The action adventure game Genshin Impact is getting a closed beta test for mobile and PC on March 19, 2020. With this news, a new gameplay trailer has been published to give a glimpse of what to expect in the beta test. 

While no beta has been announced for the Switch at this time, the gameplay in the announcement trailer still gives a good idea on what to expect in the Switch build. 

The full trailer is available to view below.

Genshin Impact currently has a tentative release date of Spring 2020 for all systems. 

 

The Long Journey Home saw an eShop release back in September, but German retailer Netgame has a listing for a tangible release. While there is no cover art available or other information of note,  these types of listings usually precede an official announcement. We’ll keep our eyes open in search of a publisher as well as for other information.
