Genshin Impact devs cover up the butts of characters in underwater

Genshin Impression acquired yet one more large replace on Tuesday night time with the debut of the water-inspired area of Fontaine. Though this patch will permit gamers to discover underwater worlds, characters received’t be rocking any cute seashore outfits. Developer Hoyoverse launched a brand new approach to censor the asses of its character and now even conservatively clothed males have their butts coated up.

Within the 4.0 replace, gamers will be capable of dive beneath the floor and discover the ocean surrounding Fontaine. The swimming itself feels nice, and it’s nearly like gamers get to fly by means of the encircling coral reefs and underwater caverns. The second you dive beneath the floor, characters butts’ will likely be blurred by a small round form that appears like bubbles. The small graphical impact seemingly serves one goal: to obscure the view of your character’s butt. You may view it beneath.

This TikTok accommodates a bigger compilation of different characters, if you wish to see different examples.

General, the bubble isn’t an enormous deal. I might barely discover it as I transfer from place to put and it goes away for those who transfer the digital camera round to the entrance. Nevertheless, it simply feels just like the impact simply appears… half-assed? The censor will get added to plenty of different characters, not simply the ladies sporting skirts or skimpier outfits. Even somebody like Bennett, who’s pictured in the primary picture, will get one and he wears cargo shorts and a fanny pack. Or there’s Zhongli, who wears pants and likewise has flowing sashes that cowl his again, and he will get the bubble as properly.

Polygon reached out to Hoyoverse to ask questions in regards to the bubble diaper and can replace the article as we hear again.

Whereas it’s unclear why characters with full fits and cargo shorts nonetheless want the bubble, the addition is smart for a number of causes. Genshin Impression is a worldwide industrial success and taking a extra conservative strategy with character design could make the sport accessible to extra areas. In winter of 2022, the builders launched a number of alternate, extra conservative, outfits of characters within the sport. Moreover, followers have critiqued the sport for the boob jiggle physics of characters like Lisa. This might simply be a safer strategy, since swimming underwater opens up new angles.

As for the boys, properly, there has by no means been that a lot to see so it’s not like that little bubble is hiding a lot. Lots of them, like Zhongli or Ayato have their butts coated up by their outfits. Kaveh was hailed as having an incredible butt, however I might kindly disagree and simply assume his Imaginative and prescient was doing quite a bit for his butt in that scene. After which there’s Kaeya, who I personally love, however has spaghetti legs.

R.I.P. to all of the flat asses of Teyvat. Could you ceaselessly be coated by a tiny little bubble filter.
