Nothing is stopping the Genshin Impact studio. After the release of Honkai Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero in 2023 and 2024 respectively, we have a detailed overview of their future game.
Despite a new controversy surrounding Genshin Impact, mobile, console and PC gaming are not really experiencing the crisis ahead of the 5.0 update. And the same goes for the latest MiHoYo titles, which have hit the mark by any means possible. Zenless Zone Zero and Honkai Star Rail are enjoying great popularity, and the same could be true of the Chinese studio’s upcoming production. A software that will really be different from the rest.
First details about MiHoYo’s new game (Genshin Impact)
MiHoYo has no time to breathe and is releasing one after the other at a hellish pace. While the studio could benefit from recent successes such as Zenless Zone Euro and Genshin Impact, the developers are instead getting back to work with a new game that is revealing its first secrets today. A job posting accessible on the MiHoYo website reveals the existence of a unreleased AAA title in development. One of the requirements for accessing this position to create 3D characters is “Love games and especially AAA”. Nothing unusual or special so far.
On the other hand, the Genshin Impact studio warns that the successful candidate must be comfortable with the design and even be good at it « realistic characters and monsters ». However, in the latest games, we are pursuing more of an artistic direction in cel shading that does not really aim for realism. It would therefore be very different from Genshin Impact and the other productions that MiHoYo has accustomed players to. It is also said that the profile must have strong experience in modeling humanoid monsters / aliens
Unfortunately, this is the only information available about the next game from the creators of Genshin Impact, so it will be very different. A few months ago, the studio filed a new trademark that could perhaps fit in with it. To see if this is true and whether or not MiHoYo will be ready to announce this title before the end of the year.
