The biggest rival of Genshin Impact will stop being a gacha to continue competing with the HoYoverse game

In an unexpected move, Tower of Fantasy has launched its new special server, the Warp Server, on November 25, seeking to revitalize a title that has faced a notable decline in its popularity. This server marks a significant change by stripping away the gacha mechanics that have been a key element of the game since its launch. Instead of relying on chance to acquire characters and weapons, players will now be able to obtain them through a direct farming system, reminiscent of traditional MMOs.

In an unexpected move, Tower of Fantasy has launched its new special server, the Warp Server, on November 25, seeking to revitalize a title that has faced a notable decline in its popularity. This server marks a significant change by stripping away the gacha mechanics that have been a key element of the game since its launch. Instead of relying on chance to acquire characters and weapons, players will now be able to obtain them through a direct farming system, reminiscent of traditional MMOs.

Things are not going well at Hotta Studio

Hotta Studio, the game’s developer, describes this initiative as “a revolution within the game,” emphasizing a focus on classic progression and a deeper economic system. The Warp Server will implement a user-to-user buying and selling system and auctions, allowing for greater trade and social interaction, unlike the monetized model present in the base game.

One of the most striking features of the Warp Server is its seasonal structure, which promises to regularly refresh the content and the available gear, introducing a system of reverse ‘item level creep’. This means that, instead of a gradual increase in gear power with each expansion, the stats could reset at the beginning of each season, introducing an element of strategy and planning for players.

This release comes in a complicated context for Tower of Fantasy, especially after the transition of publisher from Tencent to Perfect World. This situation has led to the deletion of player accounts that did not migrate in time, resulting in a significant increase in negative reviews from the community. The lack of communication from the studio has exacerbated these problems.

It remains to be seen whether the Warp Server will be able to attract both new players and those who have distanced themselves due to recent circumstances. Hoping to offer a more balanced and personalized experience, this new server could be the key to the revitalization that Tower of Fantasy has been seeking.

HoYoverse has announced a new game and it seems like the perfect mix between Control, Resident Evil 2, and GTA

HoYoverse, the developer known for its successful game Genshin Impact, has announced its third project titled Varsapura, marking its foray into a notably different style of gameplay. This new title, which is developed in Unreal Engine, moves away from the typical anime aesthetic of the studio, opting for a more realistic and urban setting.

A game with obvious influences

In Varsapura, players will take on the role of a protagonist who arrives by car at a police station, similar to that of Resident Evil 2 or Control, to become an agent. In this environment, they will have to face a supernatural force known as ‘mindrot’, which erodes reality and brings to life threatening monsters. This starting point establishes a context that merges horror elements with the action and stealth gameplay that has characterized HoYoverse.

The gameplay, presented in a 31-minute video, shows mechanics such as driving a police vehicle in an open world, highlighting aspects like the destructibility of the environment and the possibility of using ‘nitro’ to accelerate. The combination of stealth and action phases creates an experience that recalls the dynamic gameplay of Genshin Impact, but with a darker and more visceral focus.

HoYoverse is using this development not only to assess the public’s reception to this style change but also as part of a recruitment campaign. About 40 vacancies have been published in the development team, including positions for concept artists and mission designers. The number of vacancies suggests that Varsapura will require an extensive development process before its launch, which does not seem to be imminent.

With Varsapura, HoYoverse seeks to strengthen its position as one of the most prolific developers in the industry, exploring new creative directions while maintaining the essence that has established them in the world of video games.

Millions of PS4 users will not be able to play this RPG starting next year

Although there is still more than half a year left, it is better to give advance notice: April 8, 2026, will mark an important milestone in the history of Genshin Impact, as the popular action RPG and open-world game developed by HoYoverse will no longer be playable on PS4. This decision will affect more than 40 million active users of the console, who will not be able to access the title or receive updates after that date.

Although there is still more than half a year left, it is better to give advance notice: April 8, 2026, will mark an important milestone in the history of Genshin Impact, as the popular action RPG and open-world game developed by HoYoverse will no longer be playable on PS4. This decision will affect more than 40 million active users of the console, who will not be able to access the title or receive updates after that date. The company has justified this change due to performance limitations, the size of the application, and various technical barriers that have made it unsustainable to maintain the game on Sony’s previous generation platform.

Committing to take the step to the new generation

As part of this process, support withdrawal will begin on September 10, 2025, when Genshin Impact will no longer be available for download on the PS Store. Additionally, on February 25, 2026, all extra content, including DLCs and downloadable items, will be removed. However, players will be able to access the content they purchased until those dates until the final closure of the game on PS4.

