The research and development cost of the project began with $25 million and then exceeded $100 million, which was recouped two weeks after the game's release. Originally, two years were given for production but got extended by year. They faced the difficulty of creating an open world, so it grew to 300 people by mid-2019, then 500 by April 2020, and then 700 by February 2021. The production team initially had 150 people.
Other inspirations came from the random events of Grand Theft Auto, the strategy of Divinity: Original Sin, and game developer Naughty Dog. After Cai played Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the team took inspiration from the game's world exploration experience. During the next seven months, the team tried several prototypes. The idea of creating an open-world game came out of that. Genshin Impact began its development in January 2017 with the working title " 崩坏4." At that time, producer Haoyu Cai ( 蔡浩宇) considered creating a new project to enhance miHoYo's core research and development capabilities and present products with significant quality improvement to players in the future.

Humans that are granted Visions, magical gems that grant bearers the ability to command elemental power, are called " allogenes" - ones with the potential to reach godhood. A floating island seen in the sky is believed to be it, allegedly the home to gods and also mortals who have ascended to godhood. Apart from the seven nations, there was the nation of Khaenri'ah that lived independently from the authority of gods.Ĭelestia is the main heavenly body that presides over Teyvat and is in direct connection with The Seven. For example, the nation of Mondstadt is ruled over by Barbatos the Anemo Archon, and so the element of wind is an important symbol known by its people.
These nations are ruled over by deities known as Archons, part of a group of gods called " The Seven." Each Archon is associated with one of the seven elements of Teyvat, which are also reflected in their nation's landscape and culture. The story of Genshin Impact takes place in the world of Teyvat which is home to seven major nations: Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, and Snezhnaya. The Fishing system allows players to catch fish, which can be displayed in the Serenitea Pot, exchanged at each nation's Fishing Association for rewards, or processed into fish as a cooking ingredient. Dishes can regenerate characters' health, boost attack or defensive abilities, and decrease stamina consumption, while potions can increase a character's resistance against or damage for an element.įurther progression in the game unlocks the Housing system, known as the Serenitea Pot, in which players can create furnishings and place them in a realm layout, gaining access to rewards and level-up materials. Players gather many resources in the course of their adventure, some of which can be turned into dishes via cooking, and potions and Character Development Items via crafting. Once characters are properly geared, players can choose to enter the Spiral Abyss, a special type of Domain consisting of different floors of combat challenges.Ĭooking and crafting are other significant aspects of Genshin Impact 's gameplay. Players can venture inside Domains, temple-like instances scattered across the map, to complete the challenges within and obtain either one-time rewards or certain materials required for character development. Combining these elements using Elemental Reactions is encouraged to quickly defeat enemies. The Elemental Skill can be used at any time except for the cooldown period immediately after use, while the Elemental Burst has an Energy Cost, requiring the user to amass sufficient Energy first.Ĭharacters have control over one of seven natural elements: Anemo, Cryo, Dendro, Electro, Geo, Hydro, and Pyro. Single-player gameplay is the focus of the game, with Co-Op Mode available for certain activities.Įach character has two unique combat skills: an Elemental Skill and an Elemental Burst. The game features an action combat playstyle that allows the player to swap between 4 individual characters in a party to quickly combo attacks. Players explore the game's large fantasy world, called Teyvat, with over 60 characters and various points of interest spread across the map.
