Genshin Impact has officially unveiled a new character, Hu Tao, the 77th director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, who is said to walk the line between life and death, “with responsibilities unknown to most mortals.” Completing the reveal isn’t just a teaser trailer for the character, but also a few details about Hu Tao.
Not much is known about Hu Tao at the time of publication other than what has been stated above. That said, most of the characters who have talked about Hu Tao have left a negative impression that paints the character as someone 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, not only are details about Hu Tao – which means Walnut in Chinese – is scarce, but we don’t know when she will come to the game. We know she is coming soon, but we don’t know exactly how soon. That said, despite not being in the game yet, she’s already cultivating a following, like all the characters added to the game.

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