AnElden Ringmod brings the colorful characters ofGenshin Impactto the Lands Between. While the setting of Teyvat and its world-hopping protagonist lend themselves well to the idea of showing up in other game universes, the dramatic clash between the art directions ofGenshin ImpactandElden Ringproduce a fascinatingly bizarre image. It’s no secret thatGenshin Impact’s visuals are inspired by anime, which makes its characters stand out amid the more realistic and gloomy environments of FromSoftware’s latest Soulslike.
Elden Ringmods that adaptGenshin Impactcontent are surprisingly numerous, as many creators in theElden Ringcommunity have successfully ported over characters such as Fischl or Eula, allowing fans the ability to roam the Lands Between while playing as their favorite champion from Teyvat. Given the flexibility ofElden Ring’s class system, building their Tarnished to closely match theGenshin Impactcharacter isn’t an entirely fruitless endeavor.

While Chinese censorship laws prohibit any kind of visuals that depict ghouls, skeletons, or even blood, HoYoverse has deftly managed to weave in darker elements throughoutGenshin Impact’s lore. The recent video showcasing theElden Ringmod sparked a renewed expectation from players that HoYoverse wouldn’t shy away from the less glamorous aspects of a steampunk setting.
