In this article, you will find out when update 3.6 will be released for Genshin Impact, what new characters, banners, events, quests, enemies and areas are waiting for players, as well as what new weapons, artifacts and cards for the Holy Call of the Seven will appear in the game. We will gradually update this material, so we recommend that you bookmark it.
Note: Currently, the information below is based not only on the statements of the developers, but also on leaks and files mined by data miners and testers, so it is not 100% reliable and may change over time.
Genshin Impact 3.6 release date
HoYoverse was able to get back to a six-week release of new updates, so the release of the upcoming patch should take place April 12, 2023. It will be replaced by version 3.7 around May 24 next year.
You can preload the client a few days before its release. The developers will probably carry out technical work, which can last up to five hours. Players are usually compensated with 300 Source Stones.
Live streaming of Genshin Impact 3.6
Developers almost always hold special streams one and a half to two weeks before the release of the next update. They are usually released on Friday and Sunday. For this reason, the 3.6 livestream is likely to take place March 31 this year. During it, promotional codes for 300 primogems will be published.
New banners and characters
HoYoverse has already officially unveiled two new heroes that, according to insiders, will be added to Genshin Impact in patch 3.6. We are talking about the owner of the Bubu hut, Bai Zhu, and the Sumerian architect, Kavehe.
First phase banners
According to available leaks, the first half of the update will increase the chance of obtaining the following characters:
- Bai Zhu (5 stars) - the owner of the God's Eye Dendro, who uses a catalyst in battles. With the help of his abilities, he can heal and shield Noelle: Protector, so in combat he mainly plays the role of a support.
- Kaveh (4 stars) - belongs to the element Dendro and masterfully wields a two-handed sword. His abilities are currently unknown.
As for the weapon banner, it will most likely feature a new catalyst, which is the signature for Bai Zhu.
Second phase banners
In the second half, according to insiders, Nahida (Dendro, catalyst) and Nilou (Hydro, one-handed sword) will be rerun. Some are pointing out that in the first phase of the patch, Eula (Cryo, two-handed sword) will appear in the banner, which many players have been waiting for for a long time.
Map change
So far, everything is very confusing here. The fact is that developers can release two new regions at once: the expansion of the Sumerian desert and the Chenyu Valley. The latter supposedly should appear in the north of Liyue and become a kind of bridge to Fontaine.
However, a number of whistleblowers have stated that the team will still add only one new area, and it may not expand the desert, but the Sumeru tropical zone. The location itself will be small, as it will consist of only two districts.
New tasks
Given the possible introduction of new regions, we should expect the addition of additional quest chains. Some of them will again be associated with aranars - this once again confirms the information that it will be the rainforest that will be expanded, and not the desert.
A new quest for the Archons is also expected, and players will meet the Wanderer (Scaramuccia) in it again. He will turn out to be a representative of the darshan of Vahumana, in which they study the nature, sources and composition of knowledge.
Meeting
Dataminer Ubatcha stated that in patch 3.6, Travelers will be able to hold a meeting with Layla. The content of this quest chain is unknown. Most likely, she will be associated with the Twilight Academy, in which an eternally sleepy student studies.
New Enemies
New boss
We are talking about the Dendro dragon Apepa, about which Lilupar mentioned in passing. You can already see his cave right now in the northern part of Hadramavet, but it’s still impossible to get there. The Blank insider noted that he would have to fight as part of a new story mission.
This opponent will get two forms and will be able to summon minions like Oceanid. In addition, it will have a very large size, since during the battle the camera will move far away from the character.
New opponents
In addition to the boss, players also expect new opponents, for example, Anemo Hilichurl Rangers, capable of flying and throwing shurikens at the player. Against them, you will have to use archers or catalysts.
There will also be Hydro Hilichurl Rangers, capable of creating bubbles and using sickles in battle, Hydro and Dendro sacred predators that look like a panther and a crocodile. In addition, players will encounter a new Herald of the Abyss, which applies 4 elements at once and casts a Noelle: Protector. His name will be Arch Lector.
New mechanics
Tree of Dreams
Located in Wanaran (Sumeru) Tree of Dreams finally it will be possible to increase to the maximum level 50.
Tree of offerings in Liyue
Some sources note that Liyue will have its own offering tree, similar to Inazuma and Sumeru. If the rumors are true, then he will most likely be added to Chenyu Valley.
New vehicles
Whisperer Blank noted that patch 3.6 will add a new vehicle that can fly. We are talking about the flying ship Sorush, invented in Fontaine.
New Equipment
New weapon
We already mentioned above that the developers will add a new 5-star catalyst called Hekiro no Hiro. Its characteristics are still unknown, but you can get acquainted with its exemplary appearance.
New Artifacts
According to dataminer Thereallo, the developers are going to add two new sets of artifacts at once. You can get them in the dungeon of the new region, perhaps in Sumeru or Liyue.
New events
Currently, there is no information about the events of the upcoming patch. We will update this section as soon as we find any information about them.
