Want to know everything that’s coming in the Genshin Impact 1.5 update? It wasn’t all that long that we were speculating about the current update to the hit free-to-play RPG, and now we’ve got even more stuff coming our way. There is a slight snag though: this may be the last time players will know well in advance what’s coming to the game.
Not long after the 1.4 update dropped, details were leaked from various sources about what’s coming in the next update. So many in fact that it prompted Mihoyo to speak out publicly about the consequences of leaked information.
Following Mihoyo’s official Version 1.5 special program, we have confirmation that at least two new Genshin Impact characters are coming to the game, as well as a rerun of a previously released character, several events, and a new gameplay feature, among many other offerings.
The Genshin Impact 1.5 release date is April 28, 2021. This was confirmed in the version 1.5 special program.
Genshin Impact 1.5 new characters and reruns
Following on from the introduction of Rosaria in the 1.4 update, the two new Genshin Impact characters in the 1.5 update are Eula and Yanfei. Eula is a five-star Cryo character with a Claymore. In combat, she will rely on acquiring stacks of Grimheart that’s converted by her skills into effects to deal more damage over time.
The 1.5 update introduces a player housing system called the Serenitea Pot. Players will be able to furnish their own living quarters with stuff that they can buy from a shop with special currency. You’ll also get a bird companion who can teleport you to your house.
As for the rest of the update, these are what’s been leaked thus far:
A Reddit post by Hikuran has surfaced with screen capture of the development diary. It’s all in Chinese, but thankfully Hikuran translated and summarised what each of the screenshots say:
That’s all we know so far about the Genshin Impact 1.5 update. Of course, let’s not get distracted by what’s coming in the future, as the 1.4 update has tons of stuff in it that you should complete first. There are four characters with hangout events so far: Noelle, Barbara, Bennett, and Chongyun. And that’s not counting the rest of the Windblume Festival’s activities.
