'Genshin Impact' Is Receiving an Anime Adaptation, Developer Hoyoverse Partners with Ufotable

Fans of the hit gacha game "Genshin Impact" can now look forward to more Teyvat content, as its developer miHoYo recently announced plans to create an anime adaptation of the multi-platform adventure game.

'Genshin Impact' Gets Anime Adaptation

According to Engadget, Hoyoverse has recently partnered with animation studio Ufotable to work on the project. Ufotable is the top-notch anime creator behind the "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" series.

This information was obtained during a recent "Genshin Impact" livestream, which focused on a recent update to the adventure RPG. The update included version 3.1, which will launch on Sept. 28. Hoyoverse stressed that its latest collaboration with Ufotable is a "long-term project," implying that fans can expect more "Genshin Impact" content to be released in the coming months.

Hoyoverse's most recent announcement included a 3-minute concept trailer for the widely expected collaboration with Ufotable. As seen in the video, the concept of an anime series suggests that it will revolve around the game's main archon quests.

More and more video game series are getting anime adaptations. In the last few years, animation studios and producers have become interested in adding more titles to the genre. Arcane, a Netflix anime series based on League of Legends, won the Creative Arts Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program earlier this month.

More About the Recent Hoyoverse x Ufotable Partnership

The Shanghai-based game developer is known for surprising Genshin Impact fans every now and then, but this recent announcement is an absolute shocker. However, the 3-minute video did not reveal any additional details such as release dates, titles, characters, and so on. It is safe to say that Hoyoverse has many more delights in store for the coming months.

According to a Comicbook scoop, the anime will most likely begin where the game's archon quests start and explore the City of Freedom and Mondstadt. The game's rich lore and world-building are ideal recipes for a thrilling anime series. Don't even get us started on Genshin Impacts' fascinating characters, who will undoubtedly add depth to their planned storyline.

The game developer recently released the massive Sumeru update, which included many new features, including a brand new element called Dendro. This update received a favorable response from fans. We could only expect an anime series better to solidify the game's impact on its growing fanbase.

The newest patch for "Genshin Impact," version 3.1, will increase the size of the new region of Sumeru and add King Deshret's Mausoleum, dungeons, new tasks and weapons, and three new playable characters.

With more than 50 million downloads, the game continues to be very popular on the app store. This number will likely increase further as the game's developer stays the course relentlessly to incorporate the most thrilling updates.
