Genshin Impact Anime Production Is Progressing as Confirmed by Developers

The anime based on Genshin Impact was announced back in 2022, but since then, there have been no updates regarding its adaptation. One might think that the project is sitting in limbo along with the promised Nintendo Switch port, but HoYoverse assures fans that everything is on track for the anime.

The adaptation is being produced by the studio ufotable, known for creating anime series such as Fate/Zero and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Recently, the team has been heavily focused on producing feature films for «Demon Slayer», and in July 2025, reports surfaced indicating that due to high workload, some staff members were redirected from other projects to work on the films. This led fans of Genshin Impact to worry that the anime’s release might be further delayed.

However, the combat system designer of Genshin Impact, known as Aquaria, reassured the community that the anime’s production is proceeding as planned and has not encountered any issues. The developer clarified that the adaptation is being treated as a long-term initiative and urged fans not to worry.

Additionally, last week, HoYoverse hosted a special stream for version Luna IV, titled «If on a winter’s night a traveler». Key details regarding the patch include:

The game is set to update to a new version on January 14. Genshin Impact is available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox Series, and mobile devices with Russian subtitles.
