Genshin Impact: Fans play a birthday congratulatory video for Venti in Times Square and Shanghai

Many Genshin Impact fans around the world are celebrating Venti's birthday in a grandiose manner to show their love for him. They have made billboards and congratulatory videos for the Anemo Archon, which can be seen in several major places like New York City, Toronto, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.

The above post by GenshinUpdate shows the exact running time for Venti's birthday video on the digital screens of New York Times Square. Here is the complete schedule of the screenings:

The video is supposedly five minutes long and is planned to be played only four times over two days. Genshin Impact fans who are residing in NYC can go and check them out before they are gone.

At the same time, Shanghai is also celebrating Venti's birthday by playing congratulatory videos in the People's Square Subway Station of Jiang'an District. According to GenshinUpdates, there is no exact schedule, but the video is planned to be played 120 times a day starting from June 16 till June 22. This means it will be replayed 840 times during an entire week.

That said, compared to its NYC counterpart, this celebratory video is only 15 seconds long.

A Genshin Impact fan from Korea also decorated their entire cafe with Venti goodies. They filmed a short 25-seconds-long clip to give a tour of the location as shown in the above post. One can see that the owner placed many posters, mini-figures, and other merchandise to create a Venti-themed cafe.

All players must have also received a special mail from HoYoverse to celebrate the Anemo Archon's birthday, along with a few in-game items such as 10 Dandelion Seeds and a dish called A Buoyant Breeze.
