Genshin Impact version 5.3 set to arrive next year, so set your calendars!

Genshin Impact Version 5.3: Incandescent Ode of Resurrection Arrives January 1st!

Get ready, Genshin Impact fans! Version 5.3, "Incandescent Ode of Resurrection," is launching January 1st, 2025, bringing a massive wave of new content! From new characters and story additions to exciting new abilities, there's something for everyone. And the best part? Free rewards await!

While you'll need to wait until the New Year, the rewards are well worth it. Expect a generous gift of 1600 Primogems, a new glider (Wings of Fate's Course Intertwined), 10 Intertwined Fates, a free four-star Liyue character, and a brand-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! Version 5.3 continues the main story with Act Five of the Natlan Archon Quest. Mauvika and the Traveler will finally confront the Abyss in an epic battle, and you'll gain access to the new Pyro element. Three new characters debut: two five-star (Mavika and Citlali) and one four-star (Lan Yan), each boasting unique abilities. Mavuika even gets a motorbike!

Prospero anno y felicidad

The excitement doesn't end there! The Lantern Rite returns as a permanent fixture, alongside two new outfits for Hu Tao and Xiangling, two fearsome new bosses, and the popular Rhythm Game. With so much new content, you'll need to experience it firsthand!
