Once it is released, the players would enter a traditional anime world. This popular game could already be preloaded on PC, PS4, and iOS right now so players could get ready for the actual launch. Here are the dates you should know.

- 3 AM BST in the UK on Monday, Sept. 28

- 11 AM JST in Japan on Monday, Sept. 28

- 7 PM PDT in the US on Sunday, Sept. 27

- 10 PM EDT in the US on Sunday, Sept. 27

If you are located in the United States, this means that Genshin Impact would be accessible on the night of Sept. 27. If you want to play the game as soon as possible, then you need to stay up late.

Although the game is not yet launched, it is currently popular since it is a BoTW style open-world RPG with anime influences and elemental powers. The actual game itself is that one that needs to prove if it is really comparable with Breath of the Wild.

However, the game developers of the game declined the speculations, saying that even if Genshin Impact is similar in previews, the actual game doesn't mirror Breath of the Wild's structure.

Genshin Impact's developers said the game is not a "copycat"

Although Genshin Impact is compared with BoTW, its developers confirmed that their game is not a copycat of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, currently available on Nintendo Switch.

In an interview with FreeMMOStation, miHoYo clarified that they only used BoTW as their inspiration in creating the new game as an open-world RPG.

"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is one of the most popular and respected titles in the industry, and one which our staff hold in high regard," said the studio.

The developer added that it is very different from BoTW once gamers play the game. It explained that Genshin Impact would have multiple characters in a party and Musou-style gameplay.
