A Genshin Impact player fan has shared an impressive trailer for an anime short that features popular characters like Aether, Lumine, and Dainsleif. The game's community often likes to create their own fan-made videos which are inspired by the events that take place in the official lore.
At the start of each new playthrough, Genshin Impact players face a mysterious enemy currently known as the Sustainer of the Heavenly Principles. During this fight, they need to choose between Aether and Lumine to become their main character, who is also referred to as the Traveler throughout their journey.
A Reddit user named reverieMidnight has shared an interesting trailer for a fan-made anime short called "Gaze of the Abyss." The video got a lot of attention in the community as it attracted over 2.2k upvotes on the game's main subreddit, with multiple comments claiming that it could've easily been an official HoYoverse trailer. The video features Genshin Impact's most popular siblings, Aether and Lumine, in a fight against a mysterious character named Dainsleif who has already made multiple appearances in the game's main storyline. He belongs to the lost civilization known as Khaenri'ah, which was destroyed by Teyvat's gods hundreds of years before the game's timeline.
Dain used to be the captain of the Royal Guard in Genshin Impact, and despite being an extremely powerful character, he couldn't stop his region's downfall. Some fans have noticed that both Aether and Lumine have unusual eye colors meaning that they could be possessed by evil powers, which may be one of the reasons why they are fighting Dainsleif. Luckily, to find more information about this story, players will simply have to wait a couple of days since the post mentions that the full version of the "Gaze of the Abyss" anime short will be revealed during HoYoFair on September 23.
This is a recurring web event where Genshin Impact players share their own fan art to celebrate the game's anniversary. HoYoverse's most popular title was released back in September 2020, which means that this will be its third anniversary and, as per usual, players can expect various free rewards including precious Primogems.
Dainsleif is one of the legendary characters who is expected to join Genshin Impact's playable roster in the future. However, there is a high chance that Travelers will have to wait a couple of years before HoYoverse decides to finally feature Dain on a Limited Character Banner.
Genshin Impact is available now for Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
