Version 5.7 of Genshin Impact is just around the corner, set for release on June 18th, 2025. This update is packed with new content, featuring exciting new characters, story quests, and various events.
In this update, players will be introduced to two new characters: Skirk and Dahlia. Skirk, trained under the Surtalogi, exhibits a tough demeanor and utilizes a unique energy called Serpent’s Subtlety instead of a traditional Vision. Her powers allow her to enter the Seven Phase Flash state, enhancing her Cryo-infused attacks. Additionally, she can summon Void Rifts that players can absorb to boost her damage output. On the other hand, Dahlia is a Hydro character serving as the Herald of Barbatos. He can generate Benison shields when teammates strike enemies, which can then be consumed to conjure additional shields. His special ability, Sacramental Shower, has varied effects based on who interacts with it, aiding allies and hindering foes.
Version 5.7 also introduces new story quests, including the “Crystallina Chapter: Act I” which features an Archon quest alongside Dainsleif as players navigate the dangerous Abyss Order territory in search of their sibling.
Additionally, several engaging events will be available, such as the “Battle of Imagined Arrays,” a board game-style competition where players can strategize to take down formidable enemies. The “Fearsome Ferocious Firepower” event allows players to utilize turrets against incoming foes, while “Reminiscent Regimen Frenzy” encourages teamwork to meet various objectives. The “Stygian Onslaught” is a new permanent challenge event with multiple phases and levels, perfect for players looking to farm Artifacts and reap rewards through participation.
Moreover, several system optimizations will improve overall gameplay experience, promising smoother performance and more enjoyable interactions.
This update not only enriches the Genshin Impact universe but also offers players fresh opportunities for collaboration and strategy, hinting at the developers’ commitment to creating a dynamic and engaging gaming environment. Fans can look forward to exploring these new features and storylines as they continue their adventure in Teyvat.
