Hoyoverse is continuing its symphony concert series with “Melodies of an Endless Journey,” a performance celebrating Genshin Impact’s two year anniversary. You can watch the concert’s global broadcast on Genshin Impact’s YouTube channel on Oct. 2 at 12:00 (UTC+8). The 75-minute performance will feature renditions and live adaptations of the game’s most iconic tracks.
Storied music producer and composer Shirō Sagisu (whose work includes soundtracks for Neon Genesis Evangelion and Bleach) will serve as the concert’s music director. He will be working in partnership with the Hollywood Chamber Orchestra and various folk musicians. Eímear Noone (whose credits include World of Warcraft, Overwatch, and Diablo III) will serve as conductor.
