The title development team exposes the differences between their project and Nintendo’s work. They recognize that it was a source of inspiration.
Genshin Impact is now available for free worldwide for PS4, PC and mobile devices under a free to play business model. Chinese studio miHoYo, after the successful Honkai Impact 3rd on iOS, Android and computer, is now facing its first major project with a version for consoles, an Action RPG whose artistic commitment is reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Despite being very different in playability, the development team has not hesitated to explain their essential differences to FreeGameTips.
“The essential thing is to play with several characters and use elemental reactions in battles”
In a digital encounter with this medium, the Genshin Impact team assumes that “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a popular and respected product in the industry, and our developers also have a lot of respect for it.” Not surprisingly, a year ago they wrote to their players to let them know that “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was one of our sources of inspiration at the beginning of the project. It inspired us to develop this open world action RPG, Genshin Impact. “

But they insist: they have nothing to do with it. “However, we have to mention that, after experiencing it for yourself, it is evident that Genshin Impact is completely different from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.” For this reason, they recommend downloading the game and experiencing it on our meats.
Finally, miHoYo adds that “Genshin Impact has its own original characters and story, and a game mode where the essential thing is to play with various characters and use elemental reactions in battles. Therefore, we hope that after the release on September 28, all players will experience Genshin Impact for themselves to realize its uniqueness and have fun in the game.
Genshin Impact can be downloaded for free on any of the available platforms, PS4, computer and smartphones. We explain here how to download it. You can find out about the future plans of the study and the difficulties they encountered during development here.
