Genshin ImpactandHonkai Impact 3rdfans have another unannounced game to look forward to, as miHoYo Japan is teasing a brand new project in its new recruitment drive.
miHoYo, also known as HoYoverse, is the successful developer ofHonkai, Genshin Impact,and many other projects such asTears of Themisorvirtual actress Lumi N0va. The company initially based in Shangai is teasing another project now, and looks like it’s different fromHonkai Star Rail.
miHoYo Japan Teases New Game in Recruitment Drive
miHoYo Japan published on March 25 a new recruitment drive, on Twitter. Nothing unusual there. miHoYo Japanregularly hiresnew recruits and regularly makes similar announcements on Twitter. Most notably for itsmarketing teamand its translation teams, as the developers are constantly trying to improve the Japanese translation for time-limited events. Several Japanese voiced lines with weird grammar were changed over time too when compared toGenshin Impact 1.0.
However, the image tweeted with the recruitment announcement is what has been piquing my interest. Three doors represent three different projects among the many projects developed by miHoYo. Check it out below.
The Honkai 4 Galaxia game project
The left door is Teyvat, whereGenshin Impacttakes place in, and is an iconic word of the game’s lore. Similarly, the Hyperion is the home battleship ofHonkai Impact 3rd, housing the player and the Valkyries. However, nothing comes to mind when it comes to Galaxia, hinting it’s a new project. Possibly theHonkai 4 Galaxiathat was trademarked back in 2020, before theHonkai Star Railtrademark.
It’s also important to note thatHonkai Star Railalready had a beta test, and as far as I know, there is nothing named “Galaxia” with the same importance as “Teyvat” or “Hyperion” in the game’s lore. Further hinting thatGalaxiais not referring toHonkai Star Railbut toHonkai 4 Galaxiaor another new project. The same train of thought was also shared on Twitter by UBatcha, a pillar of theGenshin ImpactEnglish community.
Honkai Star Railcurrently has another beta test going on. However, this time players are forbidden from sharing gameplay and details. This is a surprising move from miHoYo. Because the beta tests ofGenshin Impactprior release and the firstHonkai Star Railbeta test had no restrictions like these. Meanwhile,Genshin Impactwill enter its Version 2.6 on March 30. What do you thinkGalaxiacould be referring to? Let us know in the comments below!
New Teaser Revealed (Update)
Another picture was shared by miHoYo Japan on April 20, showing the same location inside their office but from a different angle. The corridor’s walls have a timeline featuring all of the HoYoverse projects. While most of the timeline is obscured, we can spot “Honkai 3rd” and its release year, 2016. If you take a closer look at that spot, there are at least two branches in the timeline sprouting from the same part of the tree asHonkai Impact 3rd. One of these branches should be the new upcoming gameHonkai Star Rail,while the other one would be this new unannounced game.
