Genshin Impact gets hit with censorship – but at least we get some free skins - Get2Gaming

Censorship has finally claimed Genshin Impact, and several characters will be getting alternate outfits.

Yes, Genshin is getting censored. This has been happening to many games in China as part of a cultural crackdown. But don’t fret too much – for global servers, the characters will retain their original outfits. It seems these ‘alternate outfits’ will be available as well on global servers as a (most likely free) skin. I think censorship is always more than a shame, but I do really like Rosaria’s redesign in particular.

I’m not such a fan of the other ones, though. I like the Jean one, but it’s not as nice as her original, which I feel fits the vibe of Mondstadt much better. As one of the first characters you meet, she is one of the main faces of Genshin Impact, so it is a little sad! Amber hardly looks different, I can’t tell honestly.

I am wondering if more characters will be getting a redesign. The timing is also unfortunate, with the new Ningguang skin that is a little on the spicey side on its way. I wonder if this will also be changed for China’s servers?

While this won’t affect global fans for now, this probably means we will be seeing more conservative designs in future, as there’s no real reason for MiHoYo to design new characters twice. I don’t really mind the covering up, as some certain players are rather disrespectful about the female characters. However, the censoring also comes from misogynistic ideals. So we can’t really win here.

I do feel a bit sorry for the playerbase in China, as we’ve grown attached to the way the characters look at the moment. Also, my hopes of a spicier male character have been dashed. At least there’s Itto. Who needs shirts?
