As Horizon Zero Dawn‘s Aloy steps onto the scene, let’s celebrate the gorgeous art of Genshin Impact cosplay!
MiHoYo has a marvel on its hands with 2020’s groundbreaking video game Genshin Impact. Colorful, dynamic, and charming, this game has it all and is free to play! With its stunning character dynamics and cinematic storytelling, the game has quickly risen to stardom in the video game lovers community.
This game has captured the hearts of cosplayers around the globe. With upcoming partnerships between other game companies and characters, we were very excited to see the partnership between MiHoYo and Guerilla Games—Horizon Zero Dawn‘s Aloy came to Genshin Impact!
Into the Chibi-Verse
Aloy was given the Chibi treatment and is a very exclusive featured character in the world of Genshin Impact. It is exciting to see the partnership between these studios, which shows that Horizon Zero Dawn will continue to be a major player in the video game world for a long time.
As fans of these properties, seeing game worlds mix and meld is an exciting time. Having my favorite character, Aloy, brought into the Genshin Impact world means that its fans will experience something I’m passionate about. It’s a gorgeous exchange of video game culture!
We have been celebrating the wide array of gorgeous Aloy cosplays for a long time now and are excited to see future crossover possibilities with Genshin Impact (and other games like Fortnite, where Aloy is featured). There are a myriad of cosplays floating about from the game, and today, we will celebrate some gorgeous works of art with these Genshin Impact Cosplays.
HendoArt has captured a whimsical quality with these images. The lighting is soft and ethereal, and her use of makeup and color adds a softness that looks like a fantasy novel cover.
