miHoYo has released the first official screenshots for its Zelda: Breath of the Wild-inspired open world RPG, Genshin Impact. In this new adventure, players transform themselves into a mysterious character, take possession of magical powers and embark on grand open world adventures to unveil wonders and their own destiny.
Set in the fantasy, lush, beautiful open world called Teyvat, Genshin Impact puts players into the shoes of an enigmatic figure called “The Traveler”, who awakes on the shore, with the sole purpose of finding their long-lost kin.
Featured with ancient city designs, scattered encampments and vibrant natural landscapes, the world of Teyvat allows The Traveler to unearth its secrets hidden behind the walls or beneath the wild natures with a freeform movement system. With wit and thoughtfulness, players will be able to crack the puzzles with unique gameplay mechanics, to clear obstacles and find the right path to answers, rewards and more.
Genshin Impact promises to feature a unique combat system thanks to the impressive legacy of miHoYo’s earlier titles. The new gameplay mechanics are based on elemental properties and interactions, allowing The Traveler to utilize different element attacks and magic in varied combinations to deal devastating blows to enemies.
The game is scheduled to begin its initial Closed Beta Test via Mobile and PC platforms from June 21st, 2019.
Enjoy!

sounds good, whats the catch?
It’s an MMO.
LMAO ..!
Not my cup of tea.
There is already a trailer for it out, update the article to include it

Strange that article never showed up when I looked through previous pages
I’m really interested but the fact it’s coming to mobile is making me fearful that’ll be monetized to hell and back.
I’d really hate that cause i really like the look of the gameplay.
look’s good to me !
Not liking mobile being involved, because it means something has had to be scaled back for that low par platform.
Breath of the wild was scaled back and everyone else loved it. for me, if it looks as good as the screens do, then i’m sold.
Yeah, I semi-liked it, but I greatly dislike good art and game design being scaled back for an inferior platform/device.
I appreciate good art when it isn’t compromised.
Actually I don’t think it will be scale back, since there other game that miHoYo develop for mobiles have nice graphics that even Tales series look bad. I mean Honkai Impact 3rd. To able to play the game at max graphics you actually need a powerful phone.

Im looking forward to this. I loved BOTW.
Well that makes sense because Honkai Impact 3dr is basically a Bayonetta clone
