Could HoYoverse’s next game be an Animal Crossing clone?

Leaks suggest that HoYoverse are working on a casual life sim game similar to Animal Crossing New Horizons.

Rumors have been swirling for quite some time that HoYoverse’s (Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail) next game could be a casual life sim, and new leaks seem to support that. The videos of gameplay show two chibi-style characters with very Genshin vibes running around a world that is extremely reminiscent of Animal Crossing: New Horizon. As a caveat to the videos, the leaker has stated in a post on X(translated from Spanish by Google) that “the gameplay is a very early alpha, obviously it will look much better once the official beta is released and they start promoting the game.”
