New "Quest Overview" Interface Goes Live Alongside the New "Recollection" Feature

Dear Traveler, Version "Luna IV" arrives tomorrow (January 14)! Alongside new content, this update introduces a new "Quest Overview" interface, and you'll now be able to replay cutscenes directly in-game at any time. Let's take a look together!

I can finally rewatch "A Space and Time For You" in EN cause Aether & Lumine's VAs were on strike back then.

Shaula-Alnair2026-01-13 05:18

Yes! I also can't wait to see Durin's birth with Albedo and the rest properly voiced!

ResurgentClusterfuck2026-01-13 05:46

Yes, I want to hear that myself since I play all updates ASAP

Kishi_yu2026-01-13 05:32

Is that quest voiced in EN now?

JunkKnight2026-01-13 05:41

The quest is voiced, but not the pre-rendered cutscene's afaik.

Hageshii012026-01-13 05:43

The Chess weekly boss also still isn't voiced even until today. Keep waiting for them to update it.

JunkKnight2026-01-13 05:49

Probably because that's also pre-rendered. I'm only guessing, but I'm assuming they'd need to encode and redistribute the video files for them which is more work then just adding in some missing lines to the next version update.

Honestly, who knows though, hoyo is totally inscrutable when it comes to stuff like this.

Kishi_yu2026-01-13 05:50

Sorry I'm kinda stupid but what is pre-rendered cutscenes? Is it the quest cutscenes you mean? So those aren't voiced yet?

ngngye2026-01-13 07:03

You know how characters look a little blocky and have to turn fully before walking away? That’s an in-engine cutscene, meaning that the game is using the location around you to play out a cutscene. This means that certain effects/objects, like Lauma’s skill or dendro cores, can stick around while characters walk and talk.

Certain other scenes, like Rerir and Columbina performing an Ace Combat dogfight or the lantern rite montages, are all fully animated scenes with no assets from the game used. This is what they mean by pre-rendered.

Kishi_yu2026-01-13 07:04

I see!! Thank you for this ❤️

Red_Android2026-01-13 06:13

Just did Paralogism today! Albedo, Jean and a few others were still unvoiced through the whole quest

Graknight2026-01-13 05:02

Took them long enough. Now 'Delete Resources' for PC please.

xd_ZelnikM2026-01-13 13:26

Rip storage until then ☠️

Starkeeper_Reddit2026-01-13 05:02

maybe cutscene replay will get them to finally add the traveler voices to the natlan final boss cutscenes 👀

meove2026-01-13 05:43

please hoyo, that was epic cutscene but spoiled by no voice

BobTheGodx2026-01-13 05:44

I'm still waiting for them to finally add pyro Traveler voice lines. It's the only reason I'd use Traveler and only having his NA be voiced is sad.

AmethystMoon4202026-01-13 10:59

Also Paralogism and A Space and Time for You. Those cutscenes are also not updated yet.

THIS MIGHT ALSO MEAN new Paimon has redubbed the old cutscenes? 👀🙏

WisconsinWintergreen2026-01-13 19:41

I've also heard that Kinich is still unvoiced for that cutscene as well

geigerz2026-01-13 05:16

wow so useful a straight line with all the quests with little ramifications..

years to add such simple stuff, I wonder if genshin truly is spaghetti code or you all are simoly laughing while pocketing billions with little effort

herminihildo2026-01-13 05:29

It may look simple but there's probably a lot under the hood. There was a time that quests were blocked and even locked out due to a character's placement.

DepressedAndAwake2026-01-13 05:31

This was a thing added to ZZZ, their newest game, after launch. It's something they are adding to all their games. I swear gacha players just find reasons to be miserable.

DragonEmperor2026-01-13 07:16

It's also been in HSR for a while, its genuinely nice seeing where quests take place in lore.

DepressedAndAwake2026-01-13 07:42

Yeah, having a timeline of events is literally never a bad thing. It makes aspects of the story make more sense and give context for others.

Ecstatic-Source60012026-01-13 05:37

well it was their first game on this framework.

I bet code smell a little.

Ofc it much easier to make other games when you know how to build systems already but in genshin case it was pioneer at this field.

