miHoYo Changed Genshin Impact Publisher to Cognosphere, Did the Game Really Stop Working?

Recently, the publisher of Genshin Impact changed to Cognosphere, from miHoYo. This caught the attention of many fans out there and they started to wonder what was going on with the game. In fact, some of the YouTubers out there have started making videos saying the game is coming to an end and Genshin Impact will be shutting down. Does the game really close?

Well, not likely. In fact, far from it. The publisher change was made after integrating different payment methods on EGS. miHoYo highlighted that “with more participating entities, the publisher of Genshin Impact on the Epic Games Store has been updated to COGNOSPHERE PTE. LTD. ”

It is common practice for developers to change publishers to circumvent the restrictions of the country in which they are located. Various possible reasons (rumored) are broken down by u / Yamusauce. You can find them below.

1. The reason Genshin changed their publisher was to avoid possible restrictions from the Chinese government.
2. Mihoyo did not make an announcement because they wanted to keep quiet and avoid conflict with the CCP.
3. The whole company is moving to Singapore because the CCP is planning to take action against Mihoyo.
4. Now that developers will have more freedom in creating characters and lore, we will have better content.
5. Now we will get more events and free.
