Players have raised concerns about the portrayal of the new Natlan region in the popular game Genshin Impact. The region draws inspiration from Latin America and West Africa, with some players accusing the game developers, MiHoYo, of whitewashing and colorism.
These criticisms have sparked a debate among fans. MiHoYo has not yet made a public response to the backlash, leaving uncertainty about how they will address these concerns.
This is not the first time MiHoYo has faced criticism, with previous complaints about the lack of dark-skinned characters in the game. Natlan is expected to be included in an upcoming Genshin Impact update.
In the game, players can explore the vast world of Teyvat, interact with characters, and uncover the secrets of the Archons, the gods who rule over the seven nations.