Ichi_00012026-01-13 06:00

tbf, genshin was way more ambitious than their previous projects so technical limitations are understandable. They learned a lot from genshin, which is why their later games don’t really have QoL issues

Jnliew2026-01-13 06:06

Considering the things they've been investing inside and outside of their games (and the confirmation by Dawei of a "Genshinland" in Shanghai from GenshinFes 2026 just 2 weeks ago), I really do not think they're "pocketing billions"

As for spaghetti code, who knows. Mihoyo games are relatively very stable and bug free (compared to most games being released), so it can't be that bad

One major example of coding difficulties that we publically know of would be the teapot

Here's something I wrote two years ago:

>"With how in one dev announcement back in July/August 2023, they announced that they were working on claim all for expeditions, forging and furniture, and the expeditions and forging was done for 4.3, December 2023. (only took one patch)

> Meanwhile, it took until next patch, 4.6, April 2023 that furniture claim all will be released (along with the other improvements).
The teapot, with quite a few patches they've done to it (remember the [teapot maintainence](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/s/KxxhbuSXFq) that went from a week or two into a 2 month ordeal?) (March 30 - May 31 2022)"

Here's another aspect with game development that could hinder new features:

>how complicated implementing changes in big games at big companies are. It's not a small indie game with 10 developers and a small code base

I'm reminded of the video by Timothy Cain

(Tim Cain, Producer, Lead Programmer of Fallout 1, and Director of The Outer Worlds)

about [what he dubbed "Game Development Caution"](https://youtu.be/LMVQ30c7TcA?si=OJ8esKkXmVNoIqwh), an aspect of it is the bureaucracy of large game studios.

Shaula-Alnair2026-01-13 05:16

Finally Lumine players can rewatch cutscenes with their Traveler!

ScatteredThorns2026-01-13 05:17

Fingers crossed its one step closer to the Scara event, Dragonspine event and Simulanka being accessible for newer players

Big-Cauliflower-34302026-01-13 05:18

About time

Napoleonex2026-01-13 05:19

yay!! i've been wanting the cutscene replay feature

KarenNotKaren6162026-01-13 05:24

Question: When will version limited content be rereleased?

masternieva6662026-01-13 05:25

Hoping to add event cutscene since most the events are cannon in genshin.

LengthyLegato1145142026-01-13 05:26

If MHY was extra smart, these would actually be YouTube embeds, so they could further pad YouTube views that way

invokeneko2026-01-13 06:50

They're gonna need to make the Lumine-specific cutscenes available on YouTube for all the language options too then ^(please Hoyo, I'm begging you as the beggiest beggar in all of begdom!) . That's the one thing that slightly irked me whenever I wanted to rewatch the cutscenes as someone who picked Lumine from the start.

Pokefreaker-san2026-01-13 07:14

nah browser integration always take a few more background processing power. I turned that feature off on steam too.

leoycchan2026-01-13 17:29

The talent demo videos for 5.7+ characters download the videos when playing in talent menu, but that’s from their file server rather than a streaming site. So not really a browser, but there is precedence to playing videos outside of the persistent game files.

parrotandpeacock2026-01-13 08:02

You won't have your UID in those videos, plus i don't think they are hungry for views at this point.

beautheschmo2026-01-13 08:38

Nah that sounds awful lol, there are multiple problems with that:

1. Browser integration is more resource (and internet) intensive than just playing the scenes normally.

2. For pre-rendered cutscenes, playing them over a weak/inconsistent internet/data connection could easily interfere with the final experience (via random buffering or auto-swapping to low resolution settings). Playing them off a video file in game will never have that issue.

3. For non-prerendered scenes, not everyone wants to let 100% of the dialogue play out, and since dialogue length is not uniform, you won't be able to consistently progress dialogue with normal YT fastforward functions.

CupcakeWarlock4502026-01-13 05:27

I really hope this is the start of them adding the lore-heavy events such as the Summer events before 2025, the albedo-focused dragonspine events, the unreconciled stars event, past lantern rites (especially last year's) etc.

Heck they can go the extra mile for us to replay those quests for whose who want a refresher or experience the story again.

sopunny2026-01-13 07:23

Aren't event quests already part of this? Anyways, it's much easier to add a cutscene than to make sure old custom events still work

kzzzzzzzzzz282026-01-13 07:52

Currently it's just the Bennett event + This year's Lantern Rite.

katbelleinthedark2026-01-13 08:12

Nope, just two events are permanent, last year's summer and this year's Lantern Rite

isherwood7772026-01-13 09:25

Yes and at least some of the rewards too for those of us who weren’t playing

scrayla2026-01-13 05:28

The cutscene replay thing is huge because i can finally delete all my old cutscenes for permanent content in my video files LOL

Aggressive_Yak70942026-01-13 08:23

Same.

