In contrast with the tropical rainforest, the harsh desert of Sumeru boasts a beauty scorched by the sun and perilous. At the heart of the desert stands the majestic Mausoleum of King Deshret and dungeon brimming with puzzles, mechanisms and robotic guardians powered by the ancient technologies of the vanished god and his lost civilization. The desert also hosts the village of Aaru, the largest settlement of the desert people and a safe haven for exiled scholars, along with vast quantities of information. As players delve deeper into the desert region, the Sumeru Archon quest continues to unfold, with the emergence of other factions, including two Fatui Harbingers, The Doctor and Scaramouche. Powered by unknown technologies, two mechanical monstrosities will debut as new Enemy Bosses. The algorithm of the semi-permanent matrix of the Overseer Network serves as the guardian mechanism guarding the Mausoleum of King Deshret and can become invisible during combat. Another new enemy boss, Aeonblight Drake, will challenge players in the rainforest with distinct attack patterns.
Meanwhile, three Sumeru characters will be available for players to recruit as allies in their squads. After her debut as a dancer, Nilou will join as a playable character as a five-star Hydro, combining her elegant dance moves with the sword. The reliable general Mahamatra Cyno is ready for battle in the role of a five-star electro polearm wielder. He’s also a fan of Genius Invokation, a brand-new collectible card game that will be added with version 3.3! Candace, the half-sister of King Deshret, will debut as the guardian of the desert people and the Aaru village. Brandishing her Hydro Vision and a polearm, she will be available as a four-star character in the Event Wishes alongside Cyno and Venti during the first half of version 3.1. The rerun of Nilou and Albedo will follow in the second half of the update.
Far away from the desert, in Mondstadt, the annual Weinlesefest will celebrate the moment of preparing and tasting the wine of the year with the Anemo Archon. Players will have the opportunity to gather with friends in Mondstadt and help Razor discover more about his past. Weinlesefest also offers a significant seasonal event with a limited time and four different mini-games. Players can redeem various rewards, including a new four-star weapon, Missive Windspear, along with its exclusive refinement materials, earning Festive Fever through the mini-games.
Other challenges and rewards await players in version 3.1. The event "Wind Chaser" will challenge participants to manage wind energy within a special Domain. In another event, "Star-Seeker's Sojourn", we’ll help a young girl fulfill her wish by seeking the Stars of the Future. Finally, you’ll be rewarded in the Spiral Abyss if you complete the Plan 4, Room 3, with the opportunity to recruit Collei for free. Additionally, the daily login event has returned, offering up to 10 free pulls and other items to claim. A total of 1,600 Primogems, 4 Resins and two unique gadgets, "Jumpy Dumpty Party Popper" and "Cloud Retainer's Damasked Device", will be delivered via in-game mail. To further enhance the player experience, version 3.1 includes several new features, including dynamic terrain deformation and a solution to better simulate realistic paths across sand. Meanwhile, additional DualSense controller support will be added to enable vibration feedback when characters unleash their Elemental Burst.
Genshin Impact version 3.1 arrives on 28 September. With cross-save and cross-play features, players can enjoy their adventure on PlayStation, PC, Android and iOS.
