MMO action RPGGenshin Impact’s 3.1 update, King Deshret and the Three Magi, goes live in the game today, bringing three fresh characters and desert-themed areas to explore. The update borrows heavily from ancient Egypt, with animal-headed gods adorning the walls of pyramids and dusty tombs. Pop your head inside the cavernous trailer below and take a look for yourself.

The update refers to three magi, but you’ll be seeing threenew banner charactersin the forms of Candace, Cyno, and Nilou. Both Cyno and Nilou are getting main story quests, along with the new Archon quest chapters.
Candace is a 4-star Hydro character who’s a descendant of that King Deshret fellow. She wields a polearm, and has a funky shield that causes Hydro damage with the Heron’sSanctumskill. She can also use the elemental burst known as Wagtail’s Ride, which deals area of effect Hydro damage based on her max health.
Cyno seems like something of a badass warrior.
The update also adds new desert-themed enemies and equipment, as well as the usual array of bug fixes. You can find out more about the 3.1 update over at Genshin’s irritatingly interactive official sitehere.
