What do you hope players find interesting? Genshin Impact?
We want to offer an immersive open-world experience, where players have more freedom to experience the game the way they want. Different players can enjoy different things in Genshin Impactand we have tried to offer something for different tastes. Fans of the action RPG genre can enjoy the elemental interaction system. Players can then build their party strategically, with different combinations and elemental interactions that offer different advantages for combat and puzzle solving in the open world.
Multiplayer players can enjoy being able to invite friends into their world to explore domains, defeat powerful bosses, and earn the rewards on offer, while players who prefer the immersive single-player experience can immerse themselves in the world of Teyvat for your account. The answer to the question of what is interesting Genshin Impact it’s one that we hope players can discover for themselves.
Does the team plan to make content between story updates more robust? Is there any discussion about changing the resin system?
Between version updates, we will release new features and events to enrich the Genshin Impact experience. The recent Elemental Crucible event is one of those cooperative events. Our first Unreconciled Stars season event coming in the Version 1.1 update will last two weeks in three stages, each stage will have its own missions. More events are also in process
We’ve received a lot of feedback from players on the Resin system and the team is already working on some fixes. We will share more information with the community when we have more details available.
When designing new characters, what qualities does the team prioritize?
“Character design” is a very broad subject, and the creation of each character is the result of several departments and teams working closely together, including intellectual property, game design, art, and animation. However, in general, our focus is always on whether a character fits into the lore of the game and has enough breadth in his game for players to enjoy it.
There is a boy named Timmie waiting for his father on a bridge in Mondstadt. Will we ever know more about what happened to his father?
Teyvat is a vast world made up of seven main cities, and in this world, countless stories unfold all the time. Thanks to the players who noticed Timmie, without revealing too much, let’s just stay tuned for future updates.
Any updates on Switch or next-gen ports, or cross-platform savings extending to consoles?
The Switch version is already in development. We currently have no plans to allow data sharing between PS4 and other platforms.
As version 1.1 will be released on November 11, Genshin Impact It will also be playable on PlayStation5 through backward compatibility with improved graphics and faster loading times. We also have more plans regarding next-gen consoles, and will announce these as these plans take shape.
