Genshin Impact Developers miHoYo Reveal Closed Beta For Their Detective Romance Game Tears of Themis

If you’re a video game fan- and unless you’ve been living under a rock for a while- you’ve likely heard of the global phenomenon that is Genshin Impact, the free-to-play open-world RPG that took the world by storm following its release back in September of 2020. The game put developer’s miHoYo on the map around the world- though they had already achieved success in Asia with their other games and got a bit more international interest with their game Honkai Impact 3^rd. Following the huge success of Genshin Impact, miHoYo are taking on a whole new genre with their upcoming game for Android and iOS: Tears of Themis.

Tears of Themis will blend the romance with the crime and thriller genre, allowing the player to take on court trials and investigations. In fact, this kind of game does have its own genre called otome- a narrative-based game that tends to lean towards a female audience- which is popular in Japan but is rising even more so as of late in the West. It blends story with romance and usually allows the player a choice as to what handsome guy you want to romance. Sounds right up my street honestly.

miHoYo have announced today that the registration for the Closed Beta for Tears of Themis is officially open  as of right now, on April 19^th. Make sure to check out the press release for Tears of Themis below.
