HoYoverse Shifts Focus to AI as Zenless Zone Zero Falls Short of Expectations

Following the immense success of Genshin Impact, the studio HoYoverse has launched two more titles: Honkai: Star Rail in 2023 and Zenless Zone Zero set to release in 2024. Collectively, these three games have generated over $8.4 billion just from mobile platforms. However, recently, the situation for HoYoverse games has become concerning, and according to reports from Bloomberg, the anticipated Zenless Zone Zero has ultimately failed to meet the company’s expectations.

Here are the key points from the article:

Regarding HoYoverse‘s recent announcements, last week the developers unveiled a teaser for an unnamed game that resembles a title from the Pokémon franchise. Given the current situation with the creators of Palworld, if HoYoverse is not careful, the legal team from Nintendo may soon take interest in their upcoming project from China.
