Genshin Impact 3.4 Release Date & Livestream Time
On January 6, 2023, at 7:00 AM (UTC-5), the official Genshin Impact Twitch channel will do a Livestream for the latest 3.4 version. You can also watch the stream on HoYoverse’s YouTube channel. HoYoverse has reverted to its previous update schedule of six weeks after a short window where new content was released every five weeks. With a release date of January 18, 2023, Genshin Impact 3.4 will run until March 1, 2023, known as “The Exquisite Night Chimes“.
Genshin Impact 3.4 Outfit Skins
In patch 3.4, both Kamisato Ayaka and Lisa will receive a new skin: Ayaka will get Springbloom Missive, while Lisa will don A Sobriquet Under Shade. The former can be seen at the Warrior’s Spirit event, although it’s not a freebie. As part of the Second Blooming event, players can earn a free outfit for Lisa. Her outfit will be themed after her time as a Sumeru Akademiya student. Compared to her original outfit, Lisa’s new one has more lace and sweet colors.
New Area
Genshin Impact version 3.4 will introduce a new area in the Sumeru Desert known as the Desert of Hadramaveth. This area is rumored to be a powerful and explorable area probably connected with the Sandworm World Boss. The location will feature new World Quests, a music festival, and many events. Players can expect to receive new Primogems for their efforts and a new boss fight with Setekh Wenut in this area. This formidable boss uses Anemo’s sonic abilities to track down and defeat its target.
Genshin Impact 3.4 Events
There are some new events in the latest version 3.4 and one of the biggest is the Lantern Rite festival, which includes mini-games and a story quest; you will earn many rewards alongside a limited-time card game mode. During the Festival, you will be able to earn festive Fever to unlock free 4-star Liyue characters. Activities central to the Lantern Rite include:
- In Liyue Art: Paper Theater, you must assemble a paper play by exchanging different parts.
- In Radiant Sparks, you run a time trial against the clock, but with a twist: you can turn into a fireworks boom and break through any obstacles.
- In Floating Lanterns Mystique, you’ll be tasked with navigating a boat to retrieve a series of floating lanterns.
Further after acquiring Festive Fever event currency, you can summon a four-star Liyue character to your party, such as Yaoyao. There will be a periodic login event called May Fortune Find You that will begin during the Lantern Ritual. Logging in during this special event will reward you with 10 Intertwined Fates. Additionally, the Genshin Impact staff will use the in-game mail system to provide extra three Intertwined Fates, bringing the total to thirteen.
In the Almighty Arataki Extraordinary and Exhilarating Extreme Beetle Brawl event, you will engage in a simulated battle amongst bugs. Warrior’s Spirit brings back the combat tournament mode, where abilities are disabled and parrying is the only way to avoid damage.
Second Bloom is a three-round combat challenge where linked characters can earn benefits. During this promotion, you can acquire Lisa’s brand new Sumeru-themed outfit for free. Finally, 8 Omni Element Dice will be provided to you at the outset of every game in the Genius Invokation card game’s new Heated Battle Mode. This mode will introduce a new special rule with each new release.
