Nodus Fall Gacha
HoYoverse’s big games are gacha, so people assumed this one would be too. The trailer and official site never mention it. As of Gamescom, monetization is a blank.

Genshin, Star Rail, and Zenless are gacha. Nodus Fall is from the same publisher, so the banner question showed up before the trailer even ended. HoYoverse didn’t answer it. There’s no wish UI in the footage, no premium currency named, no “free-to-play” line in the Gamescom news post.
What they actually showed
Weavers, squads, Divine Skills ripped off bosses, relics, loadouts you can swap. Noisy Pixel talked about Styles and Skills. That’s a build sandbox in the marketing. It doesn’t need a gacha to exist, and it doesn’t prove there isn’t one. The copy just never goes there.
Push Square wondered out loud whether this would be another free-to-play or a full-price game. Beebom asked the same after ONL. Those are recap questions, not a slide from HoYoverse.
Don’t read the trailer as an economy
“Switch roles and loadouts” is not a character banner. Relics off big hunts sound more like loot than like a rate-up five-star, and even that’s still a slogan. Monster Hunter-shaped footage also isn’t a business model.
A real yes would look like first-party banner language. A real no would look like a SKU, a price, or a blunt FAQ. Neither is in the 26 August 2026 materials. Until one of those shows up,Nodus Fall gacha is unanswered. Studio context is inNodus Fall HoYoverse.
