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 are preparing after these successful titles.

For a long time, there were rumors 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 journey to collect spirits from different dimensions in a vibrant coastal entertainment town. A unique spirit development system, reminiscent of Pokemon, will allow players to evolve their spirits and build teams for engaging battles. Spirits will also offer exciting gameplay mechanics, such as flying and surfing, adding depth to exploration. The genre is classified as an Autobattler or Auto Chess, promising strategic depth and dynamic combat.

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 thrilling ways.
