And it’s the drinks I care about
My eyes unfocused partway through the trailer forGenshin Impact’s 2.5 update. There was some sort of mystical calamity and it was all very dramatic. Then, almost after the real trailer was finished, there was a minute or more of the actual game, as a character gathered herbs in a pretty field at night, mixed a drink, and unlocked some items.
I was immediately focused back in. Update 2.5, “When the Sakura Bloom”, will launch on February 16th with three new characters.
Here’s the trailer:

I don’t feel any FOMO about missing out on five-star characters, but the drink-mixing in the trailer is what caught my eye. For me, Genshin Impact is a series of nice places to spend time in, with fun traversal and lots of relaxing todo list items to check off. The new bartending minigame lets you mix ingredients with a QTE to determine the size of the drink, and then you can serve it to other characters to unlock dialogue with them.
We’ll have guides to the new characters in due course, but for now we have regularly updated pages onGenshin Impact banners,codes for free primogems, anda character tier list.
