HoYoverse: Genshin Impact
2024
Our friends at HoYoverse are rolling out “Natlan,” the newest map expansion for the beloved open-world adventure RPG Genshin Impact, and it's packed with vibrant landscapes and a roster of characters who can parkour, shark-surf, and show off crazy powers. They wanted to do something different this time around and push a more interpreted style, so we got in on the action with a teaser trailer that not only captures the excitement of the game, but mixes in a fresh, unabashedly art-forward look designed to shake things up and draw in a bigger crowd. Take a look at the final trailer, stills, and some early WIP designs.
