Crunchyroll promotes Genshin Impact 2.5 livestream on Twitter

miHoYo recently announced the 2.5 Special Program where developers will most likely talk about Yae Miko, new events, banners, and more.

The Special Program happens before every update, and is attended by thousands of viewers. For patch 2.5, it will begin at 7:00 AM (UTC-5) on February 4, 2022.

Interestingly, Crunchyroll also promoted the 2.5 livestream on Twitter which caught many fans by surprise. As a result, they started assuming if the American manga/anime distributor is collaborating with miHoYo.

Having said that, there are many fans who aren't keeping their hopes high. As it turns out, Crunchyroll has promoted miHoYo's action RPG on previous occasions as well. Moreover, their site covers a wide range of topics that aren't related to anime.

Leaked Genshin Impact promotional art might be from the upcoming anime series

It is worth noting that some promotional art images were leaked on Reddit. From Ayato to Raiden Shogun, many characters were a part of the images and it seems that a nerve-racking cut scene will be released soon.

As per prominent leakers like Ubatcha, Paimon and Kokomi will be a part of these scenes as well. This strengthens the possibility that miHoYo is working on a major twist in the storyline that will astonish the community.

As per some observant fans, the style in the leaked images doesn't match miHoYo's traditional style with cut-scenes and quests. They believe that they are not from an in-game cut scene, but from the anime adaption by Crunchyroll.

All the information mentioned above is purely based on speculation. Neither Crunchyroll nor miHoYo has opened up on a potential crossover, and to be fair, it is unlikely that such an event will take place anytime soon.
