Alongside the character banners,Genshin Impactplayers may choose a free five-star character of their choosing from the Wanderlust Invocation Event Wish during the “A Quest to Kindle Ancient Flames” event. The “Turbo Twirly!” event will also be active when Version 5.0 launches, allowing players to add the new four-star character Kachina to their party for free. An all-new event called “Traces of Artistry” will be active until September 16 with limited-time challenges that may be completed to earn free Primogems, the new Ash-Graven Drinking Horn catalyst, and Crown of Insight materials.
Genius Invokation TCG will receive two limited-time events in Version 5.0: “The Forge Realm’s Temper: Game of Wits” and “Heated Battle Mode: Sprinting Stratagems.” The former will be available throughout the entirety of Version 5.0’s duration, while Heated Battle Mode will be available from September 7 to September 23. Completing stage challenges and duels will net players various rewards, including Lucky Coins.
One of the most rewarding events, “Gift for a New Horizon: A Thank-You Gift,” will arrive near the end of phase 1 on September 28.Genshin Impactplayers can earn up to 1,600 Primogems, along with additional rewards, for simply logging into the game for four consecutive days. This event will be active until the very end of Version 5.0. Before the event arrives, players may earn1,000 free Primogems inGenshin Impactby logging in between August 26 and August 30.
Genshin ImpactVersion 5.1is expected to be released sometime in early October and will add the highly-anticipated character, Xilonen. Fortunately, the first and second phases ofGenshin ImpactVersion 5.0 should ensure that players have enough Primogems to potentially summon Xilonen in Version 5.1 if they decide to save up every Primogem they earn throughout September.
