The post mentions that vehicles will be a monetization point in Varsapura, including planes, cars, drift cars, trucks, amphibious vehicles, and boats. This should be added as a feature.
Hello everyone. A while back, [I made a post summarizing the games miHoYo has in development](https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/1f9hz30/mihoyos_new_recruitment_information_showcases/). A year has passed now, and a lot has changed, so I decided to provide an update. I will list all the games miHoYo is currently working on. **Source:** Officially announced content by miHoYo and miHoYo job postings. **1. Honkai: Nexus Anima (Unity)** [Honkai: Nexus Anima ](https://preview.redd.it/ycv6lqhree6g1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3adf0155907081760fb7bfbc1f0b3ccd0241c508) * [Officially announced.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGfTS72aEOs) * Pokémon + CRPG. **2. Petit Planet (Unity)** [Petit Planet](https://preview.redd.it/10w6wcmwee6g1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f4b3f66e00b730bb6eec1a924e4f77af737718b) * [Officially announced.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Np2tScEj0) * Life simulation game. **3. Varsapura (UE5)** [Varsapura](https://preview.redd.it/h4ztgzpqle6g1.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fcc3f14683e5e8605fefd50fd634932d2d09fa61) [Varsapura](https://preview.redd.it/h6f8wjb4fe6g1.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=516cfb23f06fd964b9fff171f849930e1da6f447) [Liu Wei's post](https://preview.redd.it/ea4ui9ahwe6g1.jpg?width=1760&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cbc8e61ddf186a6662935dc962ade965ab92776f) * [Officially announced.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NccLyRQQZY) * miHoYo's next-generation flagship urban open-world game. * Led by Cai Haoyu (miHoYo founder and the original producer of *Genshin Impact* and *Honkai Impact 3rd*). * The original prototype, "pjsh," started development in 2020 but was scrapped and reworked multiple times; it started as an urban open-world shooter. * In late 2023, Cai Haoyu found inspiration and decided to develop Varsapure. * Aside from the recently released first gameplay demo, it is known that vehicles will be a monetization point (including planes, cars, drift cars, trucks, amphibious vehicles, and boats). * It features racing gameplay. Four years ago, miHoYo poached a complete team that used to work at Codemasters to handle the vehicle system (including physics, track and road design, vehicle AI, handling, and audio). They have worked on famous racing titles like the *Dirt* series, *Grid* series, and *F1* series. * AI NPCs will be a key focus of the project. * It will utilize massive-scale distributed cloud rendering technology to support the game running across different platforms. * Estimated release: 2027. **4. Photorealistic Fantasy Research Project (UE5)** [Photorealistic Fantasy Research Project](https://reddit.com/link/1pj7gxm/video/n8g72etgfe6g1/player) * [Official website](http://boss.mihoyo.com) * Development started in 2023. * The producer is an early miHoYo employee who participated in the initial development of *Honkai Impact 3rd*. * Insiders claim this game will **not** use a gacha system, artifact system, or character constellation system. * A scene preview has already been released (for recruitment purposes). * **Description:** * Enter a Vast Fantasy World * Ancient secrets, ferocious demons, legendary heroes… * Choose your own path, forge bonds with companions… * Rebuild the crumbling order, break the twisted covenant, and face the will of capricious gods. * Your journey to uncover the truth — that is your hero’s tale. * **Key Features:** * Epic Fantasy Open World * Massive BOSS Battles * Co-op Multiplayer * Competitive PvP * Intelligent NPCs * Next-Generation Animation Technology * Dynamic Open World * Ecological AI Simulation * Full-Terrain Combat AI * High Fidelity Powered by UE5 **5. Western cartoon style Hero Shooter (Unity)** [Hero Shooter](https://preview.redd.it/96bdye53ke6g1.png?width=2295&format=png&auto=webp&s=42a4f1f2a6c52d1ad9a2e4ed8904785a375abfe2) * **Keywords:** Western cartoon style, Shooting, Near Future, Fantasy, Multiplayer, PVE/PVP. * Rumored to be similar to *Splatoon* (unverified). **6. Social Sim (Unity)** [Social