Genshin Impact x Honkai Impact 3rd Cross-Over Detailed

Later this season, developer MiHoYo will implement the first crossover event between two of their major games – the mobile-exclusive RPG Honkai Impact 3rd and the open-world action-adventure platformer Genshin Impact. For this first crossover, it will be the characters and setting of Genshin Impact entering the world of Honkai Impact 3rd. This limited-time event will see Fischl be introduced in v4.9 as the game’s first archer, complemented by her own story.

In the behind-the-scenes video released alongside this announcement, the teams working on Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact will shed light on the backstory, the challenges during production, and the final presentation. In the video, the Genshin Impact team expresses their hope of promoting miHoYo’s quality content with this crossover, and the Honkai Impact 3rd team shares the toughest issue they faced was keeping Fisch’s identity while adapting her combat style.

Crossover fighter Fischl will be the first real archer in Honkai Impact 3rd. Unlike how she functions in Genshin Impact, her gameplay in Honkai Impact 3rd is built around weakspot aiming, which allows players to amp up the damage and hit feedback by aiming for the weakspots of enemies before firing. The team also updated the models, animations, and special effects of Oz to give Fischl a bigger presence and a unique charm.

Although there are no confirmed plans to make them playable, Keqing will also appear in the crossover story as the guide. She will be a special guest character that can be fully controlled in specific story battles on top of supporting players in the story. However, a crossover outfit for Theresa based on her will be obtainable in-game.

More details on this crossover event, including when v4.9 will go live on international servers, will be shared soon.
