HoYoverse's upcoming free-to-play action RPG Nodusfall impressed at Gamescom with satisfying combat and standout boss design that moves beyond its Elden Ring visual comparisons. The co-op focused preview revealed mythology-inspired enemies, a generous stamina system, and character progression without gacha banners.
Indie developer Michal Kamm accuses Hoyoverse of copying his puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero's minigame, citing striking similarities in gameplay mechanics and design elements. Ouros, released in 2024 to very positive Steam reviews, features track manipulation with a moving ball and numbered targets. The accusation is the latest in a string of copying allegations against Hoyoverse.
