As we know, in the current version 2.2, all Genshin Impact players will receive a free 5-star character named Aloy. This is the result of a collaboration between Sony and miHoYo, as Aloy is the main character from the game Horizon Zero Dawn. This female character has also appeared in other games like Fortnite and Monster Hunter: World.
With Aloy being a 5-star character and offered for free, Genshin Impact players should have been excited about her arrival. However, a significant portion of Genshin Impact players is boycotting Aloy’s introduction, claiming it is an “insult” to the game’s storyline and other 5-star characters.
Not stopping at just expressing their disdain on social media, Genshin Impact players are actively seeking ways to remove this character from miHoYo’s RPG. In theory, Aloy does not appear in the character library of Genshin Impact; if you do not claim this character from your mailbox, she does not exist in the game at all.
However, in reality, you cannot delete the letter containing the character Aloy in Genshin Impact. A YouTuber garnered 1.2 million views creating a video on how to remove Aloy from miHoYo’s game, although unsuccessfully. The only way to remove Aloy is to wait a year for this letter to automatically disappear. In the comments section, many players also agree with the idea of removing Aloy and wish to exchange this character for Primogems or gacha items.
Indeed, the reactions from a segment of Genshin Impact players are quite negative, immediately labeling Aloy as an “insult” to the game’s storyline. Essentially, miHoYo has not included Aloy in any missions related to the Genshin Impact storyline, so this character has yet to impact the game.
