Ufotable dropped a new promo reel for its “2026 and beyond” slate — and it includes a quick hit of fresh footage tied to the studio’s long-term “Genshin Impact” anime project.

TL;DR

It’s not a release date, but it is proof of life. Ufotable is still treating the Genshin anime as a “future project,” with details still locked up.

Key Details

• Studio: Ufotable
• What happened: A new promotional reel highlighting projects for 2026 and beyond
• The hook: Brief new “Genshin Impact” anime footage appears in the reel
• How it’s framed: Shown under “future projects,” with no release date announced in the coverage
• Big unknowns: Format (series vs movie), arc focus, and global distribution/streaming plans

Breakdown

Per GamesRadar and Famitsu, Ufotable’s new promo reel is basically a look ahead at what the studio is cooking for 2026 and beyond. That alone matters because Ufotable doesn’t tease lightly — when it shows something, it’s usually because it wants fans to remember the pipeline is real.

The headline here is the “Genshin Impact” part. Per GamesRadar, the reel includes brief new footage connected to the long-running Ufotable x Genshin anime collaboration that’s been quiet for a long stretch. Even a few seconds is enough to set the fandom off, because the biggest question has been simple: is this still happening?

The catch: it’s still labeled as a future project, and the coverage doesn’t attach a concrete window. So this is more “still alive” than “coming soon.”

What to Watch Next

• Any follow-up from Ufotable or HoYoverse clarifying format (series vs film)
• A real teaser/PV drop that’s specifically branded as “Genshin Impact” (not just a slate reel cameo)
• Staff/production credits surfacing (director, series composition, character designs)
