Genshin Impact Version 5.6

HoYoverse has revealed that Genshin Impact Version 5.6 will be releasing next month on May 7 which includes a new Archon Quest chapter. Two new playable characters are also coming with the update, as well as a Chronicled Wish featuring characters from Inazuma.

In the latest Archon Quest Interlude, players’ joyous return to Mondstadt during the Windblume Festival takes a sharp turn for the worse as an unexpected trial places Albedo in the crosshairs of all. Travelers will find themselves thrown into an investigation and more alongside Venti, familiar faces from the Knights of Favonius, new allies like Dahlia, as well as the Hexenzirkel’s very own Lady Alice.

As danger looms beyond the courtroom, signs of a greater threat begin to emerge with monsters invading the city. In a key negotiation with Lady Alice, Travelers must undergo a magical trial to secure her support and defend Mondstadt from the encroaching darkness. The mage’s trial arrives as a new Weekly Boss Challenge, unfolding in a dramatic battle upon a mystical chessboard. Face the King and Queen, uncover the secrets of the board, and prevail against this onslaught of powerful foes!

Below are the big highlights from Genshin Impact Version 5.6:

  • New Archon Quest: An interlude chapter set back in Mondstadt, where Albedo faces a trial, and Mondstadt faces a monstrous invasion. Venti, Lady Alice, and Dahlia will make an appearance in the story.
  • Management Event: Run an amusement park in Fontaine with management gameplay and lots of rewards!
  • New Characters: Escoffier (5-star), who turns her culinary skills into battlefield prowess, and Ifa (4-star), a sauro-vet who flies in the face of danger with his saurian buddy Cacucu.
  • Event Wishes: First half – Escoffier, Navia, Ifa; Second half – Kinich, Raiden Shogun; together with a Chronicled Wish featuring Inazuma characters.

As well as the reveal about the Genshin Impact Version 5.6 update coming on May 7, the game will also feature the first international beauty brand collaboration with Charlotte Tilbury. On April 30, the iconic British beauty brand will be selling two co-branded beauty boxes which feature limited edition Genshin Impact merchanise inspired by Mona.
