New Genshin Impact Trailer Teases the Story

Today MiHoYo released a brand new trailer of its upcoming action-RPG Genshin Impact.

This time around we get a teaser of the story. Actually, the video’s title mentions that it contains spoilers, even if it seems fairly mild to me. That being said, watch it at your own peril. 

Incidentally, the visuals look really good. 

If you want to see more of Genshin Impact, you can enjoy the latest trailer, an earlier promotion video, another from Chinajoy,  one from a few weeks ago,  the opening cutascene, and  two trailers introducing Fischl. You can also read our recent hands-on preview.

The game launches on September 28 for PS4, PC, iOS, and Android, with a Switch version also planned down the line. 

Here’s how the developers describe Genshin Impact.

“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.”

Recently, Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida mentioned MiHoYo as an example of the momentum enjoyed by developers from Asia.
