Hoyoverse, developer of popular free-to-play games like Genshin Impact, has revealed its brand-new game. Nodus Fall was announced during Gamescom Opening Night Live as the studio’s next major title.

Hoyoverse Unveils New Game Nodus Fall
The heavily-rumored Hoyoverse game Nodus Fall was officially revealed during Gamescom 2026, looking like a drastic departure from the developer’s previous games. Unlike the bright anime-style aesthetics of Hoyoverse’s Genshin Impact, Zenless Zone Zero, and Honkai: Star Rail, Nodus Fall is almost like a blend of games like Elden Ring and Monster Hunter in its visuals. The game is confirmed to be a co-op action RPG developed in Unreal Engine 5, but no release date has been shared yet.
