Exciting news has emerged in the “Genshin Impact“, which reveal that an animated short film entitled «The road not taken». The announcement generated a wave of reactions and speculation among fans, who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of this new content.

While this isn't the first time HoYoverse has released an animated short, this particular reveal focuses on the game's two protagonists: twins Aether and Lumina, who have never had a special role in the shorts until now. Information surrounding the short is pretty scarce at the moment, but it's expected to delve deeper into the brothers' backstory, detailing both their past lives and their mysterious current circumstances.

There is also no additional information available regarding the release date of the said short, but it is expected to be published in a week or two on the game's official YouTube channel. While the information is appreciated, the silence surrounding Ufotable's anime adaptation is certainly disappointing. It's been over a year since its official announcement, and fans were hoping that there would be some announcement about it by now.

It should be noted that the project announced by Ufotable at the time was described as “a long-term collaboration”, and it is understood that it involves the studio also producing several Genshin Impact animated shorts. However, the silence on whether there will be an anime series has been suffocating, as many users on social media take advantage of the lack of information to launch “fake leaks” in order to gain interactions.
