Despite the popularity of character skins or outfits in different video games, the popular free open-world game miHoYo had not fully made the leap towards this mode of monetization. Despite being over a year old, Genshin Impact I had only received two outfits, for Jean and Barbara, and the most recent update introduced two more, for Ningguang and Kequing. Now all of a sudden miHoYo announced special outfits for four more characters.
Through an official publication, they reported that they will release alternative outfits for certain Mondstat characters in Genshin Impact. You can see them next to the original outfits below for your comparison.
Jean, “the Knight of Dandelion” (Anemo)
Amber, “the Champion of Flight” (Pyro)
Rosary, “the Blessed Wicked” (Cryo)
Mona, “the Watcher of the Astros” (Hydro)
As you can see, these new outfits for Jean, Rosaria, Amber, and Mona – which may change in the final version – are based on the default outfits of those characters in Genshin Impact, but with slight modifications. They clarify that these suits will not replace the originals, but it will not be like that for everyone.
What is behind the creation of the new outfits and what does China have to do with it?
Thanks to the discussion about it on the game’s official subredditWe know that these sets will replace the original ones in China. The official communiqué for this country “promised 1200 Protogemas as an apology for the change.” Everything seems to point to that miHoYo wants to eliminate elements such as revealing costumes from the game, reducing the necklines and more suggestive parts of these appearances.
Although the changes made to Mona’s outfits in Genshin Impact They definitely improve it — that strange “bathing suit” was ridiculous — and the original for Rosaria didn’t seem like anything suitable for a nun, the changes made to Jean and Amber’s are minimal.
We will surely see changes for other characters like Yoimiya in the future. Fortunately, the original sets will not be eliminated and it is rumored that the new ones will be free or very cheap for this side of the world.. Anyway, we are very sorry for the players from China. No government should dictate how video games should be anywhere.
We will give you more information and release date on the new sets of Genshin Impact when it’s official.
