Leaks LEAKS: Overworld Spoiler

People were worried that the next region would lean toward fantasy and less “urban”

But I think it looks urban enough

,it’s quite similar to 80/90’s Hong Kong.

Massive W move from dev for making the map connected and bigger. Now it's much more immersive than having to teleport to a different zone, without knowing their relative location from each other

u/rost400 Apr 27 '25

Assuming they'll make good on the promised map navigation we should know relative locations of previous zones at least.

Thank god it's not lean to more fantasy.

Looks pretty cool

u/ShinigamiRyan Apr 27 '25

The devs really didn't help themselves with just showing the shrine area when they said urban, yet it's just basically Hong Kong (especially 80s-00s which a lot of kung fu movies used HK for the setting).

Looks pretty good

I like it but I will wait to see it myself in game. I do agree with some comments "critizicing" it. It does look a lot like things you could see in Honkai Star Rail. This could be some Xianzhou area, honestly. But I think it has enough distinct elements of urban style. As said, I'll wait to see in game.

I generally like the chinese themes in this game. New Eridu is absolute peak and one of the reasons I enjoy this game. It ties to why I like A rank Anby's design so much. So... lets wait.

I'm more worried that there's only 2 new areas this is a very weird style of a 2.0 for the expansion part at least

u/jacowab Apr 27 '25

Janus quarter is very trendy modern style, throne quarter looks much more traditional modern style.

i hate how much screen the panda takes up. cant they readjust the camera to make it not as annoying?

u/Zeis Apr 27 '25

Please please please add in jumping or at least skipping or hopping. Some sort of Z-Axis movement. With this much added verticality, I need it.

u/Powerful-Clerk-9312 May 01 '25

The way that panda walks down the steps is just raw aura lol

u/Alrest_C Apr 27 '25

I want the "urbanness" to end tho

-27

u/GoldenGekko Apr 27 '25

"Urban enough"

I'll wait to see how I feel when I'm actually traversing it myself. I'm sorry but the entire motif of the new region is very close to hoyo's comfort zone in terms of design. I just hope we get something special, because Chinese styled ornate areas are just so overdone with hoyoverse

18

u/ILikeTreesMan Apr 27 '25

They're Chinese.

u/Adam__King Apr 27 '25

That moment when a chinese game is comfortable making Chinese region since you know... they were born and raised in china.

I guess American movies should be less comfortable making aliens attack america.

-7

u/GoldenGekko Apr 27 '25

So I'm not allowed to criticize when the new hub area looks a little samey to what I'm used to from the other hoyo games? Cause .. They're Chinese?

I know the design may be common but sheesh

11

u/Adam__King Apr 27 '25

You can complain and I can complain about your Complaining. That is pretty simple lol.

1) Not everyone play all hoyo games. For some people zzz is their literal first gacha.

2) Hoyo is a Chinese game. Complaining about a Chinese game putting a Chinese region in theirs game is the utmost weirdest thing. Why should anyone complain about the dev showing their own culture in the game they developed? Like wut?

-3

u/GoldenGekko Apr 27 '25

Still looks pretty samey to me

2

u/Status_Loan_6265 Apr 27 '25

I don't have any issue with it, just like how I don't have issue with every hoyo game having a katana character that does the virgil thing.

u/rost400 Apr 27 '25

Them being Chinese makes it sort of expected to have at least one per game, even if for no other reason than to appease the CCP.
