HoYoverse Sues to Shut Down HomDGCat Wiki Over Alleged Genshin and Star Rail Leaks

Court papers in Georgia accuse the site’s operator of urging beta testers to breach NDAs to obtain unreleased content.

Overview

  • The lawsuit seeks a permanent injunction to take the HomDGCat website and related social accounts offline and requests monetary damages.
  • HoYoverse alleges the operator published thousands of unreleased assets from Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, including artwork, dialogue, and gameplay details.
  • Claims in the filing include copyright infringement, trade secret misappropriation, breach of contract, circumvention of technological protection measures, and interference with contractual relations.
  • The company says it sent DMCA takedowns and a December 2025 cease-and-desist letter, after which the operator said he would comply with only “some” demands and added a disclaimer to update only live game data.
  • As of the latest reporting, the site remains online with no public response from the operator, and the case follows earlier HoYoverse wins against leakers and hackers in 2024 and 2025.