HoYoverse has indicated that users with shared accounts will be able to continue their progress from compatible platforms such as PS5, PC, or mobile devices. However, it is important to highlight that items purchased in the PS Store that have not been claimed must be retrieved from a PS5. This condition reinforces the need for players to migrate to new platforms as soon as possible.

Since its launch, Genshin Impact has generated over a billion dollars annually and has revolutionized the video game market, setting a trend towards the transition to new generations of consoles. The decision to discontinue support on PS4 reflects the reality of the industry, where more and more developers are choosing to focus on next-generation platforms. With time running out, PS4 users still have a window to say goodbye to the title that has left an indelible mark on the gaming world.

HoYoverse cannot let a week pass without some news. It would be uncharacteristic of them. With four games in their portfolio, they have the leeway to do so without any problems. There is always something to announce, a new patch or a new character, to keep players attentive. That’s why it shouldn’t surprise us that they have promised the new patch for Zenless Zone Zero will be substantial. The strange thing would be if it weren’t.

Patch 1.4 of Zenless Zone Zero is already on the horizon. Named A Storm of Shooting Stars, the most interesting part is that it will give us the end of the current chapter of the game. Laying the groundwork for the fifth chapter of the game, the conspiracy around the Vision and Sacrifice Corporation increases, while the plot’s weight is placed on new agents of Section 6. Because we wouldn’t be talking about a new patch without new characters.

With patch 1.4, two new characters will arrive. On one hand, we have Hoshimi Miyabi, who uses her Freezing Anomaly powers to execute attacks that are as powerful as they are graceful. On the other hand, we have Asaba Harumasa, who uses his electrical powers to create attack combinations, switching from his bow to his sword. But also, you won’t miss out on this interesting character even if you’re not lucky. Because Harumasa can be redeemed for free once Version 1.4 is released.

Not only will there be new characters, but also new content

In the same way, there will be a series of changes in the game. This includes a new game mode, called Hollow Zero: Shadows Lost, and a new periodic operation, Deadly Assault. In addition to that, the patch will include new equipment, items, and events, as is the case with every major game patch.

If you are eager to play this new version of the game, you will still have to wait a little over a week. Version 1.4 of Zenless Zone Zero will arrive on Android and iOS on December 18. The game can be downloaded both on the App Store and on Google Play, depending on your preferred device.

HoYoVerse never stops. When they’re not shutting down their social networks, they introduce their new Genshin Impact character. Which has been the case today. Because a new Genshin Impact update is coming, and that means a new character is arriving with it. Which, moreover, you won’t want to miss.

Chasca is a peacemaker introduced to us in a trailer that showcases her main attributes: brute strength, drinking alcohol, and arguing to get out of any situation. All of this is shown through multiple scenes displaying her animations, allowing us to see her unique method of movement, which will delight players.

As a new 5-star DPS, Chasca will not be easy to obtain. However, it will surely be worth it. And it will be available starting from version 5.2 of the game, which is released today.

It’s not the only thing coming out today for Genshin Impact

What is also being released today is the version for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One of Genshin Impact, so that it is possible to play the game on all platforms available in the market. Similarly, you can also enjoy the game on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, iOS, and Android.

Honkai Impact 3rd receives the version 7.8 patch, and with it, a new character and a new story

HoYoverse didn’t start as a behemoth that turns everything it touches into gold. Initially, it was a company with great potential that made interesting games that didn’t seem to take off with the general public. That’s why it’s important to remember their games before Genshin Impact. Because they still work very well and because without them, we wouldn’t have everything that has come after. That’s why, and because Honkai Impact 3rd is going to receive its version 7.8 patch, where they promise things are going to heat up quite a bit.

HoYoverse did not start as a behemoth that turns everything it touches into gold. Initially, it was a company with great potential that made interesting games that didn’t seem to take off with the general public. That’s why it’s important to remember their games before Genshin Impact. Because they still work very well and without them, we wouldn’t have everything that has come after today.

That’s why, and because Honkai Impact 3rd is going to receive its version 7.8 patch, where they promise things are going to heat up quite a bit. The major addition is a new character, Lone Planetfarer, an electric damage DPS who can switch between two forms, Lone Traveler and Planet Quake, depending on your strategy. A perfect inclusion for the game, adding her mechs to the battlefield.

In turn, this patch will add a new branch to the game’s story. Called The First and Last War, we will follow Dreamseeker, Helia, and Coralie through time in an ancient Langqiu. Additionally, if we complete the content of this story, we will receive numerous extra benefits for doing so.

