Summary
- Ufotable listed Genshin Impact in a job listing, sparking excitement among fans about the anime project's status.
- Fans suspect HoYoverse may wait for all 7 regions in the game to be released before premiering the anime.
- Initial hype for the Genshin Impact anime has faded, but Ufotable's reputation for delivering quality animation remains.
A new job listing posted by the popular Japanese animation studio Ufotable is exciting news for all fans of the long-awaited Genshin Impact anime. Since Genshin Impact launched in 2020, players have been asking for an anime adaptation, as the game's world design and prolonged main storyline could be a perfect fit for an animated series.
Genshin Impact officially announced its anime adaptation during the Version 3.1 Special Program event in 2022. Although the announcement generated significant hype, developer HoYoverse and Ufotable have provided little additional information about the project over the past couple of years.
Genshin Impact Reportedly Had a Large Revenue Drop in February 2025
A recent revenue report shows that Genshin Impact's sales dropped significantly in February compared to the previous month’s figures.
The lack of updates on the project has led many fans to suspect that it may have been canceled or delayed. Some players have also drawn parallels to Genshin Impact's Nintendo Switch announcement from 2020. Although the game was officially confirmed for the Nintendo Switch, more than four years have passed, and players still cannot access it on this platform. However, a Reddit user named SunSAndMoonSOf5 recently pointed out an interesting detail about Ufotable's latest job listing. According to the job description, Ufotable mentioned several anime series it has been producing, including Genshin Impact. This discovery sparked excitement within the community, as many fans are relieved that the project has not been abandoned.
Genshin Impact Mentioned in Latest Ufotable Job Listing
At the same time, some players have criticized HoYoverse and Ufotable for announcing the anime so early, arguing that much of the initial hype has faded. Others noted that this approach is common in the anime industry. Nonetheless, Ufotable has a reputation for taking its time, and it always delivers when it comes to animation quality.
Some fans suspect that HoYoverse might be waiting for all seven regions of Teyvat to be released before the anime premieres. So far, six out of the seven Genshin Impact nations have been added to the game, with Snezhnaya being the only one still missing. Based on HoYoverse's usual update schedule, players can expect Snezhnaya to arrive around August or September 2025.
Previous rumors about the Genshin Impact anime suggest that each major region could have its own season. Another leak claimed that the anime would depict Teyvat before the Traveler’s arrival, though this seems inconsistent with the reveal trailer, which featured the game's protagonist duo. Fans hope the anime will explore some of Genshin Impact's most iconic past events, such as the Archon War and the fall of Khaenri'ah.
