The v3.0 patch will be a significant update to Genshin Impact over the latest v2.8 patch as it will introduce a new region called Sumeru. This is the homeland of Lesser Lord Kusanali, who goes by the more familiar title of Dendro Archon. As fans will likely know, Kusanali is currently the youngest of the seven Archons at only 500 years old and was given the title after the former Archon of Sumeru, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, perished in a cataclysm.
Genshin Impact 3.0 will also bring three new characters, including Collei and Tighnari who are both from the Avidya Forest, as well as a merchant named Dori. Tighnari is an Avidya Forest Watcher who puts her large ears to good use. Meanwhile, Collei is a Ranger Trainee who is a friend of core character Amber who hasn’t seen her in such a long time that she wonders if Collei has grown taller. Dori on the other hand is a merchant known for acquiring experimental materials no matter how rare they are.
The upcoming livestream will likely confirm or deny various rumors and leaks of the 3.0 update. Apparently, a male character codenamed “Al-Haitham” that looks like Su from Honkai Impact 3rd, another game by the developer, will be featured. Various characters and artifacts were also revealed along with their descriptions, but given the developer’s aggressive policy against leakers, many have decided not to ratify or even discuss this information for fears of receiving a DMCA.
In other news, Warner Bros. is reportedly exploring options to replace Ezra Miller possibly for the Flash movie, and the Splatoon 3 Nintendo Direct has revealed the trio Deep Cut as the game’s hosts.
