The highly successful game developer HoYoverse plans to produce its own anime adaptations of Genshin Impact and other games, potentially excluding the previously announced collaboration with ufotable. With experience in multimedia promotion and government support, HoYoverse aims to turn Shanghai into a hub for film production, signaling a future of Chinese-made adaptations for Genshin and Honkai. While details are still unclear, HoYoverse has the means and motivation to create feature films based on its popular game properties, potentially reshaping the landscape of anime adaptations in the industry.

Despite earlier promises that anime studio ufotable would adapt the immensely popular video game Genshin Impact, reports about China's film aspirations show that game's developer, HoYoverse, intends to do in-house production for Genshin and its other games. This casts an air of doubt about whether the collaboration will happen at all. Nonetheless, it is natural, perhaps even expected, that China's entertainment juggernaut would handle its own anime.
