During Gamescom’s Opening Night Live

Free-to-play ARPG Genshin Impact’s 3.0 update arrives on August 24th, 2022.

Genshin Impact’s 3.0 update will launch - depending on what timezone you’re in - either tomorrow or later tonight. If you’re counting down the final six hours before its release, you can now spend that time watching the new trailer 187 times. It shows the new characters and the region of Sumeru and you’ll find it below.

The update adds three new playable characters in total (who you’ll have to unlock, natch), with 4-star Electro character Dori rounding out the set. Previous trailers and developer updates have also revealed a bunch about the NPCs you’ll meet in Sumeru.

My ownGenshin Impactjourney began and ended in its first region, which at this point I think was around six regions ago, so much of this means little to me. For an expert take, hit up Rebecca’s guide toGenshin Impact 3.0’s new characters, region and elements.

I do alwayswantto play Genshin Impact when I watch a new trailer though, so maybe I’ll do that once I’ve watched the trailer above another 186 times.
