Update 3.0 for Genshin Impact

The developers of Genshin Impact are preparing for the release of a major new update to their game. Gamers will be able to appreciate the unprecedented in size patch, which has not previously been released for the popular Chinese game. What’s just a new game location Sumeru – it will be available new quests, the denouement of storylines, unique characters and items.

It’s time to bring all the available information in one piece, so that everyone can prepare for the looking events and assess the scale of the update Genshin Impact!

Genshin Impact 3.0 release date

The developers announced a new update recently. The release is scheduled for August 23, 2022. That means we have a little less than a month to prepare the characters for the new location! It is noteworthy that the current game version 2.8 will immediately jump to 3.0, because the update will be too extensive to consider it another patch.

The developers have also promised to reveal new details about the upcoming update in the traditional stream on Twitch. Usually such broadcasts are held one week before the release date, that means, we should expect the broadcast on August 12.

Full Region in Genshin Impact Sumeru

Sumeru is a huge new region in which certain character storylines will unfold. The developers have not yet disclosed the exact details, but curious insiders have managed to dig up some interesting news.

In particular, in Sumeru there will be new characters, a lot of unique quests and enemies. In addition, according to insiders, the region will receive further development in the next updates. If now the scale of the map is several times inferior to the large Li Yue, then in the foreseeable future Sumeru will be able to overtake the kingdom not only in area, but also in the amount of content.

By the way, insiders managed to get a map of the new region in Genshin Impact. From the available image we can already judge about the huge scale of the location.

3 New Heroes in Genshin Impact 3.0

Genshin Impact 3.0 will also get new playable characters! And the developers have promised to add three heroes, each with new abilities and their own story arcs.

Of course, the developers have not officially confirmed the exact characteristics of the characters and their class, but the insiders do not sleep! Already now we can share with you extended details about the new heroes:

Gallery Update 3.0 for Genshin Impact

• Tignari: A hero with five stars and the element Dendro. The character uses a long-range bow as a weapon and can deal massive damage to nearby enemies. Tignari is also able to locate useful and hidden places in the Sumeru region!
• Dori: A four-star hero with the element Electro. Despite her pretty appearance, she wields a heavy two-handed sword! But aside from dealing a lot of damage in combat, Dory can come to Jin’s aid and combine her skills with his abilities. And if the battle gets really bad, you can quickly build a Turret and gradually restore your energy to 100% with it.
• Collies: Another four-star character with the Dendro element. Like Tignari, in combat he prefers to use his bow and deal spot damage to strong enemies and gradual area damage. Boasts a passive skill that boosts the active hero’s stamina by an extra 20%!

Unfortunately, neither insiders nor journalists have been able to get information on how the new Genshin Impact heroes can be unlocked. But we can predict that at least one hero will definitely be unlocked after completing the storyline in Sumeru.

New Events & Artifacts in Genshin Impact 3.0

You couldn’t help but count on the plethora of new events that will become available in the new Sumeru region. With these, you can delve deeper into the history of individual game characters, as well as NPCs. Insiders have also learned that several mini-games will be added as new events. So far, we only know about four of the events:

• Fairy event
• Combat Event
• Tree-cutting event (analog from update 2.3)
• Event for a time on the destruction of mobs.

We should also expect the addition of new rare artifacts in Genshin Impact 3.0. But their complete list is not yet available.
