Natlan Is Genshin Impact's Last Chance

Version 5 of Genshin Impact and its accompanying region: Natlan is scheduled to release in late August, marking the fourth year of the game's release. But with how exhausted the playerbase is in regards to patience, along with all the new gacha titles coming out trying to compete with Hoyo, I wanted to talk about how this may very well be Genshin's last chance to maintain its dominance in the gacha world.

Genshin Impact was one of the most groundbreaking games of it's time... And then it refused to evolve further.

EDIT: Don't you people ever run out of opinions?

See you in 1 year for "Schneznaya is Genshin Impact's Last Chance"

[RareAngelz]

Welcome everyone to the bi-yearly last chance for Genshin! Grab your popcorn and shift through the comments as you listen to the video.

x.0, x.1, x.2: wait wait wait guys Genshin is actually pretty good?
x.3, x.4, x.5: genshin is stagnating, what went wrong, why genshin fell off
x.6, x.7, x.8: genshin is going to die, next region is their last chance

[sr.lontra]

It will never be Genshin's last chance
After the recent aniversary fiasco and the sales that followed it, there is NO HOPE of any pressure on hoyoverse. They're set for life. Forever profitable until the very end.

Bet title of video next year: Snehznaya is Genshin Last Chance

[whisper]

You can’t keep saying “this is Genshin’s LAST CHANCE” every region.

Genshin is too big to fail. It’s not going anywhere. The only thing that can kill it is if Hoyo stopped updating it, which they won’t.

[yanwsl]

Vars my mom listens to your videos because she finds your voice relaxing even though she knows nothing about genshin and barely any English I thought you had to know this

[jmesporlas]

This vid ignores a large portion of the fandom. The casual gamers who live their life and play the game when a big update comes out. Never terminally online or has no idea of any online discourse.

the thing is, i think genshin HAS improved in a lot of respects. the character models have continuously gotten better throughout the years. someone pointed out subtle differences in nilou's og outfit vs her skin that show how they're making the highlights in her hair and eyes better, and looking at the fontaine cast vs the mond cast, you can see how much their models improved. the exploration has gotten way better, and i think they learned from the sumeru desert, cuz in the 4.x patches less exploration was locked behind lengthy world quests. the writing has improved significantly, the archon quests have been amazing since sumeru, and i think all of the 4.x story quests were pretty good and none of them solely focused on a random npc rather than the character at hand. they've also finally been giving good qol updates. hopefully, natlan will be the nation where they finally start to add things to the combat system and give players who are really into that smth to work towards. better anniversary and lantern rite rewards would be nice too...

[destinycoordinator]

Well that's a dramatic title.

I get the point and somewhat agree with it in that Genshin has more pressure to innovate and add QoL updates than before, but the way this video phrases it sounds like it's on death's door when that's obviously not the case. Genshin losing relevance is very relative considering the heights it started at. It's simply not possible to maintain those kinds of heights. That doesn't mean you can't criticize outdated aspects of Genshin, but I think it's good to have a little more perspective.

[leleli]

ngl i snorted when i saw the title. y'all are saying this every year, i'd be tired already.

[Knabbinho]

I'm sorry but i will have to disagree with you.

version 4 was by far the BEST version of genshin impact we've ever seen. The characters were all amazing, the amount of QOL updates made the game 10x more bearable to play everyday, the archon quest was so fucking good, i cried during focalor's death (the first time i've ever cried in a game like genshin since final lesson), fontaine is an amazing region to explore.
Genshin is not going ANYWHERE, even with the drama about natlan's characters skin, this will be all forgotten and the game will still thrive, so no, natlan is not genshin impact's last chance, natlan is yet another success, even if it didn't launch yet.

[VirtualLoyalist]

Why is it so hard for some people to understand that those who sticks with Genshin likes it the way it is? Story and exploration are Genshin's focus since Day 1 and the continuously deliver on that. Thats why the main playerbase is happy, they're not just some addicts that cant quit.

In fact, it's the other way around. If Genshin hasn't been for you, why are you forcing it to be what it's not? You can find a game that suits your taste better but here you are, unable to quit the game. I think you are the real addicts.

Every new region has been Genshin’s last chance, and so far they succeeded every time. Despite Cai Haoyu being a greedy PoS I hope Genshin improves for the better of the players, not for the monetary gains

[tonyzhou]

Genshin's monthly active player has risen to about 65mil since Nov 2022 (also when I started) and the number hasn't moved significantly since then. Will it start falling eventually? Probably, but we are not there yet.

Edit: we are also at the end of version 4, which is usually when the popularity drops off a bit. It will bump up again when 5.0 starts, albeit not significant enought to change the whole trend. This is also why Hoyo released ZZZ off-peak as well.

You should be embarrassed to have accepted a sponsor that includes ai voices. Many of the genshin voices actors have said that they do not approve of their voices being used for ai voice acting or covers

Title: Natlan Is Genshin Impact's Last Chance

Snezhnaya being the last region: *Are we a joke to you?*

A lot of people "drop" other/new gatcha games but still play Genshin. Also, one thing that Genshin has that no other game has been recreate is its popularity with normal people. Genshin is so massive with people who never played a gatcha game before Genshin and still don't. I woul wager that there is a very large portion of the Genshin community that has never even heard of some of these gatcha games. And like you mentioned its all because of marketing and putting it on consoles. My wife has been playing Genshin for an even longer time than me and barley knows what HSR is let alone ZZZ or WuWa. Until a gatcha game puts in as much marketing and world building as Genshin there will never be a game that comes close to its appeal and success.

[plvto]

im sorry but im so fucking tired of people saying genshin is gonna die it's not. it's reached the popularity of something like fortnite where there'll always be new people picking it up or casual people not putting it down. people scream this literally every patch and it's getting frustrating. there is no last chance. maybe for a few select people, but they've proved that even over 4 years they don't have to add much to keep players invested.
