What language is Genshin Impact?

The developer of Genshin Impact is miHoYo, a Shanghai-based studio.

Therefore, the suggested language for the game is Chinese.

The reason behind it is that the quality is consistent for all voice actors.

Japanese is also a great choice as a language because Genshin Impact is anime-based.

However, if you want to know what the characters are saying, it is a wise decision to choose your native language.

Final Words

The language in Genshin Impact is a part and parcel of the game.

Since the developer of the game is a Chinese game studio, it’s highly recommended that you choose the Chinese voice-over language.

The two voice-over languages for recommendations are Chinese and Japanese.

However, if you want to understand what the characters are saying, you can choose English.
