Genshin Impact fans might soon enjoy the game on the go, as the announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 reignites excitement for a potential release.
Genshin Impact, the immensely popular action role-playing game developed by HoYoverse, has captivated fans worldwide with its expansive open-world and engaging elemental combat system. Released on multiple platforms except for the Nintendo Switch, the game’s absence on the popular portable console has left many fans hopeful for future inclusion.
The recent buzz around the Nintendo Switch 2 comes with promising improvements that could be perfect for Genshin Impact. With the Nintendo Switch page for Genshin Impact mysteriously disappearing, speculation grows about an impending announcement timed with the new console’s debut.
Nintendo’s President Shuntaro Furukawa hinted at the successor to the Nintendo Switch, stirring excitement with plans to announce the new console within the fiscal year. While details are scant, the new console is expected to build on its predecessor’s success, potentially offering enhanced hardware supporting more graphically intensive games like Genshin Impact.
Fans hoped the Switch 2 would sport significantly better hardware to handle games demanding more power. One player optimistically noted, “Genshin isn’t a super heavy game… it’s a cell-shaded Unity game. It will easily run on the Switch 2 with some custom optimization,” highlighting the potential for a well-tailored Genshin experience on the new console.
Despite Nintendo’s absence of official confirmation regarding Genshin Impact’s release on their platforms, the community clings to hope. The expectation is that the enhanced hardware of the Switch 2 will allow for a seamless Genshin Impact experience, mirroring or even improving the game’s performance on existing consoles and high-end mobile devices.
Moreover, fans are eager for the new possibilities that the Switch 2 could bring, such as exclusive content or collaborations akin to previous ones seen on other platforms, which might include unique character quests or special in-game items.
While the future remains uncertain, Nintendo’s innovative track record and HoYoverse’s expansive game updates could make Genshin Impact on the Nintendo Switch 2 a reality many eagerly await.
