OnePlus 12R Crosses Over with Genshin Impact (Press Release)

The Binding of Isaac creator Edmund McMillen has offered a new update about his talks with Epic Games regarding a Fortnite collaboration. The potentialFortnite crossover has surprising but charmingly innocent roots.

Genshin Impact and Discovery Channel have announced the Teyvat Nature Discovery Tour, a joint initiative seeking to raise awareness about a number of fragile natural habitats. The collaboration comprises a Genshin Impact online event, an offline benefit sale, and a mini-documentary voiced by Game of Thrones star Kit Harington and several other celebrities.

Arlecchino’s entire animation reel in 4.6 has been leaked, showcasing what may be one of the coolest sets available so far. Aside from being the well-known Fatui Harbinger, also called The Knave, Arlecchino is one of the most anticipated playable characters in the game. She was leaked long before the release of Fontaine and, with the arrival of the Nation of Hydro, made her debut as an NPC. Now, Arlecchino’s release in 4.6 has been officially confirmed by developer HoYoverse, though details about how she operates are still scarce.

Genshin Impact has revealed a character demo for Chiori, showcasing her abilities, personality, and style. Genshin Impact has released a wide roster of characters over the course of its history, and Fontaine alone has brought several new favorites to the ensemble. From Neuvillette and Furina revolutionizing Hydro teams with new types of gameplay, to Xianyun bringing an entire niche into the mainstream. By contrast, Chiori is meant to be a more conservative addition to Genshin Impact, but that may not necessarily reduce her value.

It seems only fitting that Ghostbusters has become the movie franchise that refuses to die, returning for a smattering of so-so (at best) reboots and sequels on screen and elsewhere being relegated to another rich vein of nostalgia to be mined for cash. Speaking of, Destiny 2 is getting Ghostbusters cosmetics next week!

Genshin Impact has revealed a story teaser for Chiori ahead of Version 4.5, offering players a glimpse into the new character's no-nonsense personality. Originally from Inazuma, Chiori left for Fontaine to establish herself as a fashion designer and clothier. To navigate the cutthroat fashion industry in the Court of Fontaine, Chiori made ample use of her swordsmanship and blunt personality, and won the hearts of the Genshin Impact community during the Fontinalia Film Festival event in Version 4.3.

Genshin Impact could be adding mounts in the near future, as a recent leak from a reliable source hints that Natlan's overworld will make use of mounts as its primary exploration system. Ever since Inazuma, Genshin Impact has sought to add more ways to interact with the world. From the Waverider to the Four-Leaf Sigil, exploration is far more versatile than what it used to be at launch. Gliding is no longer the sole way to cross major distances, and the addition of underwater exploration in Fontaine has further diversified the experience.

A revolutionary new gameplay system for Natlan in has allegedly leaked, hinting at not only a new way to explore the game but also the sheer size of the upcoming region of Teyvat. Natlan is the Land of Pyro and the sixth major nation to be added to the live-service title by HoYoverse, following the release of Fontaine last year. Some details about Natlan’s release in are heavily rumored, while others have been leaked as the content is reportedly already undergoing tests.

Blizzard has announced Overwatch 2's newest collaboration, a crossover with the popular animeCowboy Bebop that begins on March 12 and brings skins, emotes, and more inspired by the franchise. One of the new Overwatch 2 skins can be unlocked for free by completing various challenges.

A Destiny 2 datamine suggests that the game could be crossing over with the iconic Ghostbusters franchise in the near future. Previously, Destiny 2 collaborated with the likes of Assassin's Creed, Arknights, God of War, and Ghost of Tsushima to name a few.

A recent revenue report reveals that Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail achieved impressive sales figures in February 2024. Both games run on a gacha system, which means that most of the revenue comes from players spending their real-life money to pull for limited characters and weapons.

A comprehensive Genshin Impact chart reveals five-star characters that haven't had a rerun banner for months. Genshin Impact's ever-growing roster features more than 40 coveted five-star units, which are the biggest selling points of the gacha-based RPG. These characters being obtainable for a limited time stirs up excitement amongst fans who have been waiting for them for quite some time.