The version 7.8 patch will be released on October 17th and will serve as an appetizer for the crossover it will have with Honkai: Star Rail, named Honkai Impact 3rd x Honkai: Star Rail, which will take place on November 28th. Honkai Impact 3rd is available for iOS on the App Store and for Android on Google Play.

Honkai Impact 3rd DOWNLOAD

Honkai Impact 3 is a free-to-play, 3D action-RPG game that immerses you in dangerous conflict against otherworldly monsters. Developed by miHoYo and originally released in 2016, Honkai Impact 3 or Honkai Impact 3rd is the third installment of the Honkai Gakuen series, recycling most of the old characters in a new and separate story.

The president of HoYoverse claims that they feel useless in emotional speech to fans

HoYoverse is a company that never fails. Even their less celebrated games, like Honkai Impact 3rd, have had a great impact on the studio’s subsequent development. In addition, they have a loyal following from a small population of the video game world. That’s why their success is not surprising. Even when they don’t manage to hit the right notes, they still have a passionate audience behind them. Something that their president is aware of.

According to Liu Wei, president of HoYoverse, at a recent event to present the 5.0 update of Genshin Impact, there have been times when players have made them feel useless. They have experienced great anxiety and confusion, and there have been moments when they have received so much feedback that they were unable to know which direction to take. They have had to learn to distinguish the voice of true fans from those who simply want to cause harm or don’t know what they are saying.

That’s why, at the beginning of the year, when the team felt really lost, they decided to start traveling around the world and start talking to the players. Listening to them about how they felt about the game and why some of them had abandoned it. At that moment, and after that experience, they reached a consensus: everything could be changed in Genshin Impact, except the travel experience with its players.

That’s why there have been so many changes in the game in recent months, and why we should expect more. Because after getting out and interacting with the players and their emotions, the company has realized what is really important: the journey they share. It’s something that we will be able to verify with the release of patch 5.0 of Genshin Impact on August 28th.

The pre-registration for the new game from Genshin Impact company is now open

Zenless Zone Zero has already opened global pre-registration, allowing you to get extra rewards if you register before its launch.

HoyoVerse, the creators of Genshin Impact, never tire. Despite the success of their games, they are not satisfied, and that is why they have already announced the pre-registration opening for their new game: Zenless Zone Zero. A futuristic hack and slash game that will be released on July 4th for PC, PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android.

Previously, there was already a pre-registration campaign, but it was limited to certain regions; such as its closed beta. That’s why the game already has a more than generous number of pre-registered users. With 31 million people having registered their interest in playing Zenless Zone Zero, HoyoVerse aims to reach at least 40 million. This is evident considering that there are rewards for reaching certain milestones, which go up to 40 million pre-registered users.

So far, up to 30 million have been unlocked. These consist of 30,000 deniques, eight original tapes, and five ñañapón. If we surpass 35 million, all pre-registered players will receive Agent Corin. And if we surpass 40 million, twelve more original tapes.

These figures are staggering without context, but they are even more so when we know that the company’s previous game, Honkai Star Rail, reached 10 million pre-registrations. Therefore, if something is evident from now on, it is that Zenless Zone Zero is destined to be an absolute success.

It has not been released yet, but you have the opportunity to play the new game from the creators of Genshin Impact

Zenless Zone Zero has a new closed beta, where they hope to continue gathering feedback to polish the game before its release, it is expected soon.

Genshin Impact is one of the most popular games nowadays. Honkai: Star Rail has not achieved its levels of popularity, but it also performs well. That’s why it should not surprise us that HoYoverse takes all the time they need with each of their games. They want them to be a guaranteed success and meet the expectations of their players. Something you can take advantage of to play their next game before its release.

Zenless Zone Zero DOWNLOAD

Zenless Zone Zero is the upcoming game from HoYoverse, with no official release date yet. The game has already had two closed betas, one shortly after its announcement, during August 2022, and another between November and December 2023. And now it returns with a third official closed beta in which you can sign up on its official website. But be careful. You only have until March 23 to do so.

Although we don’t know much about Zenless Zone Zero, we know quite a bit thanks to its two closed betas. With an urban fantasy aesthetic and setting, it departs from the medieval fantasy style of Genshin Impact and the science fiction style of Honkai: Star Rail. With a gameplay loop closer to roguelite, in addition to gacha mechanics, it is a game more focused on combat. Although according to the impressions from the second closed beta, there is still work to be done in that regard.

As we have already mentioned, we do not have a release date for Zenless Zone Zero yet, but it is expected to be released sometime in 2024.
