Genshin Impact Switch Coming Soon? Check Out the Facts!

The news about Genshin Impact Switch has been widespread since 2020. Everyone seems to be impatient waiting for the benchmark game that can be played, not only on the smartphone ecosystem (iOS/Android), but can be accessed cross platform.

However, the presence of Genshin Impact on the Nintendo Switch platform itself seems very imposing and difficult to compete with. The reason is, this game is designed to rival the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BOTW).

Maybe on that basis too, even though after three years they announced their presence on the Switch platform, there has been no recent news when this game will penetrate the Nintendo market.

Will Genshin Impact be able to compete with BOTW's dominance as the game that inspired it? Is there a winning position that the “ripped-off” game might have?

Genshing Impact: BOTW Mobile Version?

Developed by a developer and publisher from China named miHoYo, this game was first released in 2020.

Even though Genshin Impact exploded more in the mobile space, this game can also be found on Windows and PlayStation 4.

So far, Genshin Impact has taken advantage of the 'exclusivity' gap of the Zelda lineup by presenting similar gameplay on a wider platform market.

But when he entered the Switch, it was a sign that they had to play in the opponent's "cage".

Besides that, the selling point of Genshin Impact is also in the various playable characters. Each character has unique skills and specialties that can be combined to create a playing aesthetic.

They are also actively updating and developing their games regularly. This is done especially on mobile platforms, so they can compete in the industry model there which tends to be very dynamic.

And the last added value of this game is the free to play accessibility that they have. Players don't need to pay anything to play it. miHoYo prefers to use micro-transaction schemes in seeking profits.

Can BOTW Be Contested?

BOTW itself is a game that pioneered the subtle nuances of the open-world genre. Their success then became a new standard for the world gaming industry.

This can be seen by the standardization of the game as Game of the Year 2017 by many parties. With the many prestigious titles he has won, he certainly rivals BOTW in Indonesia Nintendo Switch not a wise choice.

It didn't just stop there, the big name BOTW was even able to make a significant contribution in boosting sales of the console.

Many people are willing to spend and buy a Switch just because they want to satisfy their curiosity about the sensation of the adventures of Link, the main character.

And it doesn't just stop there. Even though they already have the console, players can't immediately download and play it just like Genshin Impact.

Players need to buy the game with a price range of half a million. Not to mention the DLC (update), where for every downloadable content, players again have to pay a fee.

But with all these sacrifices, BOTW is still able to attract the interest of many people and become one of the most enjoyed games today. It's no wonder that miHoYo often thinks twice about releasing Genshin Impact on the Switch.
