Genshin Impact fans have been waiting a long time for updates on the game’s anime adaptation, first announced in 2022. And now Ufotable’s recent job listings mention Genshin Impact anime as one of their projects, showing that work is in progress. At the same time, HoYoverse is hiring animation screenwriters, which is another big sign that things are moving forward.
Let’s dive into what these updates mean for the much-anticipated Genshin Impact anime.
Ufotable’s Job Listing for Genshin Impact Anime
During Genshin Impact 3.1 Special Program on September 16, 2022, HoYoverse surprised fans with big news—an anime adaptation of the game. They teamed up with Ufotable, a famous animation studio, to bring Teyvat to life.
Along with the announcement, they dropped a three-minute concept trailer, showing off breathtaking locations like Mondstadt’s Statue of the Seven and the icy peaks of Dragonspine. Fans also got a glimpse of Aether, Lumine, and Paimon, making the hype even stronger.
But after that, things went quiet. For years, HoYoverse and Ufotable barely shared any updates, making people wonder if the project was delayed or even canceled.
Now, Ufotable has officially listed “Genshin Impact” as one of its ongoing projects in a recently posted job listing.
A Reddit user, SunSAndMoonSOf5, spotted this and shared it with the community.
Fans are excited again because this confirms the anime adaptation is still happening—no more worries about delays or cancellations.
With this update, it is clear that the collaboration between HoYoverse and Ufotable is actively progressing, keeping the project on track.
A lot of people think the series could dive deep into Teyvat’s history, bringing major events like the Archon War and the fall of Khaenri’ah to life. If that happens, it would be a huge treat for lore lovers, making the game’s world feel even richer.
Some believe the anime might drop once all seven regions in the game are complete. And since Snezhnaya, the last region, is expected around August or September 2025, the timing would be pretty perfect.
