The long-anticipated anime adaptation of Genshin Impact has resurfaced with a brief new teaser, offering fans their first concrete update in years. Renowned Japanese animation studio ufotable included the project in a recent promotional reel highlighting its upcoming works slated for 2026 and beyond, confirming that the adaptation is still in active development.
Originally announced in 2022 as a collaboration with game developer HoYoverse, the Genshin Impact anime had remained largely out of the spotlight, with no major news following its initial reveal. The newly released teaser is short and understated, but meaningful: it depicts the twin protagonists, Lumine and Aether, reaching toward one another — a visual nod to their separation at the heart of the game’s storyline.
While the clip does not reveal story details, additional characters, or extended animation, its inclusion in ufotable’s future lineup reassures fans that the project has not been shelved. However, key details such as the anime’s format — whether it will be a television series, film, or streaming exclusive — as well as its release date, remain unannounced.
Despite the limited footage, the teaser has reignited excitement within the Genshin Impact community, signaling that more updates may finally be on the horizon after a long period of uncertainty.
