I really doubt it, Unreal Engine is a pretty good graphic system but Unity just fits Genshin's design better, same for Honkai. I don't see why they'll change it, at least in my opinion.

If they ever change the engine, it’s going to have to be planned for well in advance. Porting any game, let alone one as massive as Genshin, from one engine to another is expensive and time-consuming and I can’t imagine an ongoing game with frequent updates doing that. Even if Hoyoverse had to pay some sort of additional fee to keep using Unity, it would hardly make a dent in their profits anyway. EDIT: The more I read about it, the more egregious it is. I would be seriously concerned if I was Hoyoverse.

If they do theyre entire mobile player fanbase will be reduced to dust

People forget that having good and detailed graphics doesn't mean everything, immersion is also a good factor. Which is why the graphics for genshin are already good, because they're good but not overly realistic as this is a fantasy game.

[gachagodnot]

It has a chance to happen but the differences is going to be very minor in my opinion, the Mihoyo developers really care about the original artstyle of the game so a complete change seems unrealistic.

[Soshiaircon]

Apparently Miihoyo seems to be not affected as Mihoyo is using a modified version of Unity and Mihoyo is actually a stockholder of CN Unity branch. So most likely zero impact to Mihoyo. Lol

[DreamyAileen]

I highly doubt Mihoyo will move the entire game to Unreal, since to do that they'd have to basically halt all content updates on the game for like 2 years. I think what's more likely is that Mihoyo will start mounting ungodly pressure on Unity to reassess their new policies, as Mihoyo is presently one of Unity's biggest users

[bullgator]

I feel like some people forget just because its Unreal doesn't mean the game will look hyper realistic if shaders are ported/redone to match Unity's.
I think its unlikely they'll port to Unreal simply because of the cost and time and what not even though UE can perform slightly better than Unity.

[koshak]

they can still do their own engine similar to unity i guess
they did one before

[hgzj]

just guess, Unity = 40GB Phone Storage while
Unreal Engine = 70GB Phone Storage ^_^

[FoundaPeanut]

It’s unfortunate that they won’t, it would be an absolutely amazing message to send to the vultures sitting in CEO chairs at unity.

[aoitakumi]

Genshin, honkai and any mihoyo games is safe. Mihoyo is one of the stockholders of CN Unity. The biggest hit would be to small developers

[bruhi]

Why do people want games to be so damn realistic we play games to avoid reality

[pepita]

I prefer the current look. It's more stylized, and cartoony.
It will always age better than the games that try to look realistic.

my soul just died when i saw genshin would look like in Unreal engine

[lynxesexe]

From what I know one of the advantages of Unity is that it's easier to custom or have two different rendering pipelines. (I believe Genshin uses a rendering pipelines for characters and one for the rest), in Unreal I don't think you can have 2 different pipelines, I think that you can overwrite the single rendering pipeline present though.

If this it's true it'll be hard to recreate this very same already existing image on Unreal, and it'd be a shame, Genshin look really nice, it's not exactly the type of game that would benefit from a more realistic look.

[ReimPrimo]

I just want them to be able to at the very least, change the character dialogue animations a bit more, but alas, if what I’ve heard is correct. It would take extensive time to remake every character model and their rigging for that, I guess the stiff camera and expressions are just inherent

[HexaDecimus]

perhaps they'll make future games with other engines for the sake of variety

[VinaykGc]

If genshin switch to unreal Engine mobile phones

[yqisq]

UE would not be good for Genshin. It's better suited for photorealism....
