Recent reports indicate that Varsapura, a new game led by Mihoyo founder Cai Haoyu, is set for release. The title translates to “City of Rain.” Published by Mihoyo's Singapore-based subsidiary Cognosphere Pte., Ltd., the game's core gameplay mechanics and scale remain undisclosed. However, its narrative is likely set in a highly advanced futuristic Singapore. The game's central innovation lies in integrating generative AI into its gameplay, with certain features potentially resembling elements from Cai Haoyu's Anuttacon studio.
The game's core mechanics and scale remain undisclosed, though its narrative is likely set in a highly advanced futuristic Singapore. Its central innovation lies in integrating generative AI into gameplay, potentially resembling elements from Whispers from the Star—the debut title from Cai's studio Anuttacon.
It's important to note that this game may target the global market, with its development team based overseas. Operating it within China would require going through the import game approval process. So, for a game where the CEO is a major shareholder of a renowned Chinese game company, and the majority of employees are Chinese, but the development and operational bases are established abroad—does it truly qualify as a Chinese company?
