Genshin Impact has released a ton of characters through updates over the years. With over 70 characters to interact with, it's nice to look back at the order in which everyone was released.

I find it particularly helpful to understand how HoYoverse's character development has changed over time, and how the meta has adjusted to new regional expansions. Below, we've listed every character in Genshin Impact from the first version to the most current iteration.
