“Creating music for Genshin Impacthas always been an endless exploration for me and the HOYO-MiX team,” says Yu-Peng Chen. “In the past year, as Inazuma and Sumeru unfolded, we've strived to enrich the Genshin Impactmusic with inspirations drawn from all over the world. I'm excited to see how these soundtracks resonate with musicians and players across the world.”
Shiro SAGISU also expressed his excitement about this collaboration.
“The original Genshin Impactsoundtracks fitperfectly into the actual in-game scenes and ambiance, and also provide much to imagine beyond the game,” says Shiro SAGISU. “Together with the HOYO-MiX team and global artists, we've tried different touches to the music, weaving elements of pop music, rock, and jazz into it. Hopefully, we can create a refreshing and fun experience for the players.”
