Genshin Impact Creator Goes Dark with an RPG that Looks Part Elden Ring, Part Monster Hunter

The first trailer shows a darker visual style as players hunt enormous mythical beasts with divine powers.

  • During Gamescom Opening Night Live, HoYoverse revealed Nodus Fall, a new co-op action game set in a world consumed by chaos where players become Weavers using divine powers to hunt enormous mythical beasts.
  • Replacing the bright anime vibe of Genshin Impact, Nodus Fall marks a dramatic visual departure for the studio, featuring storms, ruins, and monstrous silhouettes instead of its signature colorful aesthetic.
  • Gameplay sections showing combat encounters with large beasts are reminiscent of Monster Hunter Wilds, where characters charge an enormous glowing blade while a hulking winged creature stalks the battlefield.
  • While HoYoverse has not provided a release date for the project, the brief trailer offers a glimpse at its ambitious world and leaves players eager for more information.
  • Other major announcements at the event included PUBG Studios presenting DED.NET and The Coalition releasing a new story trailer, showcasing diverse industry updates beyond HoYoverse's reveal.
