Is Genshin RPG or MMORPG?
Short answer: No — Genshin Impact is not an MMO. It’s a single-player action RPG with limited cooperative features. World scale and progression: The game is primarily designed around a single-player campaign, character story progression, and exploration tied to one player’s account and save state. Genshin Impact is an open-world, action role-playing game that allows the player to control one of four interchangeable characters in a party. Switching between characters can be done quickly during combat, allowing the player to use several different combinations of skills and attacks.
What is MMO vs MMORPG?
The difference between MMO and MMORPG is that all MMORPGs are MMOs, but not all MMOs are MMORPGs. MMORPG are, by definition, a type of RPG, while an MMO can be anything from a battle royale action title to a real-time strategy game or even a new type of interactive experience that defies genres. Games may have MMO features like large worlds with online persistence but still not generally be considered an MMO, such as Grand Theft Auto V’s online play, while other games like League of Legends have small individual sessions but the global infrastructure requirements often allow for classification as an MMO.
