Genshin Impact is an open-world action RPG developed by HoYoverse (formerly miHoYo) set in the fantasy world of Teyvat. Players control a Traveler searching for their lost twin sibling across seven distinct nations, each governed by a different element and its associated Archon deity.
The game features real-time elemental combat where players switch between a team of four characters, combining their abilities to trigger powerful elemental reactions. An extensive gacha system allows players to wish for new characters and weapons, with a steady stream of limited-time banners released through regular version updates.
Genshin Impact is free-to-play and supports cross-play and cross-save across all platforms. Its live-service model delivers major story updates approximately every six weeks, continuously expanding the world with new regions, characters, events, and quests.
