The concept trailer for a long-term project collaboration between Hoyoverse and ufotable for Genshin Impact was released today, showcasing the vast open-world environment and animations of the game.
Not much was shared in terms of the actual information of the project, but the visuals showing the massive open-world game areas of Genshin Impact were presented in a more detailed manner, with smoother graphics and critically designed animations. This includes the mountains, seas, and skies that players can explore in the game. The trailer also showed the character’s guide and travel buddy, Paimon, as well as the male and female versions of the Traveler.
The trailer comes after the Genshin Impact 3.1 Special Program livestream, wherein it was revealed that an anime series based on the game’s story and setting will be worked on by Hoyoverse and ufotable. A release date wasn’t given, but we know this will be a long-term project.
The release of the trailer follows the huge update 3.0 for Genshin Impact that went live last month. It introduced the new region of Sumueru, as well as the new Dendro element. Tighnari, the first five-star Dendro-type character in the game, also became the banner character when the update arrived, before being replaced by Ganyu’s re-run, which was the live limited-time banner beginning last week.
As for ufotable, the studio has released some of the most popular anime series in Japan, including Fate/Zero, God Eater, and the different editions of the Demon Slayer series.
