HoYoverse, the game developer behind titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, is recruiting employees with MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) experience for pre-research positions on a new Honkai IP series. This has sparked rumors about a potential MMORPG set in the Honkai universe.
HoYoverse is hiring for roles including Rendering Developer, Senior Engine Developer, Level Designer, and Gameplay Planner. Each position’s responsibilities suggest the development of a complex, multiplayer game.
The Rendering Developer will support and debug rendering features across multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, and consoles. They will develop graphics systems like terrain, water, and vegetation, and optimize multi-platform rendering performance.
The Senior Engine Developer will conduct business development and performance optimization for the game engine, catering to multi-platform integration and build requirements. The Level Designer will create game-level content, including plot development and scene art, ensuring an immersive experience.
The Gameplay Planner will design multiplayer and social-related gameplay systems, crucial components of an MMORPG. HoYoverse seeks experienced professionals from top game companies, with backgrounds in DAU (Daily Active Users) multiplayer games or MMOs like MOBA and PUBG.
The job listings hint that the new Honkai IP will be a cross-platform project for PCs, consoles, and mobile devices. However, HoYoverse has yet to officially announce any upcoming projects, and as these positions are for pre-research, it may be some time before fans receive concrete news.
