Recent buzz in the Genshin Impact community suggests that players might soon be diving into a new dimension of gameplay with the potential introduction of an Auto Chess mode. This exciting leak indicates that the developers at HoYoverse are once again experimenting with fresh gameplay experiences to keep the action RPG vibrant. Over its four-plus years of captivating players, Genshin Impact has introduced a variety of game modes—from tower defense challenges to captivating rhythm and card games like Genius Invokation TCG. The addition of Auto Chess appears to be the latest endeavor set to enhance the gaming experience in Teyvat.
Auto Chess surged in popularity back in the late 2010s, branching out from a humble mod created for Dota 2. The innovative mode quickly evolved into a genre of its own, inspiring adaptations in games like Starcraft and League of Legends, with Riot Games seeing significant success through Teamfight Tactics. With Genshin Impact reportedly preparing to join these ranks, players can anticipate a unique twist on the beloved format.
In a recent update, HoYoverse insider HomDGCat unveiled tantalizing details about the forthcoming Auto Chess mode. This mode will reportedly blend PvP and PvE gameplay, weaving elements of exploration and combat. Players will be able to gather equipment and Artifacts, enhancing their capabilities. An interesting feature of selling equipment for currency to boost character Talents is also hinted at. Although a firm release date remains elusive, fans can expect this addition to roll out sometime after Version 5.6.
This potential Genshin Impact feature underscores the game’s trend of borrowing from popular games to enrich its offerings. HoYoverse has previously adapted game modes like Windtrace, echoing the essence of Prop Hunt. Some of these have been so well-received that they’ve been permanently integrated, like the rhythmic mini-game that stole fans’ hearts. It remains to be seen if Auto Chess will be a lasting fixture or a limited-time event.
While players eagerly await the possible arrival of Auto Chess, there’s plenty to look forward to with the upcoming Version 5.5. New characters, Varesa and Iansan, are set to expand the roster. Additionally, the Great Volcano of Tollan will become a new point of interest within Natlan, introducing the sixth explorable region. This array of updates ensures that Genshin Impact continues to captivate and engage its vast audience.
