Based on the images leaked on Twitter and various social media platforms, the new costumes of the four female heroes are now more conservative compared to their previous cosmetics.

Because of the sudden changes, some gamers claim that the updates will have negative effects on "Genshin Impact" since players outside the Chinese region also have to deal with the new costumes.

MiHoYo' Fans are Not Pleased

At first, most of the players are okay with the decision of MiHoYo since the new costume updates are only implemented within the Chinese servers. However, now that they know the changes are permanent, they are displeased with the new looks.

In HoYoLAB's Details Page, many fans shared their disappointment about the character changes made by the giant game developer. 

One of them said that the redesigned outfits were supposed to be optional in the global server, asking why they are now permanent for the four female characters. 

Meanwhile, another one said that MiHoYo should move out from China because of the censorship. If you want to know more about their complaints, you can visit this link.
