Hoyoverse partners with ufotable for a Genshin Impact anime project

A concept trailer of this upcoming project has already been released

Developer miHoYo has recently shared an upcoming “long-term project” with animation production company ufotable. Hoyoverse announced its collaboration during today's 3.1 special program as part of the game's anniversary celebrations. And according to reliable sources, this new enterprise will revolve around a Genshin Impact anime.

A concept trailer of the in-progress Genshin Impact anime was shown, so we still aren’t quite sure what this story will be about. However, in the end, both studies joining forces to create this video game-based anime is reason enough to get all the fans excited.

Check out the concept trailer below:

Hoyoverse described the Genshin Impact anime as a "long-term project launch" with ufotable, which suggests the first installment in the anime may be a way out and that it could see much more than a single season. Of course, that's assuming it's a traditional seasonal work; it's possible this will be a series of shorts, non-linear works, or other animated snippets.

"After a lot of painstaking work, we are happy to present you with this surprise on our anniversary and officially announce the animation collaboration project between Genshin Impact and ufotable," Hoyoverse marketing head Michael says on-stream, at least confirming that this is indeed an anime of some kind. "We hope you will be able to experience the animation project as soon as possible," he adds.
