She’s also Genshin’s first free five-star character.All other five-star characters need to be rolled for in Genshin Impact, whereas Aloy will be gifted for free as long as you’re adventure rank 20 or higher.“Everything I do is in the service of life, not death.

She’ll arrive on PlayStation a month earlier, on October 13th, with extra access to a platform-exclusive four-star bow.I say this is Genshin Impact’s first crossover event, but that depends on whether you count its Kentucky Fried Chicken event from back in March. Genshin-themed pins and in-game items, including a KFC red and white glider and recipes, were available via KFC stores in China, and generated such enormous crowdsthat the event was shut down due to Covid-19 concerns.Genshin Impact update 2.0 also launched this week, adding the new territory of Inazuma and a new character to unlock, with two more on the way. I haven’t played the game since the first few weeks after its launch, and though I’d like to return to it, I honestly have no idea what’s going on in the trailer below.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings
