Next Update Brings GENSHIN IMPACT To Version 3.0

Bringing their game to the next official version of the game, developers miHoYo, also known as HoYoverse, are releasing version 3.0 for their free-to-play action role-playing game Genshin Impact! Soon players will step into the fourth nation of Sumeru and experience Dendro gameplay mechanics for the first time. Update to Version 3.0 is titled The Morn a Thousand Roses Bring and it will officially release on August 24th.

Here’s a summary of what they are bringing to the game:

  • Massive map expansion featuring the distinct rainforest and Sumeru City

  • Rich Archon Quests and World Quests available

  • Playable Dendro mechanics with brand-new elemental reactions

  • Playable Dendro characters including the Dendro Traveler, five-star archer Tighnari and four-star archer Collei

  • A chance to obtain Collei for free

Located west of Liyue, the massive region of Sumeru is divided into two main parts: rainforest and desert. Upon its release, players will be able to explore the dense rainforest and multiple settlements nestled within it, including Sumeru City and Port Ormos. Known as the Nation of Wisdom, Sumeru has the most prestigious historical institution called the Akademiya, founded by scholars loyal to the previous Archon Dendron, the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. When Lesser Lord Kusanali succeeded the previous Dendro Archon 500 years ago, making her the youngest of The Seven, the Akademiya has come to power as the governing body of the state, turning knowledge into a resource that is strictly managed.
