As an open world action title, Genshin Impact highlights its feature as freely explorable world, multiple playable characters, an in-depth elemental combo-based combat system and an engaging story.

Genshin Impact is an open-world ARPG title, set in the fantasy world of Teyvat, which offers a freely explorable world, multiple characters, an in-depth elemental combo based combat system and an engaging story.

A mysterious figure referred to as “The Traveler”, players will embark on a journey of finding their long-lost sibling to piece together their own mystery, while revealing Teyvat’s numerous secrets.

Joined by a lively companion called Paimon, players will explore the land filled with varied landscapes, culturally – diverse towns, and treacherous dungeons. By mastering the power of the seven elements with a custom party of up to 4 characters, players will overcome merciless foes and fiendish puzzles.


Genshin Impact will kick off its next closed beta test on March 19, 2020.

Meanwhile, the brand new gameplay video has been released to take a deeper look at how Genshin Impact's quests unfold as players set off on an intriguing journey from Mondstadt to Liyue Harbor. Accomplishing various challenges along the way, players will unveil the mysteries of the vast fantasy realm of Teyvat.

In the latest gameplay trailer, character Amber leads audiences on a new adventure from Mondstadt — the city of wind (Anemo) — to Liyue Harbor — the city of rock (Geo) which is described as a new, eastern, fantasy locale. During the journey, players can take on quests to slay increasingly more challenging and merciless monsters by utilizing a team of up to 4 characters, who each use different elemental play styles to bring justice and peace to this wonderland. Bountiful landscapes and natural vistas can be discovered, including lush bamboo forests and misty waterfalls, which all encourage players to slow down and enjoy the scenery. When players eventually come to Liyue Harbor, numerous appealing kiosks from a faraway time tempt players moving through the bustling harbor.

Starting March 19, Genshin Impact will showcase the gorgeous, culturally-diverse cities of Mondstadt and Liyue Harbor to players, so they can start their own adventure on PC, iOS or Android.

In the initial Closed Beta test, Genshin Impact revealed Mondstadt - the City of Wind (Anemo) with a variety of adventures, stories, and characters. This time, Genshin Impact builds on Teyvat, with an all-new story in Liyue Harbor - the City of Rock (Geo), that whisks traveler away to a new, eastern-inspired locale. There, players will find an immersive gameplay experience featuring breathtaking aesthetic design, content-rich discovery, brand new characters and an in-depth skill and talent system.

Being the richest city of the seven nations, Liyue Harbor shines like jade in the east. Legend says that the God of Geo drove out the ancient sea monsters of this once barren land and taught its first inhabitants to smelt metals and ores. He then encouraged them to open trade with other cities. Thanks to the diligent efforts made by several generations, ships carrying wealth from all over the world converge in Liyue Harbor nowadays, making it the most prosperous port city in Teyvat.

Liyue Harbor can be seen after passing through Mt. Tianheng. From there, tightly clustered ships and flows of people could be mistaken for woven threads. Beyond the bustle of the docks, towards Feiyun Slope, many appealing pavilions and kiosks from a faraway time welcome visitors from everywhere. Hidden in the gardens of Yujing Terrace, the majestic Yuehai Pavilion towers over the city.

Genshin Impact is in development for PS4, PC, iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch, with a release date to be announced at a later time.
