MiHoYo’s plans to enhance Genshin Impact
The developer has recently shared their plans to add more regions to Genshin Impact. Although the game’s map is already extensive, it still has some parts that are still unexplored. The company has revealed that they plan to add four new regions in the next four years. This means that players will eventually be able to explore all seven regions of Teyvat. To this end, MiHoYo has promised to release small updates to the game that add more content to it.
The company has also pushed the development team to extend the game’s roadmap to twelve years. After all, the game’s popularity has led to more than a billion dollars in revenue, which is an impressive figure for a mobile game. The developer plans to use the extra money to fund their plans for additional content, including a new housing system. Moreover, the company has plans to expand the game’s global reach by opening offices in different cities.
A new update will arrive every six weeks for Genshin Impact. These updates will introduce new characters, mechanics, and limited time events. The company also plans to establish a new research and development center in North America. Currently, MiHoYo has about 700 employees working on the game, which represents almost two-thirds of its entire staff. The company also plans to open a research and development centre in the United States in the coming years.
MiHoYo’s enthusiasm for the next-gen Xbox consoles
Despite MiHoYo’s enthusiastic remarks, it’s hard to imagine the developer porting his Genshin Impact game to the Xbox One. The game has been sold over 17 million times on mobile, which speaks to the intrigue of its story and graphics. MiHoYo says that more content will be released for the game. It may not make it onto Xbox, but it will be available on next-gen consoles. If the developer makes a decision to port the game to Xbox, it will be great news for the Xbox One.
While it is unclear what the developer’s plans are for the game’s next release, it’s evident that it’s keen to stay ahead of the competition. While the company has not announced any new game mechanics, they have confirmed that it will continue to work on the game, as well as expand the roster of playable characters. While the game currently only offers two major cities, the developer has promised to add more characters, new side missions, and a third city.
The Xbox Series X is expected to be the flagship console of the next-gen Xbox. After years of teasing its imminent release, the Xbox Series X is set to be the best console in the market. With eight Zen 2 CPU cores and an AMD RDNA 2 graphics processor with 12 TFLOPS of performance, the console will also feature a 1TB solid-state drive for storage. The Xbox will be able to support 4K gaming at 60 or 120 FPS.
MiHoYo’s plans to bring Genshin Impact to Nintendo Switch
The game’s success has been attributed to its Chinese roots, but it is also gaining popularity across the globe. MiHoYo, the creator of ‘Shin’, first announced it back in January of 2019. Since then, it has been released on a handful of platforms. The game, which is set in the mystical world of Teyvat, lets players choose from four different characters who each use a variety of magical attacks and moves. In general, the game is played by a single player, though there is an option to play the game with a party of up to four people.
Despite the many questions surrounding the game’s future, fans can rest assured that MiHoYo has been working on it ever since it was announced. The development of the Switch version began at the same time as the PlayStation, PC, and mobile versions. In the meantime, MiHoYo is still working on a Nintendo Switch port of the game, but there has been no official confirmation from the developer.
A lot of the concerns that fans have about Genshin Impact’s Switch release date can be attributed to the game’s microtransactions. The game’s developers haven’t provided concrete reasons for the delay, but there are several valid explanations. Several leakers suggest that the game could be delayed due to issues connecting purchasable items to the Nintendo eShop.
