A team of skilled animators from Genshin Impact has crafted a captivating video trailer that exhibits key moments from the game portrayed in 25 distinct art styles. Despite its release over 3 years ago, the game maintains a vast player community that frequently produces their own art inspired by the diverse characters and narratives of Teyvat.
The storyline of Genshin Impact has so far transported Travelers to five out of seven major regions spanning across Teyvat. This suggests that HoYoverse is yet to introduce Natlan and Sneznhaya, two new nations. As per an early story trailer, Snezhnaya is anticipated to be the final region unveiled, potentially making the Pyro nation the Travelers' next stop.
To honor Genshin Impact's anniversary and the remarkable fan art, HoYoverse organizes an annual Web Event named HoYoFair. Recently, the official YouTube channel of HoYoFair shared a remarkable video featuring 25 clips, illustrating the game in diverse art styles. Viewers expressed interest in a humorous series following the Traveler's escapades through Teyvat, while others favored a classic anime approach due to the game's cel-shaded visuals. In 2022, HoYoverse confirmed the development of an official Genshin Impact anime.
Unveiling the Genshin Impact Anime
The upcoming anime series is a joint effort with Ufotable, known for animating popular series like Demon Slayer, Fate, and The Garden of Sinners. Leaks suggest the initial episodes will be set in Mondstadt, the game's inaugural region and the starting point for all Travelers.
The official anime concept trailer showcases various Mondstadt locales, featuring main characters Lumine, Aether, and their loyal companion Paimon. Fans speculate that the anime will mirror Genshin Impact's core story, potentially dividing seasons based on Teyvat's regions. Enthusiasts anticipate appearances from iconic deceased characters like Mondstadt's hero, Vennessa. However, an official release date for the anime remains elusive, with HoYoverse referring to it as a long-term undertaking that may take several more months to materialize.
