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.

During the State of Play broadcast, a brand-new trailer for Genshin Impact showcased over a dozen playable characters from the first two of the seven major cities to appear in Teyvat, each of whom brings unique elemental powers and their own signature combat style to the table.

The first of these cities is Mondstadt, an idyllic "City of Freedom" where the dancing winds are serenaded by the songs of bards. Located on the northeast side of the continent, Mondstadt is where new players will encounter a host of new characters with formidable powers that will be key companions to the Traveler as they set off on their journey across Teyvat.

Next is Liyue Harbor — the greatest trading port in all of Teyvat. This city blends elements of ancient eastern culture and stunning natural scenery, weaving them together into a breathtakingly beautiful and truly magical landscape. The port is chock-full of characters with diverse backgrounds and many stories to tell, who will lead players down new paths during their adventure.

With a diverse cast of characters in hand, players can also team up with friends in co-op mode to master the synergies of elemental combat as they battle against legendary enemies like Lupus Boreas, Dominator of Wolves.

"We were absolutely thrilled to announce to all fans of PlayStation®4 during today's State of Play broadcast that Genshin Impact will be released this fall," said Forrest Liu, General President of miHoYo. "Thanks to the dedication of our team and support from our partners at Sony Interactive Entertainment, we can finally unveil what we've been working on for the past three and a half years. We can't wait to see what happens when players finally start their own journeys in the world we've created."

Genshin Impact is coming to PS4 in Fall 2020, followed by PC, iOS and Android in 2020, and Nintendo Switch, with a release date to be announced at a later time.
