Genshin Impact will launch globally on September 28, 2020 for PlayStation®4, iOS, Android, and PC. Servers will go live on September 28 at 10:00 AM (UTC+8).

Genshin Impact has been heavily inspired by Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but the game is so much more than a Zelda clone, as highlighted by Nate in his closed beta preview.

I wasn’t expecting that much from Genshin Impact, but I found myself surprisingly engrossed in its world, to the point I'm honestly rather sad I’ll have to stop playing when the beta ends. If a mixture of Breath of the Wild and Bandai Namco’s Tales series sounds interesting to you, or you just want something BOTW-flavored without buying a Switch, this game belongs on your radar. Sure, there are still some rough edges, and I’m a bit concerned about how the game will be monetized, but Genshin Impact left one on me.

Genshin Impact launches on PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android on September 28th.
