Updates
Shortly after the game's launch, miHoYo announced a schedule for content updates over the following months. As a long-term project, much of the game remains to be finished. On release, only two of the seven major regions intended for the game were released, and miHoYo anticipates it will take several years for the game's story to be completed. In a presentation given in February 2021, miHoYo president Cai Haoyu estimated that ongoing development for the game would cost $200 million per year.

Updates are implemented into the game every six weeks and add more characters, events and new areas of Teyvat. Major updates ("Versions"), adding new major regions, are implemented annually. As of version 3.4 (January 2023), three major versions with a total of 19 updates have been released.Each update includes compensation, 60 primogems (material used to wish for characters and weapons) each hour the server is offline.

Plot
A pair of twins who travel across different worlds arrive in the world of Teyvat and on their journey they witness the destruction of the nation of Khaenri'ah. As they attempt to flee from the destruction, their path is blocked off by a god who claims herself as the "Sustainer of Heavenly Principles", and separates them away from each other. One of the twins gets captured by the "Sustainer of Heavenly Principles" and the other, referred to as the "Traveler", has their powers sealed and awakes to find themselves stranded in the world of Teyvat. They wandered the wilderness until they came across a floating being named Paimon, who proposes to aid and guide the them throughout the seven nations of Teyvat to search for their missing sibling. Paimon suggests that they consult with each nation's ruling archons, deities of elemental power, for assistance.

They first arrive to the nation of Mondstadt, whose archon Barbatos, is the God of Anemo. Upon arriving at the city of Mondstadt, they find that the city is being terrorized by a dragon called Stormterror. With the help of The Knights of Favonius, an order of knights that protects Mondstad, they agree to help the Traveler in finding their missing sibling, however they cannot do more than put up missing posters for their missing sibling due to Stormterrors reign. The Traveler decides to stay in Mondstadt and help out with the Stormterror problem in hopes of being able to get more resources to find their missing sibling. They meet a bard named Venti and learn that Stormterror is being manipulated by the Abyss Order, a legion of mysterious creatures wreaking havoc throughout Teyvat. Venti reveals himself to be a manifestation of Barbatos and frees the dragon of the Abyss Order's influence. After solving the crisis, they are ambushed by La Signora, a Fatui Harbinger diplomat from nation of Snezhnaya, who steals Venti's Gnosis (a symbol of an Archon's power) in the name of her archon, the Tsaritsa. Upon recovering, Venti has no answers to give about the Traveler's twin but advises them to visit the neighboring nation of Liyue to meet Rex Lapis, a manifestation of Morax, the Geo Archon.

The Traveler and Paimon go to Liyue Harbor to visit Rex Lapis, only for him to descend lifeless from the skies. They are assisted by the mortician Zhongli and the Fatui Harbinger Childe, in performing a rite of farewell for the archon. Childe's ulterior motive to find Rex Lapis's body and steal his Gnosis, is intercepted by the Traveler. To retaliate, Childe unleashes an ancient fallen god to terrorize the nation. Its inhabitants, the adepti and humans join forces to successfully defend Liyue. The Traveler and Childe later find out that Zhongli is the true vessel for Morax and has already exchanged his Gnosis with La Signora in an undisclosed contract. Zhongli retires as the ruling archon of Liyue, assuring the Traveler that the nation will be safe in the hands of the Qixing and Adepti. When the Traveler asks about their twin, Zhongli states that he has knowledge, but due to a contract, he cannot divulge any details.

The Traveler and Paimon return to Mondstadt and meets a stranger named Dainsleif, who assists them in investigating an insidious attempt of the Abyss Order to artificially create a deity capable of overthrowing the sky-hovering realm of Celestia, which rules all over Teyvat. In their journey, Dainsleif divulges information about the fallen kingdom of Khaenri'ah and its connection to the Abyss Order. Their success in thwarting the attempt is interrupted by the arrival of Traveler's sibling, who refuses to reunite with the Traveler and is revealed as the leader of the Abyss Order. Dainsleif chases after them, leaving the Traveler to decide to continue on their original mission.

The Traveler and Paimon are informed that the island nation of Inazuma is under an isolationist border policy and that the visions of some of its inhabitants are being confiscated by order of the Raiden Shogun, the vessel of the Electro Archon Baal. They stealthily arrive at the nation via boat, hoping for an audience with her, but their interruption of the Shogun's vision confiscation invokes her wrath instead. Barely escaping, they joins the insurgents and learns that the harmful decrees have been devised by the Fatui. Powerless in confronting the Fatui Harbinger No. 6, going by the name of Scaramouche, the Traveler is saved by the Raiden Shogun's shrine maiden Yae Miko, who trades in the Electro Archon's Gnosis for ransom. Miko devises a plan for the Traveler to confront the Raiden Shogun and her real master—Ei, the vessel of Baal's twin sister Beelzebul (Makoto). Ei reveals that she and Makoto once ruled Inazuma together as one before the latter's death. Grieving for her loss, she secluded herself and her country to preserve her ideals of eternity. Conceding defeat, she abolishes the Vision Hunt Decree and begins to reconsider her understanding of an eternal nation. Despite their victories, Miko is unable to provide useful information to the Traveler about their sibling, but suggests to visit the Dendro Archon, Lesser Lord Kusanali.

The Traveler and Paimon returns to Liyue to explore the Chasm region and reunites with Dainsleif, who is unsuccessful in chasing after their sibling. Seeing a vision of their sibling attempting to revive the kingdom of Khaenri'ah, they are torn between helping their sibling and defeating the Abyss Order. Dainsleif declares that the Traveler must choose between the world of Teyvat or their twin before departing.

The Traveler and Paimon journey to Sumeru in search of Lesser Lord Kusanali, but are unable to due to the Akademiya trapping her in her home and actively suppressing information about Kusanali. The Traveler is able to meet her vessel, Nahida, within a dream, and discover that the Akademiya's sages, in partnership with the Fatui Harbinger Il Dottore, are trying to replace Kusanali by turning Scaramouche into a god with the power of the Electro Gnosis. After the Traveler and Nahida fight Scaramouche and subdue him, Nahida seizes the Electro Gnosis and uses its power to visit the last memory of Rukkhadevata, who reveals that she created Kusanali as a means to erase herself from the world's collective memory to erase the spread of knowledge that had polluted the world. Upon doing so, everyone forgets about Rukkadevata except the Traveler, who is unaffected due to not being from Teyvat. Il Dottore later blacks the Traveler and Paimon out, to force Nahida to give up the Electro and Dendro Gnoses. She gives up the Electro Gnosis in exchange for Il Dottre to remove all copies of himself from reality. Days later, before the Traveler heads for Fontaine, Nahida tells them that they are the fourth of the "Descenders", the Fatui's label for those who come from outside Teyvat, but their sibling is not counted among them.
