miHoYo has today revealed the existence of a new fantasy project on its official job recruitment website, announcing the start of hiring for development staff. Additionally, a new video has been unveiled on the site’s homepage.
Although miHoYo is known for titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, which feature anime-style visuals, this upcoming title appears to be different—it seems to be a research and development project focused on a photorealistic fantasy game utilizing Unreal Engine 5 (UE5).
While specific details remain undisclosed, the posted images include keywords such as “fantasy epic,” “vast world,” “raid boss battles,” “co-op gameplay,” “dynamic open world,” “PvP elements,” “ecosystem AI simulation,” and “AI-powered NPCs.”
The image also features the following text, offering a glimpse into the game’s atmosphere:
A grand fantasy world awaits.
Ancient hidden mysteries, demons and monstrous beasts, legendary heroes…
Choose your own path, meet companions…
Restore shattered order, end corrupt pacts, and confront the whims of capricious gods.
The journey to uncover the truth is where your own epic tale begins.
