Genshin Impact doesn't need an introduction; after all, it is one of the biggest names in the gaming community. Developed by miHoYo, the game was released in 2020, and since then, it has accumulated millions of downloads on both the mobile stores and on all the major gaming consoles and PC.
People who enjoy the game received surprising news about Genshin Impact getting an anime adaptation, which would be produced by ufotable, one of the biggest studios in the world. Unfortunately, the studio did not share any new updates with the audience, leaving many worried whether the anime had been axed. However, that has changed.
Genshin Impact Anime Is Coming
- A short segment for the Genshin Impact anime was shared on February 21
- The anime is part of ufotable's future projects
On February 20, 2026, ufotable shared a statement that said the studio would make an important announcement on the next day, i.e., February 21. When the time finally came, the studio shared a video on its YouTube channel, which included a lot of different projects, including Genshin Impact. There was a short segment in the video dedicated to the anime, proving that the project has not been scrapped. So, the Genshin Impact anime is coming, and it will be released in the coming years.
Sadly, ufotable has not shared a release date for the anime, meaning fans will have to wait longer to learn when they can start watching. Since it is classified under future projects, ufotable will likely share a date sometime later this year or maybe in 2027.
Ufotable Is Also Working On Other Projects
The Studio Is Working On Several Other Anime
ufotable is among the few studios in the world that never compromises on quality, so it's obvious that the Genshin Impact anime is going to be a spectacle. Aside from Genshin Impact, ufotable is also working on other projects, including Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Part 2 and the Katsugeki/Touken Ranbu movie.
Most people obviously know about Infinity Castle Part 2, as it is one of the most popular anime in the world. The first part of the movie trilogy was released in 2025, and it shattered all kinds of records. Following the movie's success, the staff will be more motivated than ever to create a sequel that is better than the first.
