Rise to Success
Luo's career took off with the founding of miHoYo. The company's initial project was a game engine called the "Misato Engine". MiHoYo's breakthrough came with the development and release of Honkai Impact 3rd in 2016, which gained traction in the Asian market. The company achieved global recognition with the launch of Genshin Impact in 2020. Luo's substantial ownership stake in miHoYo is the source of his wealth. The company is valued at $20 billion and is known for creating immersive gaming worlds.
Key Business Strategies
miHoYo's success can be attributed to their focus on anime-style games, with rich storylines and virtual world settings. The company has also been leveraging AI for their next generation of games. The launch of Genshin Impact in 2020, a free-to-play, open-world action RPG, was a significant cultural and financial phenomenon.
