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

by Zoey Mar 19,2025

miHoYo, the creators of the wildly popular Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero, have been shrouded in mystery regarding their next big project. Initial speculation, fueled by leaks and rumors, pointed towards a Animal Crossing-esque survival game or perhaps a sprawling RPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate 3.

However, recent whispers and job postings suggest a different direction entirely. Instead of a standalone title, miHoYo's "answer" to Larian Studios' hit RPG seems to be an expansion within the established Honkai universe. This new game will feature:

An Open World: Explore a vibrant coastal entertainment town.
Spirit Collection: Gather spirits from various dimensions, reminiscent of Pokémon.
Spirit Development: A robust evolution system and team-building mechanics will be central to gameplay.
Unique Abilities: Utilize your spirits for traversal, including flying and surfing.
Autobattler/Auto Chess Genre: The game will fall under the auto-battler or auto-chess genre.

The fusion of Pokémon-like spirit collection, the open-world exploration reminiscent of Baldur's Gate 3, and its integration within the Honkai universe presents a unique and intriguing concept. While the development timeline remains unclear, this project promises a fresh take on familiar mechanics, expanding the Honkai lore in unexpected ways.
