The new game from miHoYo, the creators of Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero, is generating significant buzz among fans. While many expected a survival game similar to Animal Crossing or a large-scale RPG akin to Baldur's Gate 3, recent rumors and job listings suggest a different direction. The upcoming title will be part of the Honkai franchise, blending elements from various popular genres into a unique gaming experience.
Set in an open-world coastal entertainment town, players will embark on a journey to collect spirits from different dimensions. These spirits will be central to the gameplay, featuring a development system reminiscent of Pokemon. Players can nurture their spirits, helping them evolve and build teams for battles. Additionally, spirits will enhance gameplay mechanics, allowing for activities like flying and surfing, adding a dynamic layer to exploration.
The game is classified as an Autobattler or Auto Chess, which introduces strategic elements to the spirit battles. This innovative mix of Pokemon-style spirit development, RPG elements similar to Baldur's Gate 3, and the expansive world of Honkai promises to deliver a fresh take on familiar concepts. While the development timeline remains uncertain, this project aims to expand the Honkai universe in exciting and unexpected ways, offering fans a new adventure to look forward to.
