Genshin Impact’s monumental first year is a notable reason to be celebrating the game’s success. From its successful launch to reaching $2 billion in worldwide player spending on its mobile version, many dedicated travellers had eagerly anticipated what the developer had planned for its Anniversary Event.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, when the plans were announced, things took a turn for the worst as many were disappointed and enraged with the rewards available on offer. While many had pleaded with the developer to make concerted efforts before the event’s launch, this fell on deaf ears, sparking further outrage and the game getting review bombed<\/a> online.<\/p>\n

The statement continues, “We’ve been paying close attention to various feedback regarding Genshin Impact’s first anniversary. We’ve already come up with more celebrations, including the coming Genshin Impact online concert and thank-you gifts to express our gratitude for players’ support all the way along. The opinions and feedback from players and fans are really valuable to us, and we wish all fans will continue the adventure and collect more cherished memories in Teyvat.”<\/p>\n
