Genshin Impact is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated upcoming releases as we slowly trudge through the second half of 2020. Now the free to play game finally has a release date, on PC and mobile that is.
Developer and publisher miHo Yo have confirmed that Genshin Impact will touch down on PC, as well as iOS and Android devices, on September 28th. Those wanting to get a day one advantage ahead of Genshin Impact launch date can do so by pre-registering to earn some extra in-game rewards.
With nearly 200,000 players having already registered, miHo Yo has set a handful of milestone goals – once hit, the player community will unlock special items and currency bundles to help them on their new adventure.
Naturally, with the recent beta on PlayStation 4, console gamers are asking when Genshin Impact will release on PS4. There’s not concrete launch date right now with a provisional “Fall 2020” window.
Genshin Impact is an action RPG with online elements which many have likened to Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in terms of its exploration and art style. When the game was revealed in China, Nintendo fans went as far as heckling demonstrations at events, one of them smashing their PS4 console in protest. Perfectly normal behaviour, that.
In his Genshin Impact PS4 preview, Miguel was blown away by the free-to-play open world title. Here are his closing thoughts on the game:
Genshin Impact is the kind of game I’ve been craving for a long time. I obsess over collecting the characters and upgrades in all sorts of free-to-play mobile games, but their insistence on repetitive short-form missions and minimal downtime always burns me out. Genshin Impact steps in a completely opposite direction, providing an immersive and zen world full of natural beauty to explore at your own pace, while also delivering a heaping helping of characters, skill points, missions, equipment and more that is sure to keep me glued to the full game for ages.
