Genshin Impact Update 1.1 Will Be Launching On November 11
Genshin Impact will be getting its first major post-launch update next week with the release of Update 1.1. The update, called “A New Star Approaches” will continue the game’s storyline and will feature new story quests, the addition of a City Reputation system, and new unlockable characters including two 5-star characters: Childe and Zongli.
“Childe is a Hydro archer with the ability to switch between melee and ranged combat modes, while Zhongli is a Geo polearm user who deals immense area of effect damage, possesses strong defensive abilities, and has the power to petrify his enemies. Two new 4-star characters, Xinyan and Diona, offer opportunities for players to further diversify their party of four for more effective elemental combos and combat strategies.”
The update will also mark the start of the game’s first seasonal event called Unreconciled Stars. For the duration of the two-week event, players will gain access to a series of new quests and will be able to participate in new co-op challenges for a chance to earn various rewards including the 4-star character Fischl.
Players can also look forward to new tools such as portable stoves and waypoints, a treasure compass, and oculus resonance stones which will be useful when exploring the vast lands of Teyvat.
Update 1.1 is scheduled to arrive on November 11th on PC, PlayStation 4, Android and iOS. You'll find the official update trailer at the end of the post.
In other Genshin Impact news, Sensor Tower reports that players have spent $245 million on the game in the first month alone and is now the highest revenue generator on both Google Play and the App Store. It’s not enough to beat Pokemon Go’s $283 million but it was enough to beat other popular mobile games including Lineage 2: Revolution, Fortnite mobile, and Fire Emblem Heroes.
