Story Highlights

  • HoYoverse files a new trademark under the name “Varsapura” in Europe.
  • Fans speculate it could be tied to AI gaming.
  • This follows a string of ambitious projects from HoYoverse, including Nexus Anima and Project Shanghai.

It appears that HoYoverse could be developing something groundbreaking, as they’ve recently registered a new trademark named “Varsapura,” which is associated with the creator of Genshin Impact. With a few details surfacing, fans can’t help but speculate about what this might mean for their favorite game.

Social media pages for Varsapura have also quietly appeared

At present, we have limited information, but it’s worth noting that the trademark has been registered in Europe (EU). The subsequent establishment of social media accounts on platforms X and Facebook, both under the same name, hints that this could potentially be their upcoming significant production.

Lately, an agent from HoYoverse (Cognosphere) has filed for the trademark “Varsapura”. Simultaneously, it’s been popping up across various social media platforms. Interestingly, Varsapura aligns with Whispers from the Stars, a game conceived by Cai Hao Yu, that leverages an interactive LLM-AI model for gaming.

It’s intriguing to note that this fresh page seems to be inspired by “Whispers from the Star” on X, an under-the-radar AI-driven game. This game employs Large Language Models (LLMs) to deliver immersive interactive sessions. The similarity between them has fueled rumors that Varsapura could pioneer HoYoverse’s venture into AI-guided storytelling.

Though the specifics about the genre and play style are yet to be revealed, HoYoverse has previously shown a willingness to take risks in innovation. For instance, they recently introduced Honkai: Nexus Anima, an urban fantasy game under the Honkai brand that features auto-battle mechanics.

Additionally, they’re working on a project called “Project Shanghai,” which is reportedly an open-world game that could surpass Genshin Impact in ambition. Based on what I’ve heard, this game might be one of several major upcoming projects, including a survival game set in space with AI integration.

In my imagination, Varsapura could be the name of an extraterrestrial planet, with the main action occurring in a far-off, eerily alien environment. For now, we’re left to ponder the possibilities; additional details will emerge as the project progresses.
