Ready for another trip to Teyvat? Genshin Impact Version 7.1 is officially on the way, and it's bringing a whole lot of content with it.
The update, titled 'A Rekviem for the Underworld,' launches on September 23. Mark your calendars, because this one looks stacked.
First up, there's a brand-new Archon Quest. If you've been following the game's main storyline, you know these quests are always the highlight of any major update. Expect new lore, new twists, and probably some emotional damage along the way.
Two new characters are joining the roster: Vesna and Vodyanitsa. We don't have their kits or element details yet, but new faces always shake up team comps. Will they be must-pulls for your account? We'll find out soon enough.
On top of that, the Moonchase Festival is making a return. It's one of the game's most beloved events, so get ready for festive vibes, mini-games, and plenty of rewards.
And that's not all—Version 7.1 also marks Genshin Impact's sixth anniversary. That's right, six years of adventuring. You can bet HoYoverse has something special planned for the celebration, whether it's free pulls, login bonuses, or other goodies.
