Genshin Impact officially unveiled a new character, Hu Tao, the 77th director of the Wangsheng Funeral Home, who allegedly walks the line between life and death. Completing the unveiling is not only a preview for the character, but also some details about Hu Tao.
At the time of publication, not much is known about Hu Tao as mentioned above. That said, most of the characters that have talked about Hu Tao have left a negative impression that portrays the character as one who cannot be trusted. In fact, a tweet from the game’s official Twitter account warns players to be careful with the character.

At the moment, details about Hu Tao – which means Walnut in Chinese – are not only scarce, but we also do not know when she will come to the game. We know she’s coming soon, but we do not know how fast exactly. That said, although she’s not in the game yet, she’s already cultivating a fan base, like all the characters added to the game.

Genshin Impact is available as a free game on PCs, PS4 and mobile devices. The game is also playable on PS5 via backwards compatibility, but at the moment it is the only way to play the game on PS5. Developer miHoYo has already confirmed that the game will be coming to PS5 and Nintendo Switch, but at the moment there is still no word on when these versions will be released.
