Hoyoverse today presented the news that the players of Genshin Impact can expect with the launch of the version 4.6including the release date of the rich update, new banners and limited-time events.

The new update of the free-to-play action RPG is titled “The two worlds burn, light in the crimson night” and will be available starting from April 24. As usual, during the live broadcast three new codes were shared to redeem which give away 300 Primogemme and more.

One of the important new features of the update is undoubtedly the introduction of Harlequin, both as a new playable character and as the Weekly Boss of a new challenge that promises to put players to the test. There will also be new main missions, one of which will take us back to Sumeru and starring Cyno and a new character native to this nation.

Starting from version 4.6 players will be able to explore the new island Petrichor in Fontaine, but even more interesting will be what they find in the seas that surround it, which hide the ruins of a submerged city, full of secrets and treasures to discover, as well as new challenges and a boss.
