Oh, and some Primogem codes
It feels likeGenshin Impact’s 1.2 update just came out last month (because it did) but Mihoyo are already dishing out details on the next update 1.3. The new update will ring in the yearly Lantern Rite festival, a new playable character, and multiple festival activities.
To start off the event, you’ll meet with Xiao, the new playable character, for a story quest after which you can head back to the decorated harbor to participate in the Lantern Rite festival. The festival adds a tower defense type minigame for up to two players called Theater Mechanicus which will grant you event-specific currency to spend in the event market.
There’s also a daily photography challenge to participate in called the Five Flushes of Fortune which can net you those ever-needed Primogems. Mihoyo say The Lantern Rite festival will also give you the chance to earn your pick of any one four-star character from Liyue without spending your gems.
