Potential Genshin Impact rival ‘Tower of Fantasy’ to host closed beta test this April: Registrations and more details revealed

Something that has been trending lately in relation to Genshin Impact is another game known as Tower of Fantasy. The latter game isn't made by miHoYo, as Hotta Studio instead develops it.

However, the two games have been compared for over a year now, especially since Tower of Fantasy's global closed beta test is coming soon.

The game is already available in China since December 16, 2021, for PC, Android, and iOS. This article focuses on the global beta test, which is for a version of the game that isn't out yet. The deadline to sign up for the first closed beta test is 8.00 PM (EDT) on March 28, 2022.

Comparisons to Genshin Impact

This video comparison is a bit on the older side (as it shows Genshin Impact 2.0), but the core gameplay should still suffice for basic comparisons. Both games feature:

• Anime-esque designs
• Open-world combat (although there are key differences between the core mechanics)
• Basic movement options (such as running, sprinting, climbing, and swimming)
• A similar HP bar above an enemy's head

Some notable differences exclusive to Tower of Fantasy but missing in Genshin Impact include:

• More sci-fi elements
• Deeper customization options related to outfits
• It's an MMO with PVP
• Completely different gadgets serving different purposes (like a jetpack)

Both games are from Chinese developers, although Genshin Impact had a global release, whereas Tower of Fantasy has not. The latter game will finally be making its global debut later this year.

Whether it makes an impact similar to miHoYo's most popular title remains to be seen. However, there have been some controversial moments in the past involving the game plagiarizing Honkai Impact 3rd.

Still, it's a game with a fanbase that's greatly anticipating its global debut. Anybody curious to check out the game is highly recommended to follow the official Twitter account (@ToF_EN_Official).
