Looks like BOTW. It's an online game for PC and I think I heard that it's coming to smartphone too

The beta test will begin late June

When you wrote looks like BOTW I thought it was an over exaggeration, but that freaking trailer goes from "neat" to BOTW then back to "neat" then back to BOTW every 15 seconds.

Wtf it really does look like BotW. The grass textures look like they could've been literally ripped from it lol. Even the trailer seems like it's trying to emulate some parts of the BotW trailers.

Signed up for the beta. I've heard good things about Honkai Impact, some of this is straight ripped from BOTW but the package as a whole is different, hopefully it is as fun as it looks!

I wonder how different the phone version will be. Pretty sure it won't be able to handle those graphics

It's scary how much this trailer looks like oon from botw, not just the game

It looks like a mod for botw with anime characters

From my little time (for a gacha game) with Honkai Impact 3rd, MiHoYo has got the combat in the bag. I just hope it's on console/PC.

Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

The beta survey asks for PC specs, and the beta FAQ mentions that no MacOS version is planned right now. So PC seems very likely at least. And even if it wasn't, Honkai works very well with emulators, so I'd imagine this would too.

The same survey also asks which consoles you own, so that's also a possibility.

I feel like I've seen all these characters before but in other properties. Either they are that generic or that anime is that filtered down at the moment lol.

Yep, that's an instant sign-up. I'm really tired of recent anime-styled MMORPGs having only a hub area with missions, I miss having an MMO with areas to explore.

Just straight up took the fire and grass from Zelda huh?

Even the standard enemies are just thinner bokoblins.

Still interested though.

Honkai Impact is awesome, this game definitely looks ambitious and great.

But wow, I laughed so hard throughout the trailer. Did they really had to do it.
Even the song pacing is straightup BOTW trailer ripoff.
Will definitely play the game, looks cool.

Awesome! I really liked Honkai Impact 3rd and this looks very unique.

I hope that there is some form of Cross play between PC and mobile.

When people said it was Zelda, they were saying the truth. Holy cow, so similar in many of it's parts. lol I'm suspecting that they literally modded it because it's identical in the forest, water and so on lol

Okay, I am to admit I am a immature bastard often, but I swear, watch this exact part of the trailer (0:54), keep an eye on that dragon and listen closely to the audio in the right channel.

That dragon is farting.

One of the "Four Winds" I assume.

First Bayonetta, now Zelda.

Going by the beta-signup survey, this game is 100% a pay-to-win gacha.
