HoYoverse has officially lifted the curtain on a major new creative mode for Genshin Impact—a sandbox platform designed for user-generated content that promises deeper customization, public lobbies, and even player-created characters. While rumors of such a mode have been circulating for months, the developer is finally ready to reveal its vision for expanding the game beyond traditional adventures.
Unlike Divine Ingenuity or the Serenitea Pot, which are directly integrated into the core gameplay, this new User Generated Content (UGC) system will function as a separate platform. Drawing inspiration from past player creations, HoYoverse plans to give the community even more powerful tools—reportedly including full coding support and extensive character customization options.
The UGC mode, first announced for Chinese audiences on August 8, 2025, is set to roll out globally by the end of the year. While a firm release date hasn’t been confirmed, leaks suggest the mode could be called Miliastra Wonderland and support cooperative play for up to eight players. There’s even speculation about a unique cosmetic-focused gacha system tied to the mode.
With no final confirmation on how public and private lobbies will function, it’s clear that HoYoverse is aiming to enhance Genshin Impact’s co-op experience—an area the game has been gradually expanding since the release of Natlan. Many expect the UGC platform to debut alongside Version 6.1, giving players time to explore the new Nod-Krai region, though Version 6.2 in December 2025 remains another likely launch window.
If the leaks hold true, Genshin Impact’s sandbox mode could become one of the most ambitious additions in the game’s history, blending creative freedom with multiplayer experiences in a way that keeps its world alive long after traditional content updates.
