HoYoverse Hiring Writers for Genshin Impact Anime
While development of the Genshin Impact anime may be ramping up, fans have still not been given a concrete idea about the anime’s plot. Many fans have suggested, thanks to the initial trailer featuring the Traveler, that the series will serve as an adaptation of Genshin Impact‘s story into an animated format. Others have suggested that the story may differ from the game, potentially taking cues from Genshin Impact‘s manga or featuring an alternative cast, similar to other adaptations like Cyberpunk Edgerunners.
The long-awaited debut of the Genshin Impact anime will have plenty of in-game material to work with, with nearly all the main regions of Teyvat now added to the game. August saw the release of Natlan as Genshin Impact‘s sixth explorable region, with the final main region in Snezhnaya expected to come sometime next year. HoYoverse has also given plenty of teasers at the deeper interconnected story throughout recent updates, showing off more of the plot surrounding the Abyss and connections to Kha’enriah. Fans can only hope the new hires mean that HoYoverse is finally ramping up production on Genshin Impact‘s anime.
