The fan-made Genshin Impact 2nd Anniversary Party was nearly two hours long and was full of excellent animations. Some of the things shown in it could easily be mistaken as having been made by HoYoverse. The quality in some parts of the party was just that good. Here is the link to the full livestream: https://www.bilibili.com/festival/genshin2nd?bvid=BV1ZP411J7vN.

The degree of effort that went into the whole party really shows how much a portion of the fanbase genuinely loves Genshin Impact. Moreover, among the many clips displayed was one that involved the Fatui Harbingers, which can be seen in the video below.


Fan-made 2nd Anniversary video by Genshin Impact looks stunning

The above YouTube video shows the relevant Fatui Harbinger part from the livestream — the specific clip in question starts at 1:08. In it, Dies Irei chants begin as viewers witness a Hellfire Butterfly flying away in Snezhnaya. They can then see a chess montage of the former Archons losing their Gnoses.

The video then cuts to a wide shot of all Fatui Harbingers, followed by a short musical section detailing La Signora's backstory. Subsequently, viewers see some quick clips with the rest of the Fatui Harbingers with more dramatic music playing in the background. Surprisingly, this whole trailer is only a tiny part of a much larger livestream that's full of great clips and photos.


Other Genshin Impact 2nd Anniversary Party livestream highlights

The above Twitter video is another good example of how great the 2nd Anniversary Party livestream was. This particular tweet has already received over 5,000 likes, and this number is still rising.

There was a ton of great fan art created by the playerbase in relation to this community event. Some of the works showcased were good enough for people to confuse them with official artwork, with the above Twitter user even mistakingly calling one official art.

As good as the artwork and videos from the party were, it's vital to reiterate that the developers of the game did not create them. Passionate fans made everything shown here.

The community has really outdone themselves when it comes to expressing their love for Genshin Impact near its 2nd Anniversary. Naturally, some players might wonder what HoYoverse has planned for this joyous occasion. Unfortunately, not much information has been officially revealed on this front, but there will be some generous loot for Travelers to enjoy in Version 3.1.
