Genshin Impact Wants to Be the Only Game You Ever Play on PS5
Major new mode will massively expand array of experiences
Weâve already seen the likes of Fortnite and Roblox embrace community created content, but now itâs the turn of Genshin Impact to take strides towards becoming the ultimate âforeverâ game.
While the new update, out on 22nd October, brings substantial new quests to the ongoing Nod-Krai storyline â and a new character in the form of Nefer â itâs the new mode Miliastra Wonderland thatâs the biggest headline.
So, what exactly is it? Well, itâs being pitched as a magical realm separate from the main campaign where youâll be able to engage with minigames, challenges, simulations, and more created by the community.
HoYoverse is offering creators royalties to create great content, so thereâs actually incentive to learn its editor tools and get to grips with how it all works. You can add achievements, ranking systems, leaderboards and more to anything you do design.
Meanwhile, the whole mode will be presented through a new âblank canvasâ style character named a Manekin, which youâll be able to use both in the Miliastra Wonderland and Teyvat.
Youâll be able to completely customise the look of your Manekin through paid and unpaid methods, with clothing sets and accessories being the primary monetisation method for this mode. It looks extremely in-depth.
Itâs going to be interesting to see how this mode evolves, because thereâs already so much to Genshin Impact that itâs hard to fathom how this entire new pillar will fit in. But we must admit, we are looking forward to seeing just how fleshed out and compelling the first batch of community creations are.
How do you feel about these UGC modes in major games? Do you find yourself plunging the depths of, say, Fortnite? Or are you only really interested in the professionally created content available? Let us know below.
