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, bringing a massive wave of new content. Prepare for new characters, story additions, exciting abilities, and generous free rewards!

While the wait until January 1st might be tough, the rewards are well worth it. Expect a whopping 1600 Primogems, a new glider (Wings of Fate's Course Intertwined), 10 Intertwined Fates, a free four-star Liyue character, and a new outfit for Xiangling! These goodies will be distributed through in-game mail, daily login events, and the upcoming Festive Fever event.

But that's not all! The main story continues with Act Five of the Natlan Archon Quest, pitting Mauvika and the Traveler against the Abyss. A new Pyro element will also become accessible. Three new characters debut: the five-star Mavuika and Citlali, and the four-star Lan Yan, each boasting unique abilities – including a motorbike for Mavuika!

The celebrations continue with the return of the Lantern Rite, two new outfits for Hu Tao and Xiangling, two new bosses, and the permanent addition of the Rhythm Game! It's a jam-packed update with almost too much to list – you'll have to experience it firsthand!
