MiHoYo seems to be constantly busy with their successful games like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. They are now working on upcoming releases such as Petit Planet and Honkai: Nexus Anima. In addition to these, they are also developing an MMO, tentatively named Genesis, which appears to incorporate some form of AI, although the specifics are unclear.
Recently, miHoYo released a teaser video for the MMO on ResetEra, describing it as a “fantasy realism open world game.” While details are scarce, some key points have been revealed. The game will be built on Unreal Engine 5, feature PvP, “Intellectual NPC,” and include elements like an “Artificial Intelligence Stimulated Eco System” and “All-Terrain Battle AI.”

It is worth noting that the mention of AI in the game may refer to NPC behaviors rather than a negative connotation. However, miHoYo has a history of incorporating AI in their games, such as Zenless Zone Zero. The concept of an AI stimulated eco system raises questions, and it is advised to approach this information with caution until more details are revealed.
From the brief teaser provided, it appears that Genesis will have a different aesthetic compared to games like Genshin Impact, potentially appealing to a broader audience beyond anime enthusiasts. This marks a new direction for miHoYo, known for their captivating character designs.
