage in collecting spirits from various dimensions.
Spirit Development System: Similar to Pokemon, the game will feature a system where spirits can evolve and be used to build teams for battles. These spirits will also enable players to fly and surf within the game world.
Genre: The game is classified as an Autobattler or Auto Chess, blending elements of strategy and automatic combat.
While the game promises a unique mix of Pokemon, Baldur's Gate 3, and Honkai elements, it remains to be seen how long the development will take and how these concepts will be integrated to expand the Honkai universe in fresh and unexpected ways.
