Genshin Impact Version 3.3 will deal out a trading card gameBut Scaramouche, will he do the fandango
But Scaramouche, will he do the fandango

With the possible exception of Gwent, mini-games inside open world RPGs tend to suck. They’re often poor imitations of much deeper and exciting board and card games you can play in the real world, offered as an unwanted break from the monsters I’ve come to stick a sword through. WillGenshin Impact’s upcoming Genius Invokation TCG buck that trend?
Probably not, no, but we’ll know for sure when the Version 3.3 update lands on December 7th. There’s also a new quest that takes place after the game’s main storyline, a couple new playable characters, and a Breakout mini-game. Ah. I do actually quite like Breakout.

I’ve got very little idea what was going on in the first half of that, but I did enjoy the extended shots of Faruzan the enigmatic machinist wailing on a mushroom.
There’ll be a few more mini-games, too, including a “brick-breaker” Breakout copycat and some timed balloon-collection trials. Hide-and-seek game “Windtrace” and the “Misty Dungeon” combat challenge will also return with new updates.
On a personal note, I spent the last 6 months sweating in Thai classrooms, pleading with 13-year olds to stop playing Genshin Impact on their phones. I hope their stupid card game turns out rubbish.
