Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch - release date, trailers, features, current progress, more

Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch release date announcement is being anticipated by a lot of fans.

Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch

Genshin Impact, an open-world game by HoYoverse, debuted roughly two years ago in September 2020 and has since grown to become one of the most unparalleled and enormous hits around the globe. The game's pandemic-era debut window gave it the opportunity to gather a fan base of players seeking to connect digitally, and it brought in over one billion dollars in revenue in its first year of release.

From Mondstadt to Liyue to Inazuma, travelers are continuously discovering all that Teyvat has to offer. The game has connected its players to amass as many anime-inspired characters and weapons as they can.

Genshin Impact has won multiple awards for its popularity and is currently accessible to players on a number of platforms, including mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. Sadly, Nintendo Switch owners are still unable to access this game.

Due to similarities between the current Genshin game and Nintendo's venerable Legend of Zelda series, many Nintendo users are eagerly awaiting the release of the Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch version so they may experience the anime action game as well.

Genshin Impact on the Switch has yet to be published, as was already reported, despite apparently being in development. So, let's get into the details of the Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch release date, features, trailer, and other information that has been made public.

Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch release date

Let's begin with first thing first, "What is the Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch release date?"

There have been no updates or announcements regarding Genshin Impact's Nintendo Switch release date or its availability as of December 2022.

Genshin Impact will undoubtedly be released on the Nintendo Switch at some time, but Hoyoverse has not yet specified when. We were given a preview of what is to come back on January 14, 2021, in the Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch video, however, Genshin Impact Switch's release date is currently unknown.

The Genshin Impact Switch Version has been in development at HoYoverse for quite some time, and to be honest, it all started with the open-world JRPG's PlayStation, mobile, and PC versions. Well, Hoyoverse reiterated its commitment to porting the game to the Switch as recently as May 2022.

The worldwide PR specialist for Mihoyo, Xin Yang, verified this in a conversation with gonintendo.com shortly after receiving the inquiry and promised to provide more details on the release in the future. Genshin Impact, however, will be best played on the Switch, and this is undoubtedly the right time for it to be released there.

Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch trailer and pricing

If you are concerned about Genshin Impact's Switch release, you may rest easy knowing that HoYoverse exclusively shared the Genshin Impact Switch video on the game's official YouTube channel back in January 2020.

The reveal trailer confirms that the game will be available on the Nintendo Switch hardware even though it doesn't feature any actual Switch gameplay. It also gives fans a lovely glimpse at the stunning Teyvat universe and the game's main character.

We know nothing for certain, however, it is said that once the game is published on Switch, a Nintendo Switch Online Subscription will be necessary.

Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch development progress and delays

HoYoverse disclosed some fascinating insights about Genshin Impact Switch Version in another discussion with a famous news site, prior to the release of Genshin Impact 2.0.

Hoyoverse has not yet made any announcements regarding the Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch release date or potential delays. It can be assumed that hardware restrictions may be a problem given the size of the game and its update schedule.

Being a hybrid handheld/home console, the Switch is special because it has more power when docked. Some people also believe that Nintendo may have a problem with the game's microtransactions, however, this theory is less plausible given that there are microtransactions in other Switch titles.

Genshin Impact's Nintendo Switch version has been the emphasis of HoYoverse's work from the start, and since the game was intended to be cross-stage and cross-save from the start, it is inevitable that a Nintendo Switch version will be released eventually.

Although Genshin Impact's technical director Zhenzhong Yi earlier stated that the open-world JRPG with networking features was made with all stages in mind, the developers have not provided any recent updates on the Nintendo Switch version.

"Genshin Impact was continually conceived as a cross-stage game because we need to give players more opportunity on how and where they need to progress with their game," he stated.

He went on to say, "When we were planning Genshin Impact, we made certain that any new gameplay would not be heavily equipment dependent. As a result, gamers can experience the full and authentic Genshin Impact on any of the current stages."

Players should keep in mind, however, that these stages refer to PC, iOS, Android, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch, as HoYoverse previously stated that the company has no intentions for an Xbox release.

In addition, during an interview with the RPG Site, Sam Lai, the head of HoYoverse communications, provided the following update: "The Switch version of Genshin Impact is now in development. More details on Switch beta testing and release dates will be revealed at a later date."

Though this information is from the past, it does give an idea that fans will be able to get their hands on the Genshin Switch version at some point.

Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch gameplay features

On June 8, 2019, Genshin Impact made its debut, a few months after the manga's release. When Genshin Impact first came out, a lot of people said that it was a shoddy imitation of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

However, fans discovered a different design and features when Genshin Impact was released on PS4 and Nintendo Switch on January 14, 2020.

Also, it became evident to those that played the CBT after the pre-release of the Genshin Impact beta in 2020 that the game is nothing like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. So it seems that Genshin Impact Switch was the game's original intended name for the release.

For the time being, it appears that Nintendo fans will have to wait a bit longer while the development team works to optimize the game for the Switch. It's unclear whether any unique promotional events will run concurrently with the Switch launch, but we expect Nintendo fans to receive the same promotional freebies as other platforms.

This post has covered every aspect of the Genshin Impact Switch version's development. We currently have the Genshin 3.4 version coming closer to its release which seems to have a lot of new and exciting content. So, fans can look forward to that at the earliest.
