HoYoverse Sues to Shut Down HomDGCat Wiki Over Alleged Leaks

The filing says the fan-run site built its following by publishing unreleased, NDA‑protected material sourced from closed beta programs.

Overview

  • Georgia court documents show HoYoverse seeking a permanent injunction to take the HomDGCat website and related social accounts offline, plus monetary damages.
  • The complaint alleges the operator solicited beta files from testers bound by confidentiality, bypassed protections to datamine content, and posted thousands of unreleased assets including artwork, dialogue, and gameplay details.
  • HoYoverse says it issued multiple DMCA notices and a December 2025 cease-and-desist before suing, claiming the operator agreed to only some demands and refused to stop datamining.
  • The wiki added a January disclaimer stating it would only update live-game data and the operator said the Telegram channel would be handed over, yet the site remains accessible.
  • The case continues as part of HoYoverse’s broader enforcement push, which previously yielded a $1.5 million Canadian judgment in 2024 and a $15,000 U.S. default judgment in 2025.
