The new video of the heroine Hu Tao in Genshin Impact is getting great responses on YouTube. Within hours, it has already amassed over a million views, and a day later it is nearing two million. Particularly, one word seems to delight many players.
What kind of video is it? The video shows a teaser for Hu Tao, the director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor in Liyue. In the short clip, the lively, cheeky lady is seen trying to scare the viewers a little.
Hu Tao is known as a prankster who enjoys playing tricks, and this is reflected in the video. She is accompanied by a spirit, which apparently also belongs to her skill set in Genshin Impact. We have already summarized the gameplay details about Hu Tao shortly after the trailer’s release.
About seven hours after its release on February 27 at 5:00 AM German time, the video had already garnered over a million views (via PCGamesN). By now (February 28 at 11:30 AM), the counter stands at over 1.9 million. The teaser receives extremely positive ratings of 210,570 upvotes to just 951 downvotes.
Cute spirits and ‘Aiya’
What excites the players so much? Looking at the comments, it quickly becomes clear that many players are simply delighted by Hu Tao’s personality. Her cheeky demeanor seems to be very well received. However, two other details are also frequently mentioned.
The first of these is the word ‘Aiya’. This is a Chinese expression that conveys surprise or frustration or is used when someone is annoyed (like: ‘oops’ or ‘hmpf’). The word itself appears to be cute to many players, and they are delighted by the way Hu Tao pronounces it.
The second detail is Hu Tao’s companion, the little spirit. Players wish for it to be a companion in the game, and they apparently can hardly wait to finally play with it themselves.
When can I play Hu Tao? The developers have now confirmed that Hu Tao will be available to play with the next banner on March 2, 2021.
Until Hu Tao appears, you can still take advantage of the current event to get a free 4-star character: Genshin Impact gives you a 4-star character – Which one should you choose?
