Genshin Impact Version 5.3: Incandescent Ode of Resurrection – A New Year's Feast of Content!

Get ready, Genshin Impact fans! Version 5.3, "Incandescent Ode of Resurrection," is launching January 1st, 2025, and it's bringing a massive wave of new content! Prepare for a deluge of new characters, story additions, abilities, and – best of all – generous free rewards!

While the wait until January 1st might be tough, the rewards are well worth it. Expect a bountiful welcome package including 1600 Primogems, a new glider (Wings of Fate's Course Intertwined), 10 Intertwined Fates, a free four-star Liyue character, and a brand-new outfit for Xiangling.

But that's just the beginning! The main storyline continues with Act V of the Natlan Archon Quest, pitting Mauvika and the Traveler against the Abyss. Prepare to wield the power of the new Pyro element! Three new characters are joining the roster: two five-stars (Mavika and Citlali) and one four-star (Lan Yan), each boasting unique abilities. A particular highlight is Mavika's motorbike!
