'Genshin Impact' V2.8 Primogem Gift Codes, Plus New Banners And ... (Forbes)

Here are the Genshin Impact v2.8 special program stream gift codes, plus the new banner coming.

I think most people are probably starting to save for 3.0 and all the new Sumeru Dendro characters at this point, and that reveal should be in the next couple months here ahead of what seems like a fall release for that region. Among them will be Summertime Odyssey, Resonating Visions, Reminiscent Regimen, Hidden Strife, Evermotion Mechanical Painting and most impotantly a new outfit for Diluc where he has a high ponytail. The entire “storyline” for 2.8 is called Summer Fantasia, and will contain the usual amount of various types of events we get for new patches.

Genshin Impact 2.8 livestream news summary with a Kazuha, Klee, and Yoimiya rerun, new story quests, a new main event, Summertime Odyssey, and more.

Heizou is a young prodigy detective from the Tenryou Commission, as in, he works for Sara. He has his own ways of doing things, and he’d rather be on the scene investigating than taking care of the paperwork. You can find some gameplay of Fischl and Diluc with their new alternate costumes below. While other 5-star characters, like Jean, already got a bonus Skin, Diluc’s Skin is also the first-ever 5-Star Skin in the game. Just as per the leaks, Heizou is a 4-star Anemo and Catalyst character. It had highly important story details for the future most notably for Scaramouche. Three screenshots of the new Kazuha Story Quest were revealed: Version 2.8 will add a new story quest focusing on Kazuha and his family’s history as blacksmiths.

Genshin Impact: Everything We Know About Collei So Far (The Nerd Stash)

Here's everything we currently know about Collei, one of the new 4-star Dendro characters in the Genshin Impact 3.0 update.

And according to Genshin Impact leaker BLANK, Collei and Amber still keep in touch with each other quite often by exchanging letters. According to rumors, Collei will be released in Genshin Impact 3.0 update banners, with two 5-star characters and one 4-star character. If you’re curious and don’t mind extremely minor spoilers, here’s everything we currently know about Collei, one of the new 4-star Dendro characters in the Genshin Impact 3.0 update. However, it turns out Barnabas was working with the Fatui and turned Collei into a test subject for their Archon Residue experiments — giving her extraordinary strength that’s hard to control. Nearing the end of Chapter 16: Talks Over a Drink, Collei and Amber meet with Cyno, who successfully seals off Collei’s Archon Residue. Barnabas shows up, but this time Amber defeats him. Even so, the rumor mills keep spinning, and die-hard fans were treated with tons of leaks about Genshin Impact 3.0, including the new Sumeru region and characters for the last week.

Genshin Impact Leak Shows All Sumeru Characters Together (Game Rant)

A recent Genshin Impact leak shows seven new characters that should arrive in foreseeable future as part of the new Sumeru expansion.

However, the second elemental reaction Overgrown is more complex, and it causes explosive seeds to drop on the ground once Dendro and Hydro are combined. At the moment there are not a lot of information about the new character Dori, but she is expected to be a new Electro character. The second character that will appear in the update is another Dendro user named Collei.

Genshin Impact developer MiHoYo releases promo codes with free rewards for all to redeem, but players need to act fast before the expiration date.

The Genshin Impact Reddit community compiled the codes from the worldwide, Chinese, and Korean special programs for the sake of convenience.

High-rarity weapons are also attainable from single or tenfold event wish pulls, allowing Genshin Impact players to upgrade their arsenal of weapons across a growing roster of characters. A single event wish in Genshin Impact costs 160 Primogems and may award the player with a character of 4-star rarity or higher. Genshin Impact is a large-scale action RPG and one of the most popular free-to-play titles from miHoYo alongside Honkai Impact 3rd. The latest special program provided a wealth of free rewards and a glimpse into the immediate future of Genshin Impact.

Everything we know about the leaked Sumeru characters in Genshin ... (Inverse)

'Genshin Impact' 3.0 leaks brought many characters into the public eye. Here's what we know about all six Sumeru newcomers so far.

He’s the featured character in the Genshin Impact Teyvat storyline trailer, seen wearing a blue-violet helmet and carrying a polearm. The Elemental Burst also regenerates HP and elemental particles while active, which is one of the first to have that effect. Al-Haitham is only the latest character to take inspiration from Honkai Impact characters, including Yae Miko, Raiden Shogun, and Venti. Her Elemental Skill deploys a turret that deals Electro DMG, and her Burst deals Electro DMG to any enemy the active character touches. Blank claims her full name is Dori Sangemah Bay, not the frequently mentioned “Dori Sange Mahabay.” She’s rumored to be an Electro Claymore user, which checks out based on an action shot of her with a Claymore. Leaks about Dori, Tighnari, Collei, and Kusanali flooded around the same time. We already know about Lesser Lord Kusanali from Genshin Impact story quests. Interestingly enough, her kit seems to mirror Amber’s. Her Elemental Burst deploys an exploding cat, much like Amber’s signature Baron Bunny, and her passive is the same as hers too. There, she becomes friends with Amber after an escapade with the Knights of Favonius. She eventually leaves with Cyno to study in Sumeru, the country of scholars. Leakers have been tight-lipped about certain aspects of 3.0, so not all the information is out in the open yet. We have the first Dendro characters, including Tighnari, Kusanali, and Collei. Others from Sumeru that aren’t necessarily Dendro like Cyno have also been mentioned in recent leaks, whether it's arguing what their elements are or when they’re coming to the game. However, Blank chose to reveal this information early and it’s been widely circulated over the past few days. Genshin Impact 3.0 leaks are some of the wilder ones right now thanks to an influx of character details flooding social media.
