Genshin Impact fans were in for quite a surprise Friday when it was announced an anime project based on the hit game is in the works. Game developer HoYoverse confirmed the news and revealed that the animation studio Ufotable will be developing the series.
Revealed during the game’s Version 3.1 Special Programme, a concept trailer was aired showcasing the art of the project. HoYoverse referred to the anime as a “long-term” project, so it will likely be some time before the actual series is released.
