Genshin Impact in recent weeks has managed to gain even greater popularity than it already had, being that the release of its version 5.0 brought a lot of content for fans to continue enjoying their stay in the continent of Teyvat, with the new region of Natlan as the main attraction. But something that many were waiting for was new news about one of the projects announced almost 2 years ago, being this the anime of the HoYoverse game and the fans are still waiting anxiously to know more details of this “long term project” that promises a lot.
In a few days it will be 2 years since the announcement of the Genshin Impact anime.
On September 16, 2022, the gacha-style video game Genshin Impact made an announcement that would surprise fans all over the world, being in this case the future release of its own anime, which excited in an incredible trailer that showed a great quality in the project. And the producer would be none other than Ufotable, world renowned for being in charge of the animation of Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) and that only increased the hype even more, but shortly after reaching the second anniversary, the news are still as scarce as what was seen in the trailer.
Since then, there has not been any news, and with the release of Natlan with version 5.0, and all the announcements that were made that pleased the fans, they were waiting for an announcement on the status of the project. Even the most pessimistic expected that during the broadcast presentation of the new version the cancellation of the project would be confirmed, but in reality neither of these two things happened, so the Genshin Impact anime, currently and almost two years after its official announcement, has no new news.
On the other hand, this new anniversary has also divided the community, with many thinking that this September 16, when it will be another year since the announcement, there will be new news about the Genshin Impact anime, although many others are already losing hope. And many have as a precedent another announcement that was given at the time and never materialized: the Nintendo Switch version, which almost 4 years after the release of the game, never ended up being revealed, even being very possible that it will not be released on that console, although it could become part of the future Nintendo console.
In conclusion, the Genshin Impact anime is in the same place it has been since its official announcement on September 16, 2022, without any official news, whether its release date, voice actors or even where the project is. In addition, it should be noted that HoYoverse is working on different projects at the same time, since in addition to Genshin Impact they are constantly updating titles such as Honkai Impact 3rd, Honkai Star Rail or their most recent Zenless Zone Zero, so the news of the anime of their most popular game may be delayed even more.
Finally, a detail to note is that this anime was presented from the beginning as a “long-term project”, so it is understandable that the news are almost null if from the beginning it was known that it would be a work that would take many years. Now we will only have to wait to know if HoYoverse will end with two years of uncertainty or if it will take a little longer to give clear news of an anime that is being highly anticipated by the entire Genshin Impact community.
