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

The gaming community has been buzzing with anticipation about what miHoYo, the creators behind hits like Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero, have in store next. Rumors had been swirling about a potential survival game akin to Animal Crossing, and there was talk of a grand RPG similar to Baldur's Gate 3. However, recent developments suggest that miHoYo's next project might not meet the expectations set by these speculations.

Instead of venturing into entirely new territories, miHoYo seems poised to expand the Honkai franchise with a game that introduces a fresh yet familiar concept. According to recent rumors and job listings, the upcoming title will be set in an open-world coastal entertainment town where players will engage in collecting spirits from various dimensions. These spirits can be nurtured and evolved in a system reminiscent of Pokemon, complete with mechanics for evolution and team-building for strategic battles.

Adding a twist to the gameplay, the spirits in this new game will not only serve as companions but will also enable unique modes of transportation such as flying and surfing. This blend of exploration and interaction with spirits hints at a dynamic and immersive world. The game is expected to fall into the genre of Autobattler or Auto Chess, bringing a strategic element to the mix.

While it's unclear how long it will take to bring this innovative project to fruition, it promises to offer a unique combination of elements from Pokemon, Baldur's Gate 3, and the Honkai series. This new title aims to expand the Honkai universe in unexpected ways, blending familiar concepts with fresh gameplay mechanics. Fans of miHoYo's work are eager to see how this blend will play out and what new adventures await in this coastal entertainment town.
