There is an anime adaptation of Genshin Impact in the works, produced by Ufotable, the studio that is known for its many works, the latest being on the Demon Slayer anime. The anime is still in its early stages of development, so there is no release date yet. However, we do have a concept trailer that was released in September 2022.
The trailer gives us a glimpse of the anime’s art style, which is cel-shaded and looks very similar to the game.
The anime is expected to follow the story of the Traveler as they explore the world of Teyvat and search for their lost sibling. We also get to see some of the characters from the game, including the Traveler, Paimon, and Amber. Aside from these characters, here are the top 10 characters we would love to see in Genshin Impact anime.
