MiHoYo's New Trademarks Hint at Future Game Plans

MiHoYo, the creative force behind Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, has recently filed new trademarks, stirring excitement and speculation within the gaming community. The trademarks, filed in Chinese and translated by GamerBraves, are named Astaweave Haven and Hoshimi Haven. While the exact nature of these projects remains under wraps, there is buzz about Astaweave Haven potentially being a management simulation game.

It's crucial to understand that trademark filings often occur early in a game's development cycle. This strategic move allows developers to secure their intellectual property and avoid future complications that could arise if another party claims the trademark first. Therefore, these filings might simply represent early-stage concepts rather than imminent releases.

MiHoYo's portfolio is already impressive, featuring titles like Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and the upcoming Zenless Zone Zero, alongside a robust pre-Genshin lineup. Expanding into new genres could be a smart move for MiHoYo, aiming to diversify beyond their established gacha game success.

Whether these trademarks signify early plans or hint at soon-to-be-released games remains to be seen. As the gaming community eagerly awaits further details, there's no shortage of other exciting titles to explore.
