But the problem is, it's not something you can just acquire whenever you want... It mainly depends on whether the other party is willing to sell, right?
Seeing that Sangxing Group completely ignored them, the players changed the target of their messages.
This time, the person tagged... was a game company...
To their surprise, the game company actually responded to these players.
They also stated that they are already developing a two-dimensional open-world game.
Korean players were immediately excited upon receiving this news.
As if they had been holding their breath for a long time and finally had an outlet, they quickly spread the news on YouTube.
I thought this would make players from other countries envious.
But... in the end, all I received was ridicule...
Players from Japan, in particular, delivered incredibly hurtful taunts.
Even an average 26-year-old gamer can see the money-making power of Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3.
How could those major game companies possibly remain indifferent?
Since Genshin Impact became a huge hit, all game companies worldwide have been paying attention to miHoYo.
It's not just players in South Korea who are making Genshin Impact-like games. There are tons of people all over the world making Genshin Impact-like games, okay?
That's right, Genshin Impact has been categorized into its own separate genre in this world.
Anime/manga style, 3D rendering in 2D, open exploration.
Any game that contains these three elements is collectively referred to as a "Genshin Impact-like" game.
Unfortunately, the game industry in this world is too underdeveloped.
The release of Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd has brought many surprises to gamers.
Whether it's the story-driven "Honkai Impact 3," the open-world "Genshin Impact," or a free-to-play game that has switched to a gacha-based monetization model...
It is thanks to these innovations that Genshin Impact was ultimately awarded such an honor.
Therefore, even if the Koreans successfully develop a two-dimensional open-world game, it will always be trampled underfoot by miHoYo.
There is even a risk of being labeled as a plagiarist.
The only way to break through the encirclement is to surpass Genshin Impact.
But surpassing it is easier said than done...
Even if South Korea does come up with a more novel way to play the game, the money and time required for its development would be enormous.
Don't expect to see results in less than three to five years.
And how could miHoYo not have made progress in the past three to five years?
Honkai Impact 3rd is currently considered an unsurpassable game.
Less than six months later, Genshin Impact was put on the interview again.
Each of these activities could be made into a standalone game.
This gives you an idea of just how terrifying miHoYo's creative abilities are.
Moreover! miHoYo has another trump card—
eden.
Even if South Korea does create a game comparable to Genshin Impact, what would you do if miHoYo added Eden character cards to Genshin Impact?
so.
In the future, miHoYo will be the only company to dominate the Genshin Impact-like game market.
Other manufacturers, at best, can only achieve popularity within their own country, and players can only enjoy their own niche.
If you want to become as popular as Genshin Impact, you have to start from other genres or completely abandon the shadow of Genshin Impact and create a completely new anime-style open-world game.
This is also why other countries feel disdain for South Korea's inexplicable excitement.
……
When South Korean players saw these explanations, they were immediately taken aback.
They berated these people for lacking ambition and expressed their faith in their country's game developers.
Some South Korean gamers are also trying their best to explain how excellent their country's game developers are.
However, at this moment, an incredibly explosive piece of news suddenly emerged, attracting the attention of countless people.
The message originated from a 30-second video.
This video is, of course, a duet by Eden and Alicia.
The current trending topics are—
#EdenNewSong# (Breaking News)
#Aponia/Gresh# (Breaking News)
#Inazuma# (Breaking News)
#MiHoYoStudio# (On Fire)
……
News related to miHoYo and Eden has dominated the trending topics on almost every website, both domestically and internationally.
Even the content of the newly released "Inazuma" version of Genshin Impact was suppressed.
As for the new game from South Korea... it has long been forgotten.
There's no way around it; the information revealed in this 30-second video is simply too immense.
Meanwhile, Eden's Weibo post was also incredibly lively.
Most of the comments were asking when her new song would be released.
Unfortunately, Eden has not responded.
However, the topic of this song has never faded away.
It wasn't until several days later that Eden finally updated his Weibo.

As the stars and moon fall, they weave a tender fairy tale.
The earth is bountiful, nurturing newly sprouted buds.
A flawless maiden walks through the human world, taking in all the beauty of humanity.
The true hero dances in the end times, embodying love and kindness to the very end.
Humanity's healers transform into new seeds, blossoming into flowers of humanity on delicate branches.
That flower is called—Alicia…
Now, the end is near; now, the time to return has come.
Let us bid farewell now, beautiful world...
And you, with your noble and pure soul~
You will make the songs that no one sings anymore sung again.
You will write a new chapter in the stories that have been buried in history.
May a constellation of stars shine brightly from now on.
May all flowers bloom from now on!
The theme song "TruE" for Chapter 31 of the main story of Honkai Impact 3rd – "The Story Because of You" – has been released on the music website.

This Weibo post caused an immediate frenzy among countless people.
Players have been eagerly anticipating the release of Kiana's 30-second singing recording a few days ago.
I thought it would be more than half a month before there would be any follow-up news, but unexpectedly, only a few days later, Eden released a new song.
and……
This song is also the theme song for the new main storyline of Honkai Impact 3rd!!
After all, the entire text above Eden explicitly mentions "Herrscher" and "Alicia".
This has greatly excited players who started playing Honkai Impact 3rd because of Eden.
Veteran players also realized what was happening at this point.
The story of 【Paradise of the Past】 will probably end in the next update...
Looking back, each major chapter of Honkai Impact 3rd ended with a theme song and an animated short film.
And the effect of these short films, combined with music and storytelling... has never disappointed!
