Genshin Impact April Fools’ Video Stars the Abyss Lector

The official Genshin Impact Ella Musk Twitter account shared an April Fools’ Day video starring a specific Abyss Lector. The joke trailer is set up in such a way to suggest that the Abyss Lector: Fathomless Flames: Treasures in Texts is an upcoming character. This marks the return of a notable NPC from the From Dusk to Dawn in Byakuyakoku quests.

Editor’s Note: The Genshin Impact April Fools’ Day 2022 video features spoilers for the Enkanomiya area’s storyline.

Here is the new video starring Abyss Lector from the Genshin Impact Enkanomiya area. At the end of the video, it suggests that the game’s name would change to “Abyss Impact” as a result of his success.
