HoYoverse has delivered one of the most beloved gacha games of all time with Genshin Impact and many fans are wondering if there’s going to be an anime adaption of the game any time soon. 

Genshin Impact is packed full of content for fans to enjoy, from a huge character roster full of free and banner-exclusive fighters, five unique regions to explore including Fontaine, which was released in the recent 4.0 update, and plenty of interesting quests to complete.

The open world of Teyvat is a captivating place that has kept players busy for hundreds of hours, and with such extensive lore, many Travelers have wondered if the game will receive an anime show in the future. After all, anime adaptions of games are becoming more prominent as evidenced by Cyberpunk Edgerunners, and Nier: Automata Ver 1.1a.

Here’s everything we know so far about a Genshin Impact anime show.

Will Genshin Impact have its own anime?

Yes, HoYoverse has announced that Genshin Impact will now receive its own anime. The developers revealed that they are working alongside Japanese animation studio, Ufotable, to bring the world of Teyvat to life like never before.

This news was announced during the 3.1 livestream, which gave Travelers an early look at the upcoming project, alongside all the latest content. Ufotable is known for creating some of the most beautiful environments and adrenaline-fueled fight scenes in the industry, with works ranging from Demon Slayer to the beloved Fate series. 

While HoYoverse has yet to reveal how long the show will be or what story elements it will include the “long-term project” looks absolutely stunning. We will update this post as soon as the developers reveal an official release date and more details, so be sure to bookmark this page.

For now, though, check out the official trailer for the Genshin Impact anime above to get a sneak peek at what to expect.
