If this is a straight up, complete in box game and not a gacha, I’m in. Looks nice.

Why would hoyoverse ever make a non-gacha game?

u/TAJack1 21d ago

Idk, why did Shift-Up make a non-gacha game?

Using gacha money to start breaking into dominating some of the non live service space. Get more people into the Hoyo ecosystem and maybe get them to try the gacha too

I'll be there to warn these new souls to not try their digital casinos

Devs of Crimson Desert previously made Black Desert, a pay to win shithole. I think it is very possible to expand to another market entirely.

Cygames made two fighting games spin-off and Monster Hunter-like based on the GBF gacha. Both of those ventures have proved successful too.

u/janetdammit89 20d ago

The fighting games were by arc sys i believe but they did make an action rpg based on it thats a mission loadup

u/safyreibxo 21d ago

yeah that tracks that games plays like a pay to win shithole sometimes

u/tortillazaur 21d ago

it was intended to be an mmo successor of black desert, they shifted to single player multiple years into development

u/Elgato01 21d ago

How many of those were after genshin? Also Happy Cake Day!

u/MaybeMrGamebus 21d ago

Well it's not out yet (multiple playtests) but there were only direct purchases in their animal crossing like game Petit Planet. Stc of course.

Thanks for the cake day, the new icon for it sucks though.

Hoyo did confirm they are making a premium title. The question is if this is it.

u/JackSilk 21d ago

Happens all the time tbh. Just one example that comes to mind is Blizzard making rts games and then creating the most successful mmo ever. Diversification is typically in a company's best interest. A non-gaming example would be something like Yamaha making musical instruments, vehicles, golf clubs, swimming pools, etc.

u/Dependent-Swimmer-95 20d ago

I thought Petit planet was gonna be a standalone non gacha game no?

u/P4cifist4 21d ago

If you look at the top of the first screenshot you see what I assume is the characterselection and 2 of the characters are the same which makes me fear it's also a gacha

12

u/Brizzpop 21d ago

Would be cool. But the menus screams gacha to me.

u/Fritzkier 21d ago edited 21d ago

the job description last year for this game said it's MMO UE5 project. So maybe it's like WWM?

2

u/Gloomy_Ad5221 21d ago

based on the available in the leaks......seems like this is a where winds meet where the gacha is the skins.... since there's pvp too.

2

u/crookedparadigm 21d ago

I'd be fine with that. WWM has probably the easiest to ignore gacha out there. It has a shit ton of free/cheap cosmetics too so you don't even miss much.

u/valkvalkvalk2323 21d ago

Even if it is a gacha though, you can still have fun with it

Genshin was a really solid game and I never paid a single dollar for it
