As you already know, miHoYo recently launched two new projects, theVTuber Lumi N0vawith her animated desktop appN0va Desktop, and open-world ARPGGenshin Impact. Available onPC,PS4, iOS, and Android. N0va Desktop includes multiple Yumi videos published so far, but also aGenshin Impactbackground. As such, when DualShockers recently got to interview miHoYo, we asked them if Lumi N0va could appear inGenshin Impactat some point. Here is miHoYo’s answer:miHoYo: “We are very happy that players around the world are already beginning to discover and fall in love with our virtual avatar, Lumi N0va. While we do not yet have any plans for cross-over cooperation, please feel free to leave us feedback about your thoughts and where you might want to see Lumi N0va in the future”.Right now, miHoYo doesn’t have plans to add Lumi N0va inGenshin Impact. However, if fans ask for it, it might actually happen.Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised if a Lumi N0va concert happened inGenshin Impactat some point. It’s important to note many online games often do crossover events like these.PSO2does it withHatsune Mikuand Vocaloid characters for example. Seeing Sega holds the rights forHatsune Mikugames. To take a much more mainstream example,Fortniterecently did multiple events like these too. Perhaps Lumi could even become playable inGenshinat some point.Anyways. If you want Lumi inGenshin Impact, be sure to tell miHoYo. The independent studio publishes the YoYo Lumi videos on Chinese sitebilibiliwith Chinese subs, and later on,YouTubewith English subs. While the videos release schedule so far was weekly or biweekly, there was only one video published in September: Lumi N0va EP 13: Lumi’s Qipao Dance in the Meadow. It’s just a guess, but I assume the N0va Desktop team is busy working onGenshin Impactas well, preparing the game’s launch and first days post release.

Soon after the launch ofGenshin Impact,multiple Japanese players claimed the game was"spyware"or was doingclipboard snooping. miHoYo denied both of these allegations and explained in detail what actually happened. The issues were both unintentional, and have now been solved as well.
We’ll soon publish our full interview with theGenshin Impactdevelopment team at miHoYo, so stay tuned.
