I haven’t been back toGenshin Impactsince a few weeks after launch, when itentranced mewith brightly coloured grass and the ability to climb tall things. Since then the action RPG has added several new regions and new characters to unlock or buy, but nothing to pull me back in.

The next update, 1.5, adds magic teapots though, so maybe this time I’ll return.

While it’s the housing that interests me, the update will also add two new playable characters. Yanfei is a four-star Pyro-user who can generates Scarlet Seals, a stackable buff that increases power of her attacks, and Eula is a five-star claymore user “bearer of Cryo Vision” who can also presumably make you agree to long legal documents without reading them first.

Genshin Impact 1.5, “Beneath the Light of Jadeite”, will launch on April 28th. It’s free-to-play, so downloadable via itsofficial site, and characters are unlocked via a gacha system.
