This week brings a massive update to Genshin Impact, made even more exciting as the open-world RPG marks its **fifth anniversary**. Alongside the expected influx of new zones, characters, and quests, the patch introduces anniversary festivities packed with rewards, making it one of the game’s most significant updates yet.
Front and center is the debut of **Nod-Krai**, a sprawling new region that advances the main storyline. Players will confront the Fatui Harbinger **Marionette**, who seeks to exploit the moon’s power for her shadowy ambitions. The questline promises to unravel fresh lore while challenging travelers with new exploration mechanics.
The update also expands the roster with three playable characters: **Lauma** (5★ Catalyst user), **Flins** (5★ Polearm wielder), and **Aino** (4★ Claymore specialist). Each boasts intricately designed visuals tied to the lunar theme, along with combat kits that synergize with new “Moonlight” elemental reactions for devastating combos.
For the anniversary, HoYoverse is rolling out generous bonuses: a **free 5★ character selector**, enough upgrade materials to boost a character to Lv. 60, daily login primogems, and other gacha currency. The celebrations culminate in a **two-hour fan-art showcase stream** premiering September 20th, spotlighting community creativity.
