Become an expert explorer of the world of Teyvat, the fantasy setting of free-to-play RPG (role-playing game) Genshin Impact, with this unofficial guide to the wildly popular game.

Genshin Impact combines the mechanics of deeply immersive games such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild with gorgeous aesthetics and mythology from Japanese manga.

But there’s a lot for new players to pick up, with items, weapons, resources and quests to keep track of—and dozens of characters to collect. This unofficial book offers an introduction and guide to the game, explaining the less obvious aspects of its gameplay and profiling characters that will prove most useful to the player.

From brand-new players who don’t know their elements from their artefacts, to those who want to learn some new skills to help them succeed on their quests, this book is essential reading for anyone looking to dive into the world of Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact launched in September 2020 and was an immediate hit, making $3bn in its first year—the most successful launch in the history of computer games.
