A stranger who just arrived
Launch time: September 28, 2020
When players first arrived at the continent of Teyvat, they entered the game as strangers, and then staged a heroic rescue drama – fishing Paimon who fell into the sea. This version launched two initial maps, “Mondstadt” and “Liyue”, and opened the main storyline chapter of Mondstadt and two chapters of Liyue at the same time. The overall puzzle difficulty is relatively low. In terms of character updates, there are 14 four-star characters including Xiangling, Razor, Amber, Fischl, Bennett, and Noelle, and five five-star characters. According to statistics, Xiangling is the character with the highest usage rate in version 1.0. With the help of the characters, players gradually learn to explore the big world, use wind wings, use elemental reactions and other basic operations.
A little tip! At the beginning of the service, the famous stalk “Do something serious, Barbatos” was born in Wendy’s character PV “Four Winds”. The reason is that Wendy drinks and recites poems in Mondstadt all day, does not do his job, and fools around, so he was complained by the wind dragon Tevarin.
Title: Visitors under the Night
Release time: November 11, 2020
Version 1.1 was launched on November 11, which is great! No new map areas were opened in this version, but the final chapter of the Liyue main line in the previous version was updated, and the Liyue main line ended. At the end, Zhongli also revealed the news of Inazuma’s lock on the country to the players, paving the way for the subsequent plot.

Zhizhi gave this version a full score hehehehehe~ “Give me another ten seconds, Tok!” (I won’t say who shed tears)

At the same time, a new weather system, “Blizzard”, was introduced in conjunction with the map.

Title: Invitation to the Lantern Festival
Launch time: February 3, 2021
Although no new map areas are opened in this version, the first major festival of Liyue, the Lantern Festival (the prototype is the Lantern Festival), is ushered in. In the game, every Lunar New Year, Liyue Harbor will decorate with lights and fly lanterns to welcome the arrival of the Lantern Festival. The NPCs are particularly enthusiastic and the pictures are quite beautiful, but the players are “running their legs off”. After unlocking the legendary quest of the new character Xiao, you can start the plot of festival-related activities.
A little mention! The popular hot topic: “So you also play Genshin Impact?” comes from the 1.3 version preview special program advertising short film, as the ending of the short film, it is quite magical.
