miHoYo announced today that there is going to be a crossover event between two of their most popular franchises: Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact!
The crossover event is due to take place this summer during Honkai Impact 3rd’s version 4.9 update. The update will add Genshin Impact’s Fischl to the Honkai Impact 3rd’s roster as the game’s first-ever archer!

She will be a special guest character that can be fully controlled in specific story battles on top of supporting players in the story. The crossover outfit for Theresa will be obtainable in-game.
Honkai Impact 3rd is set in a modern world corrupted by the mysterious energy known as [Honkai].
