Title: UE5 Urban Open World
Tags: Modern Urban, Open World, Stylized Rendering, Multi-Storyline, PBR, UE5, RPG, True Romance Simulation, Highly Freeform Human-Centered Sandbox, AAA Cinematic, Next-Gen Console Platform.
Goal: A brand-new urban world delivering a cinematic immersive experience.
miHoYo's next flagship title.
Additional info: Originally known as Project SH, development began in 2020. The project was rebooted at the end of 2022, meaning it has already been in production for two and a half years. The reason they chose to reboot the project in 2022 was that it failed to meet expectations. If their next-generation title couldn't surpass competitors by an entire generation, they wouldn't release it. But if they manage to widen the gap, it would mean securing victory for the next five years.
Recruitment Information:
- An immersive UI that never disrupts gameplay or narrative flow—realistic yet light, stylized yet not anime‑like.
- The final barrier between quantity and quality: pursuing the ultimate state of player “flow” and a film‑level sense of immersion.
- Emphasis on realistic model texture and detail—become a full‑pipeline artist for intimate‑scale scenes.
- High‑quality, cinematic artistic expression—be a subtle & elegant master of visual control.
- Take part in every phase of a next‑generation Unreal Engine open‑world project, from design to launch, using leading‑edge testing tech to guarantee overall quality.
- Uncover the design aesthetics that unite art and machinery, holding a philosophy where function and form coexist—especially in vehicle design.
- Forge a character’s impression through hit‑reaction feedback, freeze their personality along the skill‑cooldown timeline, and carve out heroic highlights amid the 0‑1 binary torrent of every battle.
- Silky‑smooth motion cues and interaction feedback; art × tech, balancing creativity with performance.
- Under stylized forms, strive for natural realism; within real‑world references, refine stylized charm.
- Become a “hexagonal warrior” who combines hyper‑realistic sculpting fundamentals, tasteful stylized aesthetics, and deep anime‑character insight.
- Skilled in rigging, understanding organic structure, and passionate about human anatomy.
- Dive deep into tech, reach new 3C heights, master UE and MotionBuilder, and explain a solution in three sentences.
- Reinvent game‑production pipelines with algorithms plus creativity.
- Possess keen, sensitive eyes and rigorous, rational thinking—be the lighting sorcerer who challenges stylized AAA.

- Let functionality and creativity coexist: within a rigorous tech framework, grant “breathing” freedom to level design. Use space × story to evoke emotion, weave plot × mechanics to shape flow, and merge gameplay × visuals to yield immersive experiences.
- Pursue physically correct visuals, draw inspiration from reality, and realize art effects through technical insight.
- Materialize abstract ideas with physically correct logic and presentation—no light pollution (VFX).
