Genshin Impact’s Orchestral Soundtrack Is Unbelievably Good

Genshin Impact’s online concert last Sunday was a nonstop series of bangers, but the game really didn’t need one to convince me that it has one of the best video game scores I’ve heard in the past several years. So even if you’ve never played Genshin, I’d still like you to experience some of the incredible tunes that I’ve been listening to in and out of the game over the past year. For those who don’t want to sit through an hour-long concert (understandable), I’ve picked out seven tracks that encapsulate the setting of Genshin Impact.

Every time I wander around the fantasy world of Teyvat, I’m getting an earful of world-class orchestras. Literally. The Genshin soundtracks are composed by music director Yu-Peng Chen, but most of the music is performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, and the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra. The complete collection of Genshin music spans four main albums that encompass three major world regions and their major plot beats. The concert was made up of tracks from the Mondstadt and Liyue regional albums, in addition to several character-specific themes.
