Genshin Impact is a 2020 action role-playing video game developed and published by miHoYo. The game features an anime-style open-world environment and an action-based battle system that uses elemental magic and character-switching. A free-to-play game monetized through gacha mechanics, Genshin Impact is updated regularly using the games as a service model. The story follows the Traveler, an interstellar adventurer left separated from their twin sibling after the two land in Teyvat. Together with their guide Paimon, the Traveler journeys across the nations of Teyvat in search of their lost sibling. Along the way, the two make friends with Teyvat's people, become involved in the affairs of its nations, and unravel the mysteries of the land.