BleedingUranium2026-01-13 09:10

On a similar note, as an Xbox player it's super welcome as we can only record in extremely compressed form (and only up to 60 seconds), and at the same time getting nice screenshots (thankfully png) is also difficult as there's a half-second or so delay and *also* a full second or two cooldown between them, so fast-paced fights and such are... rough to get any decent screenshots from.

We can't record and then frame-by-frame the video because the quality isn't good enough, and it's nearly impossible to get what you want with screenshots with only one time through the cutscene (especially if you're avoiding spoilers and don't know what to expect).

Now we'll at least be able to spam the cutscene until the screenshot timing works out. :P

tulogProject2026-01-14 16:51

Don't delete them.
There are some cutscenes that aren't shown, such as the Mondstadt cutscenes as well as some miscellaneous ones such as the Signora's Execution, Alhaitham VS Cyno, Kamisato Ayaka's first on-screen cutscene, Childe's destruction of the Ruin Guards, Childe trying to steal from Rex Lapis' corpse..

ChiKui2026-01-13 05:28

UWAHHHHHHHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH

verkligheten_ringde2026-01-13 05:30

Replaying cutscenes is huge!

LiamStyler2026-01-13 05:31

One of the best features ever added.

Theonlyoneclyde2026-01-13 05:37

This is a W decision. I am hoping that Hoyoverse brings back the limited time event stories with this system and makes them permanent. It makes zero sense to lock and time-gate events that have important lore and information.

Albireookami2026-01-13 05:43

This mean we can finally skip?

Schen5s2026-01-13 06:21

Pls for the love of god let us have the option to skip

FluffyGuest2026-01-13 05:44

W Update for Lore lovers.

multificionado2026-01-13 05:55

About time...but all the same, give us abilities to replay cutscenes, let alone past AQs.

Goodthingsaregone2026-01-13 06:16

I think Ashikai got a new years gift.

FawkesYeah2026-01-13 22:19

MurderofBirds too. Our friendly neighborhood ghost writer is gonna feint on camera about this

Bluetooth_Speaker12026-01-13 06:23

Now please add the limited time events too so people who missed them can experience them as well-

ahmadalhuraibi2026-01-13 06:25

anything but a skip button

krix_ten2026-01-13 06:27

With these features added, I believe they really have no plan on adding Skip Dialogue button.

Investigator-Rich2026-01-13 06:28

Now we can rewatch past Archon Quest. In the future please bring back every limited time events and their cutscenes

Notosk2026-01-13 06:38

Hopefully, this is the foundation for the eventual replayable limited events. I've been playing since 1.0 and haven't missed a single event, but I'm pretty sure some people would love to play stuff like unreconciled stars and get themselves a festering desire

baguettesy2026-01-13 06:42

hopefully this means we'll eventually get replayable events like Chalk Prince and Simulanka... right?

kugisaki-kagayama2026-01-13 07:15

Wish they would add a way to see a list of world quests you've completed...

AnnihilationBoom1232026-01-13 07:30

agree, even better if we have checklist for it, currently trying to clear out sumeru when it turns out there's aranara optional quest i havent done and man it was painful when i just want to collect the overworld resources in one go... i'll take it even if it was on hoyolab, even if i have to open another screen to access it

i_reddit_too_mcuh2026-01-14 03:16

I also want to know which anecdotes I'm missing...

Koanos2026-01-13 10:08

Not to be redundant or technical, but do the Achievements count? If you have them, doesn't that mean the Quest is complete?

kugisaki-kagayama2026-01-13 10:37

You can't even search the quest name in achievements, you have to search for the achievement name.

You have to look up *every* world quest on the wiki to find the name of the achievement you get for completing the world quest, then type that into the search field in achievements in game... That's awful

Koanos2026-01-13 17:50

Ah, I see the problem now.

