Genshin Impact 2026 New Year Fan Celebration Delivers One Hour of Music, Animation, and Original Works

The 2026 Genshin Impact New Year Fan Celebration brought together an extraordinary lineup of community creativity, featuring over one hour of music performances, animations, original songs, and themed artistic shows that celebrated the spirit of the game’s world of Teyvat. The special fan event aired on platforms like bilibili, giving global Travelers a chance to enjoy a packed stage of entertainment dedicated to the franchise’s thriving creative community.

• One of the show’s featured pieces was “God of Wealth Arrives,” a celebratory performance that likely drew inspiration from New Year traditions and Genshin Impact’s Lantern Rite spirit. The fan event also showcased “刻于晴空之上” (“Engraved in the Clear Sky”) by 麦粒太太-Ver-, a musical creation that set a powerful tone for the celebration. Another highlight was 「兹白三迁」 (Zi Bai San Qian) by -万根韭菜, delightfully nodding to the popular Genshin character Zibai, whose popularity has grown within the community.

• The celebration continued with 「明天」 (“Tomorrow”) by VIA石楠, praised for its amazing illustration quality as much as its original composition. Creative storytelling blended with musical performance made this piece stand out. 「仙契同尘」 (“Immortal Contract With the Normal World”) also added to the lineup with its thoughtful artistic expression.

• The event didn’t stop there. Fans enjoyed “Teyvat Academy of Magic”, a themed Lantern Rite portion that fused Genshin’s fantasy school motif with festival celebration, bringing a magical twist to the New Year festivities. Another crowd favorite was the original track “ACE LADY” by iKz_茶壶, a song inspired by Lauma and Nefer, capturing character dynamics and original storytelling through music.

• In keeping with the variety of themes, 「智斗！红包头脑战！」 (“A Battle of Wits! A Brain-War Over Red Envelopes!”) by 艾尔十六 added an entertaining and competitive flair, while 「千花翩跹之舞」 (“A Thousand Flowers Dancing”) by 超想吃番茄 brought graceful musical artistry to the event. Fans were also moved by 「荧妹归家记」 (“Little Sister Lumine’s Homecoming”) by 雪之岚と异端丶, weaving a sentimental narrative through melody and visuals.

• The celebration even included classic holiday spirit with Silent Night by @MiotaWorks, adding a cozy wintertime touch to the showcase. Another deeply imaginative performance, 「创世·灭亡·再推演」 (“Creation, Destruction, and Re-deduction”) by team Hamelin 哈米伦的弄笛者, explored cosmic and philosophical themes through music and animation.

• Next we have「我们的旅途」 (“Our Journey”) by 零时钟点工, an adorable original song capturing the camaraderie and shared memories of Travelers across Teyvat. With an hour of fan-created music, storytelling, and animation, the New Year celebration highlighted the passion and creativity of the Genshin Impact community, offering a festive experience that extended well beyond in-game content.

• Among the featured works was “阿乔的恶作剧大冒险” (A Qiao’s Prank Adventure!) by 小强凌凌柒, a lively animated short that captured playful chaos and comedic timing. Its exaggerated expressions and fast paced storytelling made it an instant highlight within the lineup.

• Another standout was “罗莎莉亚想睡觉！奔逃大闹蒙德城！” (Rosaria Wants to Sleep! She Runs Away and Wreaks Havoc in Mondstadt!) by 瓶装白矮心, which humorously reimagined Rosaria in an over the top scenario across Mondstadt. The animation leaned into slapstick energy, turning a simple desire for rest into a city wide frenzy filled with visual gags and rapid action sequences.

• Comedy continued with “芙芙饿的没办法，一块蛋糕骗回家” (Fufu Was So Hungry That She Had No Choice but to Be Tricked Into Going Home With a Piece of Cake) by 中天Mifirma, a lighthearted short centered around food and mischief. Its charming art direction and playful narrative tone made it one of the more adorable segments of the celebration.

• The event also featured “水煮黑背鲈！原神老玩家大战博士！” (Black Back Perch Stew! Genshin Impact Veteran Player vs. Dottore!) by 特效小哥studio, an energetic parody blending culinary themes with an exaggerated showdown involving Il Dottore. The short playfully referenced veteran player experiences while delivering dynamic effects and comedic battle choreography.
