The update will include two new Archon Quests, three new characters from the new Sumeru region for the next banner, and two new 5-star weapons and three 4-star weapons that will be added to the weapon banner. Collei, one of the new dendro characters will be permanently included as a reward for completing Spiral Abyss 4-4 Chamber 3, regardless of which game version you started the game.
Starting with the next parch Genshin Impact will now have a new permanent gameplay option: Genius Invokation TCG, which will allow players to play against NPC’s, PVE’s and PVP, the latter being a novel addition as the game only previously allows you to play with friends but not against them. Many players have since expressed their frustrations for the lack of a competitive option in the game and this new mode will hopefully satisfy that need.
