A Nintendo Switch version is currently in the works too, with a release date unannounced. The game is an open-world action-RPG with gachapon elements, and it has already proven to be quite the success on social media. 'This is a huge achievement not just for a Chinese developed game, but for a new original IP too.' Genshin Impact has been compared to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild due to its visual aesthetic and design. 'The game had more than 20 million pre-registrations prior to launch, of which more than 5 million were from outside China', explains Ahmad. Speaking to IGN, Daniel Ahmad, Senior Analyst at Niko Partners, estimates that the game has grossed $50 million in its first week, with the majority of that revenue coming from China, Japan, and the US.
