| First Look of Genshin Impact Tevyat From Space Revealed |
Summary
- Genshin Impact reveals Tevyat from space in new Skirk animated short.
- The fake sky hides the entire world from the devastated outer cosmos.
- Skirk is confirmed to be a Trespasser, not a Descender like the Traveler.
First Look at Tevyat From Space in Skirk’s Animated Short
The latest Genshin Impact animated short, titled Star Odyssey, surprised fans with more than just Skirk’s backstory — it also gave a hauntingly beautiful view of Tevyat from space.
Released on June 12, 2025, this video showed Skirk’s journey into Tevyat through a wound in the sky made by Surtalogi, one of the Five Sinners.
The Fake Sky and What Lies Beyond
As shown in the animated short, Tevyat is completely cloaked in a fake sky — a dome-like cover that not only creates a false view from inside but also conceals the planet from the outside universe.
The outer space surrounding Tevyat appears red, corrupted, and desolate, adding weight to theories that the sky is a form of protection or even a prison.
Skirk's entry into the world happens just like the Traveler's, but with a twist — she’s labeled a Trespasser, not a Descender. This is because she needed help from Surtalogi to break into Tevyat. In contrast, Descenders like the twins arrived on their own, and are said to have the power to change Tevyat’s fate.
Genshin Skirk's Role and Lore Implications
Skirk is a Cryo sword user, making her debut in version 5.7 on June 18, 2025. In the short, she’s seen speaking with Dainsleif and Alice, and even appears on the same beach where the Traveler wakes up at the beginning of the game. Her deep connection to the main story and the mysterious forces behind Tevyat is now more evident than ever.
Fans also spotted key visuals — such as the false sky tearing open and swirling clouds — that mirror events from the Natlan Archon Quest, where Mavuika caused a split-sky phenomenon. This strengthens the theory that something massive is being hidden or protected by the fake sky.
What This Means for Tevyat’s Future
This teaser raises several questions: Why is Tevyat hidden from the universe? Who or what is the world being protected from? Could it be similar to Honkai: Star Rail’s Amphoreus, a sealed prison for immense power?
While nothing is confirmed, the cosmic scale of Genshin Impact’s lore is clearly expanding, and the look at Tevyat from space is a powerful hint of what’s to come.
