Genshin Impact, the immensely popular game that took the gaming world by storm since its launch in 2020, experienced its lowest revenue figures in May. Several factors contribute to this decline, prompting us to delve deeper into the situation.

One significant reason for the May revenue drop could be the launch of Honkai Star Rail, a highly anticipated game from the same developers as Genshin Impact, HoYoverse. Despite Genshin’s popularity, Honkai Star Rail managed to double its revenue in May, showcasing its own impressive success.

The launch of Honkai Star Rail may have diverted some players’ attention away from Genshin Impact. The allure of a fresh and brand-new game experience could have led players to shift their focus temporarily. We observed a similar trend when Tower of Fantasy was released, with many players migrating from Genshin to explore the exciting new gacha game of the month.

While Tower of Fantasy couldn’t surpass Genshin’s dominance, Honkai Star Rail currently stands as one of its main competitors. Nevertheless, this scenario benefits HoYoverse, as both titles continue to generate substantial revenue.

Another contributing factor to Genshin Impact’s revenue decline could be players eagerly awaiting the release of the new area, Fontaine. Furthermore, the absence of new 5-star characters until version 4.0 prompts gacha enthusiasts to seek fresh content elsewhere while they patiently wait.

Honkai Star Rail’s captivating animations, engaging storyline, and lovable characters have captured the attention of players worldwide. It’s no surprise that the game rapidly gained popularity, especially considering HoYoverse’s expertise in crafting immersive experiences.

For now, Honkai Star Rail has managed to surpass Genshin Impact’s success. However, whether this trend will continue in the following months remains uncertain. The game is still in its honeymoon phase, enchanting players globally with its latest offering from HoYoverse. Nevertheless, Genshin Impact’s revolutionary impact on the gacha genre remains undeniable, ensuring a dedicated fanbase for years to come.
