Genshin Impact, developed and published by HoYoverse (miHoYo), is a globally successful free-to-play open-world action RPG that blends anime-inspired visuals with deep exploration and real-time combat. Set in the vibrant fantasy world of Teyvat, the game follows the Traveler, who journeys across nations ruled by elemental Archons while searching for their lost sibling.
 

The world of Teyvat is divided into diverse regions such as Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, and beyond—each inspired by different cultures, landscapes and elemental themes. Players freely explore mountains, cities, forests, oceans and ruins while solving puzzles, discovering secrets and completing quests.
 

Combat revolves around a unique elemental reaction system. Players build teams of four characters and switch between them in real time, combining elements like Pyro, Hydro, Electro, Cryo, Anemo, Geo and Dendro to trigger powerful reactions such as Vaporize, Melt, Overload and Bloom. This system encourages strategic team composition and skillful execution.
 

Genshin Impact features a large and constantly expanding character roster, each with distinct abilities, weapons, personalities and backstories. Characters are obtained through the Wish (gacha) system, while progression includes leveling, talents, artifacts and weapons.
 

The game offers single-player and co-op multiplayer, allowing friends to explore the world together, tackle bosses and complete domains. Regular updates introduce new regions, characters, events, story chapters and quality-of-life improvements.
 

With its cinematic storytelling, beautiful soundtrack, frequent content updates and cross-platform accessibility, Genshin Impact has become one of the most influential and successful RPGs of its generation.
