The previously teased Genshin Impact animated short “The Road Not Taken” has been released on the game’s official YouTube channel.
The visually beautiful three-minute-plus short focuses on Aether and Lumine, the twin siblings who get separated at the start of the game and serve as the two main protagonist options. Some shots show the twins at the same location but at different times, and for extra emotional impact, the accompanying song, which is sung by Aimer, features lyrics like, “I’m never really lost/Our paths will surely cross.”
miHoYo is also hosting a giveaway where those who follow the official Genshin Impact X (Twitter) account and retweet its “The Road Not Taken” post stand a chance to win a “Spark Knight” Klee 1/7 scale figure (one winner), a Ganyu Plenilune Gaze Ver. 1.7 scale figure (one winner), or US$30 Amazon gift cards (10 winners).
“The Road Not Taken” was released following the Version 4.7 Special Program livestream, which included mention of a new Archon Quest titled “Bedtime Stories” where Aether and Lumine will meet “face-to-face.” Among 4.7’s other new additions are the characters Clorinde, Sidewinne, and Sethos.
