SinceGenshin Impactlaunched in 2020, players have been asking for an anime adaptation, as the game’s world design and prolonged main storyline could be a perfect fit for an animated series.
Genshin Impactofficially announced its anime adaptation during the Version 3.1 Special Program event in 2022. Although the announcement generated significant hype, developer HoYoverse and Ufotable have provided little additional information about the project over the past couple of years.
The lack of updates on the project has led many fans to suspect that it may have been canceled or delayed. Some players have also drawn parallels toGenshin Impact’s Nintendo Switchannouncement from 2020. Although the game was officially confirmed for the Nintendo Switch, more than four years have passed, and players still cannot access it on this platform. However, a Reddit user named SunSAndMoonSOf5 recently pointed out an interesting detail about Ufotable’s latest job listing.

At the same time, some players have criticizedHoYoverse and Ufotable for announcing the animeso early, arguing that much of the initial hype has faded. Others noted that this approach is common in the anime industry. Nonetheless, Ufotable has a reputation for taking its time, and it always delivers when it comes to animation quality.
Some fans suspect that HoYoverse might be waiting for all seven regions of Teyvat to be released before the anime premieres. So far, six out of thesevenGenshin Impactnationshave been added to the game, with Snezhnaya being the only one still missing. Based on HoYoverse’s usual update schedule, players can expect Snezhnaya to arrive around August or September 2025.
Previous rumors about theGenshin Impactanimesuggest that each major region could have its own season. Another leak claimed that the anime would depict Teyvat before the Traveler’s arrival, though this seems inconsistent with the reveal trailer, which featured the game’s protagonist duo. Fans hope the anime will explore some ofGenshin Impact’s most iconic past events, such as the Archon War and the fall of Khaenri’ah.
