Genshin Impact has been popping off with numerous collabs, but its most ambitious one has to be this one. The official Genshin Impact Youtube channel recently released a concept trailer of its collaboration with the renowned animation company Ufotable. We’d like our readers, fans, players, and enthusiasts to brace themselves as we’re finally getting a Genshin Impact anime in the near future.
Watch the trailer here:
Genshin Impact x Ufotable: What This Entails
The trailer reveals the gorgeously animated world of Teyvat that players have known and loved since the beginning of the game. The animation and artstyle uniquely blends the game’s aesthetic and the anime aesthetic- and it looks breathtaking. We see our emergency food slash guide Paimon greet us into this world and after some overhead shots of the world, we see our twin siblings- Aether and Lumine standing together, holding hands, overlooking a cliff.
We enter this world from what looks like a dense forest and then we are greeted by what looks like the landscape of Mondstadt with all the flattened peaks and plateaus. We also see shots of a waterfall which could be any one of the numerous waterfalls in Genshin Impact. We also see what is unmistakably a shot of Dragonspine. The Anemo Archon’s Statue of the Seven looks just like it does in the game. We also see a giant tree, floating chunks of land in the distance and so on.
We’ve already seen what Genshin Impact could look like as an anime through various promo videos released by the company about several of its characters like the Kamisato siblings, Nahida and so on. Since then players have been wishing for and demanding an anime adaptation of the game and it seems like we’re finally getting that.
Ufotable was the right animation company to pick for this as they’re already renowned for their adaptation of the Fate franchise which also originally started off as a simple gacha game and is now at least a million-dollar franchise. Ufotable played a big part in that success with their over-the-top clean action sequences and jaw-dropping anime adaptations depicting their rich and diverse world and cast of characters.
Because of their experience, Ufotable was the perfect studio to choose for this ‘Long-term Project’ collab. Genshin’s world and characters are vast, beautiful and above all have depth and character. Ufotable will be able to do justice to it whenever the anime is finally announced. We expect it’s still a few years away because a project like this takes time and they also have to decide on the story considering how Genshin Impact’s own story is incomplete.
