Studio Ufotable, known for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, has confirmed its work on a Genshin Impact anime adaptation. The studio shared an initial teaser as part of its future projects announcement. Details on format and release remain undisclosed.
Studio Ufotable announced in 2022 its partnership with developer MiHoYo to produce anime projects based on Genshin Impact, a popular video game franchise. After a period of limited updates, Ufotable has now confirmed the project and released a first look via a teaser trailer, listing it among its "Future Projects."
The teaser provides an early glimpse, but offers no specifics on whether the adaptation will be a TV series, original video animation (OVA), or feature film. No production staff details have been revealed, and a release date or window is not available. Ufotable's 2026 schedule includes returns for Demon Slayer on television and in theaters, suggesting the Genshin Impact anime may not arrive until 2027 at the earliest.
Last year, the game's combat designer addressed fan concerns, stating, “There’s no unexpected issues, no instability, everything is progressing steadily.” This update alleviates worries about production delays after years of anticipation.
Genshin Impact's global popularity places significant expectations on the anime to match the game's success. Ufotable's track record with high-quality animations, such as Demon Slayer, indicates careful development to ensure a strong adaptation.