H-K_472026-01-13 13:08

The reputation system used to be good for this but not anymore sadly.

siowy2026-01-13 07:28

I've been waiting for this for years. Let's goooooooooo

g1770132026-01-13 07:45

I hope they add past major event quests like the ones in dragonspine and old golden apple archipelago quests. Maybe as optional downloadable content

quizzically_quiet2026-01-13 08:04

Okay, but this is only actually cutscenes, not dialogue, isn't it? So there's still no way to play entire super lore-heavy events we may have missed? 😔

Coco_chan182026-01-13 08:06

Please please please bring back some old events especially the lore heavy ones

Aggressive_Yak70942026-01-13 08:23

Is this for future events only or All past quests and events?

MrZ18112026-01-13 08:36

Still no character build guide like HSR? Come on now

Lazy-Traffic53462026-01-13 08:54

I would like to see past events have access to download and play, better play in game than watch on YouTube

Proper-Algae33942026-01-13 09:07

Let's goooooo

casualgamerTX552026-01-13 09:09

Finally less need to rely on YT for the game's massive lore...

Mint-Bentonite2026-01-13 09:16

This was first prototyped in zzz, experimented on in hsr, and now implemented in genshin

it's fascinating to see how the three divisions are sharing technology with each other

BleedingUranium2026-01-13 09:17

Cutscene replays, a timeline, and a little more spotlight for the anecdotes, all extremely welcome QoL additions! <3

StevieBond2026-01-13 09:23

Hopefully, this will be the first step towards adding a quick summary and skip button, like ZZZ and Star Rail, since those have it and it's not done any harm to banner sales.

Gentlemanor2026-01-13 09:27

If they will later update this to include all past limited events being replayable with optional download, then it's ABSOLUTE CINEMA!

MaybeMrGamebus2026-01-13 09:40

This frees up A LOT of space in my PS5 storage

Fast-Ad-24152026-01-13 10:41

how ? becoming able to rewatch Cutscens doesn't make data suddenly disappear or data that was already there become deleteable .. So what do you my by that, when we still are unable to delete obsolete data from the PS5 game file??

MaybeMrGamebus2026-01-13 10:44

I recorded the scenes to my ps5 storage

Fast-Ad-24152026-01-13 16:27

ah, ok, thats explains it xD yeah, makes sense to delete all that stuff then

AceWissle2026-01-13 10:33

This is amazing! Thank you, John Hoyo and Bob Genshin!

mrrriot2026-01-13 10:47

Great, I guess. now give us the opportunity to play old main events that we missed, like in HSR. Started in 1.4 and would love the old events weapons

Regurgitate022026-01-13 11:16

That's all swell and good Hoyo but what about the last 4 years of lore heavy and canon flagship quests playability that everyone is asking for???

karillith2026-01-13 11:41

Assuming world quests are there, I'm curious to see how Lanoire world quests and the Ordo world quest integrate in the timeline (I'm still not sure if the final Ordo quest is supposed to take place before or after the Fontain Archon quest).

Chesse_cz2026-01-13 12:55

And still no fu**ing skip button...

cartercr2026-01-13 13:42

I hope people can see this for what it actually is: this is actually a massive step forward with some of the quest replay-ability requests that have been made over the years.

Having a tab now dedicated to event quests gives them infrastructure where they can actually put past event quests, as well as future ones. That was one of the often cited reasons why such quests weren’t replayable previously.

Being able to actually replay cutscenes is also massive. In a game where the story has unfolded over literal years it’s kind of essential that we be able to go back and look at things that were said in the past. Because I don’t know about any of you, but I personally can’t remember every single thing that people have said in every single quest over the years.

Jai1372026-01-13 13:45

Cute boxing Paimon chibi

Hades358d2026-01-13 14:17

Will they put the heavy lore world quests? Or its just for Archon and story quest?

SpartanCat72026-01-13 17:26

Here's hoping this includes world quests.

Also, I wish there was a way to replay the weekly boss battles in some kind of "story mode" (with character dialogs, prescripted events and cutscenes, etc).

Adorable-Comfort-2802026-01-13 22:31

great now add the Hu Tao story from Latern Rite last year

seriously tho this is a great feature, glad they finally decided to add this it’s been too long

Unsecret_Agent_992026-01-14 04:15

There are no cutscenes! It's only Audio!

EstimateFast49482026-01-19 18:18

Hopefully this "Event Quest" tab will be a stepping stone to add previous big events like the GAA, the Windblume, the fake Albedo and the Sumeru championship.
