Genshin Impact <\/a>developer miHoYo today announced the first major update for the mobile and console RPG. The update, which hits phones (or console) on November 11, introduces a bunch of new features, characters, and events. We scored the game 7\/10 in our Genshin Impact review<\/a>, and forthcoming updates only look to bring more of the great exploration that we enjoyed so much.<\/p>\n

First of all, we\u2019ll get the finale to the Liyue chapter of the game through a bunch of brand-new quests and story beats. You can expect to explore the other five cities in Teyvat in future updates, too, so you won\u2019t be short of new content for a good while.<\/p>\n

As well as finishing the section of story set in Liyue Harbor, update v1.1 also adds Genshin Impact\u2019s first seasonal event, which we can expect to see more of in the future. November\u2019s seasonal offering is  called Unreconciled Stars, and sees players come together to stop a terrible catastrophe from destroying Teyvat as we  know it. The event goes on for two weeks, during which time you can  complete new quests, take on co-op challenges, and unlock  rewards \u2013 including 4-star character Fischl.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all, as the update also introduces four new playable characters. The 5-star characters are Childe and Zhongli, who possess unique abilities and skills. \u2018Childe\u2019 is a hydro archer and can switch between two combat modes, melee and ranged. Zhongli is a  Geo polearm user with great defensive capabilities \u2013 oh and he can also petrify his foes.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got less information at this stage about the two new 4-star characters, Xinyan and Diona, but rest assured that they\u2019ll be ready to diversify your party and unlock nifty combos as you adventure through Teyvat. We\u2019ll have to wait and see where these four characters fit in our Genshin Impact tier list<\/a>, but we\u2019re excited to find out.<\/p>\n

The last major addition in the update is a new \u2018Reputation\u2019 system. This allows you to build up your standing in the regions of Teyvat, and the higher your prestige among the citizens of a certain area, the more rewards you get. There are region-exclusive items, customisations, and new tools to  aid you on your adventure. You can also get your hands on a portable waypoint, stove, and treasure compass via the reputation system, so keep your rapport with each region\u2019s citizens in top form.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also got a great Genshin Impact guide<\/a> if you\u2019re just getting started \u2013 or if you need to look up something about the map, multiplayer or primogems. If you\u2019re after a freebie, check out our list of Genshin Impact codes<\/a> to make sure you don\u2019t miss out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
