September 28 is also the birthday of Kamisato Ayaka, so official artwork of the Shirasagi no Himegimi voiced by Saori Hayami was shared too:
"The sun's rays accompany the dancing snowflakes, the mountain breeze teases the cherry blossom petals."
Well… before the flowers fall, please let me express my gratitude.

We went on a long journey in Teyvat together, and now a new adventure awaits us.#GenshinImpact
While no live stream on the anniversary date ended up being announced for the 28th, did you check out the Chinese version of the Genshin Impact Anniversary Fanart stream? It had different movies and contents from the English version. it was much more varied too, with some live-action and Kamen Rider references, stop-motion, and even anime movies from fans. My personal favorite is the movie you can watch at the 1:44:19 timestamp from the Teyvat Production Committee.
Genshin Impact is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, iOS, and Android. The Nintendo Switch version is also coming at some point but has no release date yet.