Sim](https://preview.redd.it/0oqyxhanfe6g1.jpg?width=695&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=34645d451700a703ba573f66bdbd9dc679b2f2a8) * **Keywords:** Making friends, multiculturalism, city life. **7. Ghibli-style Sandbox Game (UE5)** [Ghibli-style Sandbox Game](https://preview.redd.it/7gp2asngke6g1.jpg?width=2261&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e21e6925116bb1e5d2b4ed9cf5661aa50891323) * New recruitment for this game started this October. * Job requirements mention a love for the Ghibli art style, so it likely features a similar style. * Recruitment also mentions a preference for experience in dress-up game development. **8. Realistic Shooter (UE5)** [Realistic Shooter](https://preview.redd.it/gll4u3g3me6g1.jpg?width=1885&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5436d3c762819b1f8eeb4e5b41a3a11a9e2f1675) * In October, someone mentioned on a Chinese professional networking app that they applied for a realistic shooter by miHoYo. * Today (Dec 10), miHoYo officially posted this job opening. Setting: Modern/Near-modern city. * Also today, another PVP project tagged "Western stylized realism" was listed in recruitment, though it might be the same project as this shooter. **9. LinLi\_Olivia(UE5)** [LinLi\_Olivia](https://preview.redd.it/j1zlrd8sfe6g1.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72af0805a97b79aba7fd9a7e69e8fff37b8fad40) * Official Channel:[Secret | Hurry – time is listening](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZd2fBK7xHg) * Not a game. A virtual idol similar to [Lumi](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THPWm4O532M). * Lumi is a testbed for miHoYo's next-gen characters; LinLi likely has a similar positioning. * Several videos have been released, all related to playing the piano, demonstrating absolutely astonishing technical ability. * For instance, they released a total of 10 minutes of realistic piano animation in a short time—anyone who knows the tech understands how difficult it is to produce such precise piano playing animation. **10. AI Electronic Pet Product** [AI Electronic Pet Product](https://preview.redd.it/qja07862le6g1.jpg?width=1831&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0d615ca4d90d774c7ba59abec7276941af30d52) * Recruitment reveals they are developing an electronic pet product. * Involves cross-team collaboration driving industrial design, hardware, and AI algorithms. **11. HerSide/HisSide** [HerSide\/HisSide](https://preview.redd.it/93lnq3jdge6g1.jpg?width=2308&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb5bd50d628f29d5c87a48573336a1b8b6ffd47e) * [I introduced Anuttacon before;](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/1k9jvkm/dawei_explains_why_they_founded_the_ai_company/) this is a new project for which they have registered trademarks and [accounts ](https://x.com/hersideAI)on various platforms. No further info. **12. AnuNeko** [AnuNeko](https://preview.redd.it/lzoon0wale6g1.jpg?width=1145&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3bfb5bc33283bcf2912a0722ef1248c29829cf50) * An AI chat webpage currently in beta launched by [Anuttacon](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/1k9jvkm/dawei_explains_why_they_founded_the_ai_company/). * It might just be a platform for LLM training rather than a formal project. * Chinese miHoYo fans comment that its rhetoric is very sharp and it is fluent in internet troll speak. **13. HoYoverse NA Project** * A game with open choices, procedurally generated stories, and emergent gameplay initiated by HoYoverse NA in Jan 2024. * It was cut around early 2025 due to company restructuring. * However, since Kai Zheng (former Senior Level Designer for *God of War*) is still the Project Lead at HoYoverse NA, there should still be a project in the works. Unclear if it's one of the above or something else. **Other Tech in Development:** Besides these specific projects, they have a lot of technology in R&D: * Next-gen cloud-native rendering, aiming to redefine how high-fidelity games run on any device. Enabling high-end experiences to run on low-power devices via cloud computing. * Proprietary real-time super-resolution and frame interpolation algorithms based on machine learning and neural networks. * And so on... too many to list. **Note:** Projects in development may not always officially launch (though for miHoYo, projects that have started hiring have a high probability of launching). Please keep expectations rational.
