Here come trainee forest ranger Collei and electro merchant Dori.
Free-to-play open world ARPGGenshin Impactupdates to version 3.0 on August 24th, developers HoYoverse have revealed. The update is rather fancily called The Morn A Thousand Roses Brings, and introduces the new ley-line-filled Sumeru region. You can scout ahead by watching the extremely dramatic trailer below.
Grahamreportedat the end of July that six new characters were coming in the 3.0 update, including the Dendro Forest Watcher and researcher Tighnari. There’s two other new characters incoming too: Collei and Dori.Colleiis another Dendro character, who’s one of the main characters in the Genshin manga. She’s a trainee ranger who comes from Sumeru. Dori is an Electro character and the Sumeru region’s most resourceful merchant. I quite likeDori, because she shouts “Shazam!” when she whacks enemies.
The 3.0 update brings with it a bunch of new quests, artifacts and weapons too. The Deepwood Memories artifacts set mucks about with Dendro damage and resistance, for example, increasing damage with a two-piece set or reducing an enemy’s Dendro resistance if you have a four-piece set. Two new bow weapons are coming in 3.0: the five-star Hunter’s Path and the four-star End Of The Line. That last one looks like a fish, which is cool.
HoYoverse have alsolaid outGenshin’s schedule for the next few updates after 3.0. Version 3.1 can be expected sometime around September 28th, 3.2 around November 2nd, and 3.3 should pop up just ahead of the winter holidays around December 7th. Versions 3.0 to 3.2 will last five weeks, although HoYoVerse says the shift shouldn’t reduce the amount of new stuff in each version.
