This problem directly affects millions of Russian-speaking players around the world, for whom Genshin Impact has become their favorite game. Despite the huge and loyal audience from Russia and the CIS countries, we are still unable to fully immerse ourselves in the epic world of Teyvat.

The lack of Russian dubbing forces us to play in foreign languages, which creates an insurmountable barrier. It becomes impossible to fully immerse ourselves in the plot: instead of enjoying the beauties of Teiwat at key moments, we are forced to be distracted by reading subtitles. We are deprived of the opportunity to feel an emotional connection with the characters through their voices, which devalues the delicate work of the scriptwriters and animators. The charisma, irony, drama and tenderness of our beloved characters reach us only partially, through the prism of someone else's language. We feel like second-class players compared to communities for which developers have long provided full-fledged voice acting.

This is disrespectful to our contribution and love of the game, because Russian-speaking players make up, albeit not the largest, but a very significant and active percentage of the gaming community, and Russia consistently ranks among the top regions in terms of engagement and revenue. And here we come to the key argument: adding Russian dubbing is a strategic investment that will lead to increased profits. Deeper involvement in the story and a strong emotional attachment to the characters directly affect the willingness of players to support the game. A satisfied, caring audience is a loyal audience willing to invest in their gaming experience.

If the situation remains the same, it will continue to distance a huge layer of the community from the full-fledged gaming experience. Many players, especially new ones, may leave the game, unable to understand its history due to the language barrier. Conversely, the appearance of high-quality Russian voice acting will be a powerful step towards us. This will not only increase the loyalty of millions, but also significantly expand the community, making the game truly accessible to a wider audience, including those who do not speak other languages. Russian-speaking streamers and content creators will receive a powerful tool for growth, further strengthening the ecosystem of the game.

We need to act right now, because the game world is expanding towards cultures that are close to us. The Nod-Krai region has emerged, and on the horizon is the long — awaited Snezhnaya, whose prototype is clearly Russia and Slavic folklore. It is absurd and extremely disappointing that in these regions we are forced to hear Russian names, names and folklore motifs distorted by English interpretation. This not only deprives the atmosphere of authenticity, but also looks like a direct disrespect for the culture that inspired the creators. Our language and our culture deserve to be properly represented in the game – through professional dubbing, based on the rich traditions of the Russian school of voice acting, known worldwide for its quality and depth.

We understand that the amount of work is huge. Therefore, we propose a reasonable and modular approach. We don't require you to re-sound the entire game in one day. Start with new content: Archon Quests, events, and most importantly, the upcoming Snezhnaya region. It will be a landmark gesture. Then, gradually, you will be able to add voice acting for key tasks from previous regions. We are ready to wait and support this process, seeing consistent steps in the right direction.

We believe in HoYoverse Studio and its ability to create great content. We have proven our dedication and activity. Now it's your turn to take a step forward.

Add Russian voice acting to Genshin Impact! Give millions of players the opportunity to truly hear and love Teyvat.
