Genshin Impact has been a huge success since its launch on consoles, PC and mobile. The game is also initially coming to Nintendo Switch in 2020. However, we’re now well into 2022 and haven’t seen any signs of macha gaming on handheld consoles.
It’s been a while since we’ve received any updates from miHoYo, so the folks at GoNintendo took the initiative to ask miHoYo if fans should still expect to see this free game on Nintendo Switch. Needless to say, they didn’t get very far in terms of any concrete or exciting answers. However, we do know that the effort to bring Genshin Impact to the Nintendo Switch isn’t over yet.
Given the lack of mention of the Nintendo Switch in the recent Genshin Impact press, fans are starting to get a little worried that Genshin might not be coming to the Switch after all. The neglect of the Nintendo Switch was corrected when the video description was updated to mention it, but the damage has already been done for worried fans.
That being said, GoNintendo reached out to miHoYo’s PR to ask what the deal was. MiHoYo Global PR Director Yang Xin shares “The Switch Edition” [of Genshin Impact] Still in development, we’ll post more information as we develop further. “
How much does it actually take to bring a game to the Nintendo Switch? we do not know. We’re also no closer to finding a release date or window for it. It’s good to know that sooner or later we’ll see Genshin Impact coming to the Nintendo Switch. However, after two years without an update in development, I still find myself lacking hope of playing Genshin Impact on my Switch anytime soon.
I think I’ll stick to collecting Primogem on PC for now. At least we’ll have a new banner soon, hopefully!
