Genshin Impact Maker’s Nodusfall Sure Looks Like Multiplayer Elden Ring

HoYoverse revealed Nodusfall at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026, marking a significant departure for the company known for free-to-play anime gacha games like Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero. The upcoming title is a co-op action game developed in Unreal Engine 5 that blends elements of Elden Ring’s dark fantasy aesthetic with Monster Hunter’s gameplay structure.

In Nodusfall, players assume the roles of Weavers, heroes who must band together to battle mythic beings in a world where divine authority has crumbled and order has collapsed. According to the reveal, players will use divine power to “sunder the dread Nodus,” drawing inspiration from diverse mythologies. The trailer showcased various fantasy creatures and environments, including giant trolls forging at anvils, winged tigers summoning lightning, and other imposing adversaries.

The game emphasizes close coordination and sharp tactics, requiring players to work together to defeat powerful enemies. Rather than pursuing the vibrant, anime-focused aesthetic HoYoverse is known for, Nodusfall presents a darker, more grounded “realistic fantasy” setting. Specific details about gameplay mechanics, release date, and platform availability remain limited, though the game’s Monster Hunter influences suggest a focus on boss encounters and cooperative combat, positioning it as HoYoverse’s venture into the action game space beyond its established gacha gaming formula.
