who made genshin impact

Genshin Impact was made by the Chinese video game company miHoYo, which is now known as HoYoverse. The company, headquartered in Shanghai, began developing Genshin Impact in January 2017. The project was initially led by producer Cai Haoyu and involved a growing team reaching up to 700 people by early 2021. Inspired by games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the development cost exceeded 100 million USD but was quickly recouped after the game's release. HoYoverse has expanded globally with offices in multiple countries, supporting the game's ongoing development and worldwide popularity.
