Genshin Impact Previews Opening Cinematic

A new video has been released that shows off snippets of the opening cinematic from miHoYo’s upcoming open-world action RPG Genshin Impact. The one-minute video sets the stage for the game with animated scenes that show how the Traveler’s sister is captured and taken from him, giving the game its conflict. Genshin Impact is currently in development for Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC, though no release date has been announced yet. A new closed beta for the game began on March 19, 2020, for PC, iOS, and Android.

Genshin Impact is set in the fantasy world of Teyvat. Players take on the role of a figure known as “the Traveler”, embarking on a journey to find their long-lost sibling and learn the secrets of the world. Players will be joined by a companion called Paimon and travel with a customised party of up to four characters.
