Summary
Genshin Impacthas revealed the highly anticipated mount feature of Natlan, as well as the character banners and new features coming in Version 4.7. Though mostGenshin Impactplayers were hoping for Dainsleif to make his annual appearance sooner, Version 4.7 will focus heavily on the twins and the Bough Keeper in the new Archon Quest. However, from a gameplay perspective, the three highlights of the upcoming patch are the Imaginarium Theater, a raise of the Original Resin cap, and the debut of Clorinde, Sigewinne, and Sethos.
Thebanner order for Version 4.7has been confirmed to feature Clorinde and Alhaitham in the first half of the update, while Sigewinne and Furina will headline the second half. Contrary to previous speculation, Sethos will appear with Alhaitham and Clorinde as one of the featured 4-Star characters. Though the other 4-Stars remain unknown,Genshin Impactplayers are holding out hope that Kaveh will be among them.
TheGenshin Impactlivestream was hosted by the voice actors of Dainsleif, Aether, Sigewinne, and Clorinde. It featured the debut of a new Animated Short, which told the story of Aether and Lumine’s journey on Teyvat. The new Archon Quest will finally see the twins reunited in a continuation of the narrative threads established in Caribert. Furthermore, theSpiral Abyss inGenshin Impactwon’t be the only endgame activity, as the Imaginarium Theater will be introduced in Version 4.7. It will allowGenshin Impactplayers to complete combat challenges both with their own roster, but also with up to one character from their friend’s account.
Genshin Impact Introducing Different Types of Mounts in Natlan
However, the true highlight of the livestream ended up coming at the very end, where Natlan’s vibrant environment was showcased using theupcoming mount feature ofGenshin Impact. Many different types of mounts, with different movement skills and abilities, will make up the main exploration mechanic of Natlan in Version 5.0 and beyond, and each seem to have a draconic inspiration in their design.
Overall, it would seem that Version 4.7 is packed with content, as it will feature the next Archon Quest with Dainsleif, two new Story Quests, several combat events, and the Imaginarium Theater.Version 4.8 ofGenshin Impactwill let players roam around in a temporary Summer Event zone, as the last two updates in the Fontaine patch cycle will prepare players for the Natlan chapter ofGenshin Impact, slated to arrive in late August 2024 with Version 5.0.
