HoYoversehosted aTwitch stream regardingGenshin Impact’s third anniversaryevent and rewards and what is to come in version 4.1 on September 15. “Bathing in the Flowing Moonlight” is the third anniversary event. The rewards also include 1,600 primogems, 4 fragile resins, a new pet known as Itty Bitty Octobaby, and a portable aerodynamic gelatinous bubble generator that can be claimed via in-game mail. The upcoming event and rewards resemble those of the past two years, which many players did not enjoy.
TheGenshin Impactplayerbase can redeem codesthat will reward them as well, but that is far from enough for some fans. After theGenshin Impact’s livestream via Twitch, fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the announcement on social media. One user wantsGenshin Impactto be more generous like one of its predecessors,Honkai Impact 3rd, while others requested a free character.
It is up to HoYoverse if it wants to be very generous or not when it comes to these types of events just as how it is up to players if they want to spend the time and money on this game or not. Although manyGenshin Impactfans are yet again disappointed by this year’s anniversary event and rewards, many of them have been sporting profile pictures of new and upcoming characters such as Neuvillette, Wriothesley, and therumored NPC Furina who may become playable soon.
Genshin Impactis available to play for free on Android, iOS, PC, PS4, and PS5. It is also currently in development for the Nintendo Switch.
