Genshin Impact aims to offer an immersive adventure experience with vast, breathtakingly beautiful landscapes, an engaging element-based combat system, a diverse cast of characters with richly developed stories, and offers both the classic single-player mode and the cross-platform co-op mode for up to four players.

Players will take on the role of the mysterious "Traveler", setting off the voyage of finding their lost sibling, and ultimately unravels the mysteries of themselves and the world.

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.

As a free-to-play online title, Genshin Impact enables players to explore Mondstadt and Liyue Harbor – two of the seven major cities in Teyvat – each with unique cultural ambience, stories, vast surrounding landscapes full of diverse creatures and enemies, mysteries, and hidden treasures. Furthermore, the game will continue to expand with more cities, following stories, new characters and seasonal events through live-service updates to enrich the gameplay and expedition in the continent of Teyvat.

Genshin Impact's v3.2 "Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises" will launch on November 2, 2022, where Sumeru's main storyline will culminate in a climax before coming to a grand finale, and more local allies, including Nahida and Layla, will be ready to join as playable characters. Meanwhile, more formidable opponents and fun events, including one to catch and train Fungi, will further enrich players' adventures in the fantasy world of Teyvat.

After the Sabzeruz Festival, samsara and a thrilling trip into the desert, the Sumeru Archon Quest will finally conclude with its last chapter "Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises." While the Traveler teams up with various characters to rescue Nahida from The Doctor's nefarious plot with the Akademiya, the third Fatui Harbinger boss will stand in their way. During the epic boss fight, The Balladeer will transform into a massive mechanical-looking puppet with two forms and multiple elemental abilities. In this last stand, a little floating device might be the key to turning the tide.

Meanwhile, Nahida, aka the current Dendro Archon, has been the Traveler's reliable ally throughout the main storyline, and she will become one of the playable characters soon with another Sumeru character Layla. Nahida will join the cast as a five-star Dendro catalyst, and she can cast a unique viewfinder-ish skill by holding her Elemental Skill to mark, link, and deal additional Dendro damage to opponents. Her power can be further enhanced if she teams up with Pyro, Electro, or Hydro characters. Layla is an Akademiya student in Astrology who can sleepwalk to reveal her true power. In combat, she wields a sword and the power of Cryo, and she can provide both shielding and Cryo damage for the team. Nahida and Yoimiya's rerun will be featured in the early part of Version 3.2's Event Wishes, and we will see Layla's debut in both Yae Miko and Tartaglia's reruns in the latter half.

New events and gameplay also await, including "Fabulous Fungus Frenzy," a fungus competition in which participants can catch and train Fungi to battle in different challenges. Another event, "Adventurer's Trials," has prepared some tricky trials that can be completed with our trial characters, such as knocking Slimes into the Vine Goal by triggering an Overloaded reaction with Yanfei's and Klee's attacks. In addition, the new Dendro Hypostasis will complete the puzzle of the Hypostasis family, serving as a new open-world boss and a part of the challenge "Hypostatic Symphony."

More improvements will be implemented to improve the current gaming experience. The long-awaited "Replication System" will be introduced to the Serenitea Pot system so players can share their realm designs or implement others' in their Teapot. Furthermore, Italian and Turkish languages will be available in the Game Language settings starting from Version 3.3.

Supporting cross-save across all -platforms, Genshin Impact is currently available for PS4, PS5, PC, iOS and Android, and coming to Nintendo Switch at a later time.
