Genshin Impact's long -awaited 5.6 update is scheduled for May 7, 2025. Following the regular Hoyooverse schedule, the new patch promises to move the game's universe with the arrival of unpublished characters, a new exploitable island and a series of temporary events.
- DLC by Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Daima has leaked details
- Diablo IV announces unprecedented partnership with Berserk
The game, which has maintained a faithful base of players since its debut in 2020, now bets on a content expansion with potential to redefine the current goal. In addition to the news on the map, the Update will introduce a new world boss and important adjustments in the composition of the teams.
New characters promise to change the competitive scenario
The 5.6 Update will bring two new characters: SCOFFIER and IFA. The first, briefly revealed in the Varesa trailer, uses a Cryo view aligned with Ouia and should play supporting role, strengthening allies of the same element. There is still no official confirmation about its rarity, but speculation point to a five -star character.
IFA will be a healer with anemus vision and use of catalyst. Its main ability is to increase the group's elemental proficiency, as well as restore allies' lives. Due to its constellations, it is likely to be a four -star character, with emphasis on improvements that appear at the highest constellation levels.
Version 5.6 banners divided into two phases
Low information indicates that banners will be divided into two phases, such as usual. The first will include Escoffier, Kinich, IFA, Layla and Thoma. In the next phase, Raiden Shogun and Navia assume the protagonism, with the maintenance of IFA, Layla and Thoma in the rotation.
This configuration reinforces the presence of characters with varied elementary synergies, favoring the diversity of compositions. Thus, the most strategic players will be able to test new combinations in high -level battles.
Unpublished island and new boss expand the Fontaine universe
The geographical expansion will come with a new island, which according to speculation resembles the Petchor region, south of Fontaine. This new territory will include a world boss called “Overse Device,” classified as an enemy Cryo and vulnerable to the skills associated with the Nightsoul blessing.
In addition to the head of the new island, the update will include a weekly opponent in Mondstadt. The recommendation for players is to reinforce the team with Natlan characters in order to explore the weaknesses of the new opponent.
Special events shake the community in May
Among the highlights of version 5.6 of Genshin Impact are the thematic events that will give players valuable rewards and unpublished challenges. The schedule includes:
- Fiery Legends: Crossover Clash
- Torrential Flow: Tactical Simulation
- Harmonic Ballet
- Strategic Wargame Chronicles
These events, in addition to bringing new combat dynamics, encourages continuous participation of the community, maintaining engagement over the post-launch weeks.
