On September 12, 2023, Chen announcement on his Sina Weibo and Bilibili profiles that after careful consideration, he had chosen to leave the miHoYo company and its music studio, HOYO-MiX, to pursue his personal interests. He stated that he will continue to explore his path of music, and plans to release his own instrumental music album in 2024

Just because he left the company doesn't mean that he is never gonna make music for MiHoYo again, he is likely to make arrangements and compositions as a freelancer for the company in the future just like Yoko Shimomura or Nobuo Uematsu did for Square-Enix.
Being someone who listens to the Genshin soundtrack on Spotify, if he ever decides to compose his own music then I’m ALL down. Everything he has made so far is so beautiful and breathtaking so I have no doubt people like myself will keep supporting him. Wishing him all the best 💕💕
That's life. People move on. I wasn't worried about the music of Genshin tbh. Most of my favourites are not done by him anyway. Hoyo-mix is full of other talented people that deserve recognition too.
Instead of being sad, look at the bright side, him leaving is bringing more awareness and recognition to all the others in the team and now he's able to pursue his own interests. And they honestly needed and deserve the recognition considering some people are actually spreading misinformation, thinking every piece of Genshin's music (plus Hoyo's other games) are composed by him.
And it's not like he's gonna quit making music altogether just because he quit Genshin. You can still enjoy his old works and his future ones too. They may not be for Genshin anymore but it is still made by him.
most of the music structure has already been created for the chapter teaser. we saw this in the 2nd golden apple where the new composer use bit of Chen's orginal fischl theme to create the ironic "fischl battle theme", and he is not new to MHY, being a composer in Honkai 3rd with western classical style being a signature style of his, so it quite natural to takeover in fontaine's heavy western classical theme. the next region should have latino style which should be in his comfort zone too.
i love how people will believe everything they see one the net XD
I wonder which is the real reason why i he left, or got forced to leave. people are so naive..
Gracias por tanto Yu-Peng Chen.
Thanks for all Yu-Peng Chen.
Now i have no reason to play this game,in fontaine im only hear music with no soul no emotion its feel different,yeah its end,i hope you all enjoy this game more than i do ❤❤❤
Kitamura left FromSoft
Peng Chen left Hoyo
Why even game anymore! T-T
Thank you for the explanatory video !
no wonder fontaine fight music was a bit non booty shaking. man other regions fight songs got me shakinging my cheeks and now they cant 🙁
Hearing the Genshin Main theme here makes me emotional knowing that YPC is the one who composed this. I just hope, without YPC, they can still bring that magical feeling when they release the OST for the Mondstadt Expansion.
i remembered when shoji meguro left atlus and persona some time ago. and now its chen’s time to leave hoyo and genshin.
i hope that other composers will continue whatever chen has left before. thanks for all the masterpiece, dear music archon 😊😊
thats why i suddenly felt smtg different when i heard battle theme 3 fontaine it has smtg i didnt expected from yupengchen
As in game OST enjoyer, I have my respect for Yu Peng Cheng… But if that is his decision, I can only do I respect it. I just hope the quality of in game OST remain great.
No wonder Fontaine music is not so memorable for me. I’m waiting for that ala-Port Ormos feeling. Or the Dragonspine music feeling.
The fact that many people recognize him just shows how talented he is on this music industry, And if he leave the industry to his old pal in the team, im sure he knew that his team will probably be fine
The legend lives on his new legacy
He may not be involved in Hoyomix, but who's to say he wouldn't be a guest when Khaenri'ah (or the final boss that ends in closure) drops or he has songs made ahead of time for later boss fights.
But like everyone said, theres multiple talents in Hoyo-mix.
🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡 To you, sir!
I am personally quite sad to see Yu Peng Chen leave miHoYo, but I respect his choice and wish him success in his new career.
I have no specific concerns about this at all, as the theme for the Fontaine area, as well as The Chasm area, Sumeru's desert area, etc. and other themes by different composers are of very high quality and also fit the worldview of Genshin Impact. And to begin with, his music itself still can be enjoyable in the game in the future.
My spotify wrap last year was yu peng chen on the top. I'll still follow his next works
It's all C418 all over again…
Yu-peng really made a better Impact for me just because of the music 😢
Rex Incognito as well as all Liyue Soundtracks are good.
The first thing you hear when entering liyue mountain: Track named Liyue is relaxing. 😊
The piano archon got reincarnated into Traveler to explore teyvat.
Thanks god he predicted that Genshin is becoming more and more boring. Wish he finds something interesting
