Rumor: miHoYo's New Game is A Pokemon and Baldur's Gate 3-Inspired Autobattler

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 have in store following these successful titles.

For a long time, rumors circulated 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 expansive open-world environment. Players will embark on a unique journey in a coastal entertainment town, where they will collect spirits from different dimensions. A spirit development system, similar to Pokemon, will be included, featuring evolution mechanics and team-building for battles. These spirits can also be utilized for flying and surfing, adding a dynamic element to exploration. The genre is classified as an Autobattler or Auto Chess, promising strategic depth and engaging 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 and exciting ways.
