Genshin Impact 4.2 Release Date
The Genshin Impact 4.2 update is set to drop on November 8, following the conclusion of the second phase of version 4.1. Each version of Genshin Impact lasts 42 days, divided into two 21-day phases. With the first phase of 4.1 ending on October 18 and the second phase on November 7, fans can expect the preinstallation feature to be available a couple of days prior to the official release.
Genshin Impact 4.2 Livestream Date
To build anticipation for the upcoming version, Genshin Impact holds a livestream two weeks before the release. For 4.2, mark your calendar for October 27, a Friday. The livestream will be available on the official Genshin Impact Twitch channel, followed by the game’s YouTube channel later in the day.
Genshin Impact 4.2 Banners: Characters and Weapons
In the first half of Genshin Impact 4.2, players can expect banners featuring Furina and Baizhu, while the second half will showcase Cyno and Ayato. The order of the second-half banners remains a mystery. As for four-star characters, the first half introduces Charolette, Beidou, and Collei, with no information available yet on the second-half characters.
The weapon banner for Genshin Impact 4.2 is equally enticing, with Furina’s and Baizhu’s signature weapons, “Splendor of Still Waters” and “Jadefall’s Splendor,” making an appearance in the first phase. In the second phase, the weapon banner will likely feature “Staff of the Scarlet Sands” and “Haran Geppaku Futsu,” the signature weapons of Cyno and Ayato, respectively. Stay tuned for more details on these weapons and characters.
Genshin Impact Map Expansion
The world of Teyvat is set to expand further eastward into Fontaine, adding new islands and even an underwater region. The current Fontaine map is stretched vertically, but Genshin Impact 4.2 will introduce more regions to the right, towards Liyue. This expansion also hints at the forthcoming Liyue region called Chenyu Vale, anticipated in 4.4. Many travelers enter Fontaine via Chenyu Vale, as it offers a less treacherous route compared to the Sumeru Desert.
Genshin Impact 4.2: New Bosses
Version 4.2 will bring a new weekly boss with strong ties to the lore and story of Childe. Leaked models of this boss suggest it will be a formidable adversary, featuring phases where it summons a figure resembling Childe in Foul Legacy form and the seven Knights from the Chasm.
While details are scarce about another boss, it’s worth keeping an eye out for updates on upcoming Genshin Impact 4.2 bosses.
Genshin Impact 4.2 Events
Four exciting events have been leaked for Genshin Impact 4.2, including a flagship event hosted by an NPC named Thelxie. This event will be a battle extravaganza where players can earn various buffs to tackle challenges. Successful completion of event objectives will reward players with event-specific currency, redeemable for a free character, Freminet, and other valuable rewards.
Other events on the horizon for 4.2 include “Five Flushes of Fortune,” “Fabulous Fungus Frenzy,” and “Misty Dungeon: Realm of Light.”
Get ready to embark on another thrilling journey through the world of Teyvat when Genshin Impact 4.2 arrives on November 8. With new characters, expanded maps, challenging bosses, and exciting events, this update promises to keep players enchanted and engaged for days to come.
