Genshin Impression’s developer, Hoyoverse, is again within the kitchen cooking up a brand new sport, and it appears prefer it takes some inspiration from Pokémon. The challenge is a part of Hoyoverse’s rising Honkai IP and is hiring throughout a spread of growth and testing roles.
The fan translation of the as-yet-unnamed Honkai IP’s job itemizing describes gathering, coaching, and evolving “Destined Spirits” in a “tranquil seaside city,” which, at first look, sounds so much like Pokémon. Nonetheless, the battle system is the place this idea differs, referencing “auto chess battles.” In case you’re unfamiliar with the style, consider Hearthstone’s Battlegrounds or Riot’s Teamfight Ways League of Legends sport.
This isn’t the primary time that Hoyoverse has toyed with monster battling in numerous varieties throughout its current video games. We’ve seen beetle battling and buying and selling card video games in Genshin Impression, Aetherium Wars in Honkai Star Rail, and on the time of writing, a TFT-style minigame is stay in Honkai Impression third. It’s clear that the challenge remains to be in early growth, because the publish advertises roles in character idea design, rigging, mission and stage planning, and extra.
Though there’s a slight overlap within the cozy, creature-based theme of this new challenge and Petit Planet, Hoyoverse’s upcoming Animal Crossing-like sport, the Reddit OP chibi0108 assures readers that this publish is for a completely new sport. You too can see the Chinese language characters for Honkai, 崩坏, within the picture on the very prime, and nothing we’ve seen thus far about Petit Planet hyperlinks again to the Honkai collection.
Whereas a Honkai Pokémon-like sport sounds intriguing, we hope it’s legally distinct sufficient that Hoyoverse doesn’t face the authorized wrath of Recreation Freak. And don’t fear, this doesn’t imply that Honkai Star Rail is dying – there are nonetheless loads of Honkai Star Rail occasions to take pleasure in throughout our journey to Amphoreus.
