miHoYo has announced a brand new open-world RPG that appears to be heavily inspired by Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This new RPG is called Genshin Impact, will be coming to iOS and the PC, and you can find below its announcement trailer.
As said, Genshin Impact appears to be inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The art style of these two games seem similar, and there are also gameplay mechanics that will remind you of those found in Nintendo’s title.
miHoYo claimed that in the coming months it will be unveiling more details about the game, showcasing the world it has created, brand new gameplay systems, new friends and new enemies, as well as new loot that will be available in the game.
Enjoy the trailer and stay tuned for more!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

This actually looks like it could be pretty good.
BOTW + A Better Combat System + Uncapped Framereate = Immediately Interested.
If it another generic MMORPG, it a trash for me
Tragically, its an MMO
ha! WTF! really? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Open World RPG / MMO are two different things normally. If it’s a MMO then they really blew it

Breath of the Wifu and on PC!
Yes yes yessssssssssssssss
I really think Breath of the Wild is the worst Zelda. Just could not get into it, tried so many times.
But this stuff looks really fun.
Man, that looks awesome! Is this an offline SP game?
If it’s offline plus a SP game I will be getting it for sure.
Its an MMO, as unfortunate as that is
For f_ck sake 🙁 , thanks for the info. Man that really s_cks, what a shame.
“Its an MMO”
it says “an open-world action RPG.” on their site. they have a sign-up for beta testing. which was no different for Edge of Eternity.
– edit – just checked again. it is not a MMO.

they are hosting a closed beta though for reception. and for those that are interested.
I think you forgot that every single MMO site calls it an MMO. The company only makes MMOs. The beta survey asks questions relevant to MMOs. I signed up for the beta. I’m sure you probably did, too
I’d take it with a grain of salt, MMO sites these days call anything that is F2P and online an MMO even when they aren’t.They especially do this nowadays to cover non MMO games on their site because the number of real MMOs in recent times has rapidly dwindled. MMO sites are really just F2P and Online game sites nowadays.
their website and youtube page list it 4 times specifically as “open-world action RPG”. not MMORPG, Online RPG, or Battle Royal.
when gamers forget to read headlines….
Did you sign up for the Beta? It asks you about loot boxes, pay to win, cosmetics, and other things like that which make me wonder if it is an MMO. You need to be an online game for those mechanics else why ask about them?
You are correct the site does say “an open-world action RPG” you would think it would say “an MMO” if it was…
Dude I want to believe. If your are right and it really is not a MMORPG or Online RPG I am going to loose my mind 🙂 . I really hope your right, already messaged them will see what they say.
It’s most likely online but probably not an MMO and more like a Singelplayer + coop + small scale online game. The devs previous game series Honkai Impact is a singleplayer centric game but is online
i for one welcome our chinnese overlords.
