miHoYo Teases UE5 Fantasy MMO With Realistic Visuals and AI Systems

A hiring teaser signals early development on a new project that departs from the studio’s anime style while leaving the name, monetization, and release timing unannounced.

Overview

  • miHoYo’s hiring team posted a teaser and project details on Xiaohongshu, later spotted on ResetEra, confirming work on a fantasy MMO built with Unreal Engine 5.
  • Translated materials describe an open-world MMO with PvP, large-scale boss fights, an “Artificial Intelligence Stimulated Ecosystem,” “All-Terrain Battle AI,” and “Intellectual NPC” systems.
  • The early concept video and descriptions point to a shift toward more realistic visuals, diverging from the studio’s usual anime-influenced art direction.
  • An advertisement refers to the project as “Genesis,” but outlets note the name may be a placeholder and it has not been confirmed by miHoYo.
  • No release window or monetization model has been announced, and the extent of AI usage remains unclear beyond the recruitment post’s high-level feature list.
