Genshin Impact's Liyue Video Unveils Exciting Teaser for Highly Anticipated Anime Adaptation!

Genshin Impact has released a teaser video showcasing prominent locations in the Liyue region. This region, inspired by Chinese culture, was the game's second major region and previously held the title as the largest region until the introduction of Sumeru by HoYoverse. The annual Lantern Rite Festival, which highlights characters from Liyue, is consistently hosted in this region, further emphasizing its cultural significance.

Genshin Impact's Twitter account has shared a captivating video titled Scenery and Sentiment: Liyue Edition, showcasing the breathtaking landscapes of the Geo nation. Viewers are treated to an array of iconic locations, including Luhua Pool and Qingyun Peak. This is the second installment in the Scenery and Sentiment series, with the first highlighting the Anemo nation Mondstadt. Excitement mounts as fans anticipate the release of similar videos for each region, eagerly awaiting a glimpse of the recently unveiled Sumeru deserts. Speculation arises that this teaser may be a glimpse into the forthcoming anime adaptation, which was announced in 2022.

The anime adaptation is a collaboration between HoYoverse, the developer of Genshin Impact, and Ufotable, a renowned animation studio recognized for their work on notable series like Fate and Demon Slayer. Although details about the anime adaptation are scarce, it has been in development for over two years, heightening anticipation among fans.

According to credible sources, the anime adaptation of the game will follow a regional storyline, similar to the main game. It has been rumored that the initial 12 episodes will be set in the Mondstadt region, indicating that viewers may have to wait for the second season to experience more action in the Geo nation. The video teaser also showcases popular playable characters from Liyue, such as Xiao and Zhongli, along with important non-playable characters like Madame Ping and Cloud Retainer.

Many fans express their preference for the animated series to adhere to Genshin Impact's official manga, even if it means revisiting the same storyline. Additionally, the confirmation that the Mondstadt arc will span 12 episodes aligns with the claims made by HoYoverse, further solidifying the notion that this project will be a long-term endeavor.

Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
