An incredibly dedicated Genshin Impact enthusiast has recently unveiled their breathtaking recreation of Liyue Harbor, built entirely in Unreal Engine 5 after three years of meticulous work. The popular HoYoverse RPG has captivated players with its diverse landscapes across Teyvat since its 2020 release. With six fully explorable regions already available and the seventh, Nod-Krai, scheduled for release this summer, fans continue to find inspiration in the game's rich environments. This particular project pays homage to one of Genshin Impact's most iconic early-game locations.

The Liyue region holds special significance as one of the first major areas players encounter in Genshin Impact. Accessible after completing Act 1 of the Prologue, this China-inspired territory features diverse landscapes including marshes, grasslands, and towering mountains. Among its numerous settlements - from Wangshu Inn to Chenyu Vale - Liyue Harbor stands out as the regional capital and the focus of this impressive fan endeavor.

Reddit user Kubiarts_3D shared their remarkable achievement on the official Genshin Impact subreddit, presenting a complete rebuild of Liyue Harbor in Unreal Engine 5. The project showcases extraordinary attention to detail, transforming the game's stylized architecture into a photorealistic interpretation. Accompanying images and a video tour highlight iconic locations including Yujing Terrace, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, and the surrounding mountain paths. The creator revealed this ambitious undertaking required three years of dedicated effort to complete.

The community response to this Unreal Engine 5 interpretation of Liyue Harbor has been overwhelmingly positive, with many commenters suggesting HoYoverse should recruit the talented creator. Interestingly, the developer currently has job listings for Unreal Engine 5 projects. The Reddit post details the painstaking process behind the recreation, including modeling every element from scratch and precisely scaling the city using Genshin Impact's in-game measurements. The artist hinted at potential future projects, possibly including Inazuma's Narukami Shrine.

This extraordinary fan project emerges as Genshin Impact prepares to introduce its seventh major region. The upcoming Nod-Krai update will mark players' first exploration of Snezhnayan territory, with HoYoverse already teasing various locations and characters including long-anticipated figures like Alice and Columbina. With Nod-Krai's launch just over a month away, the Genshin Impact community has much to anticipate.
