Genshin Impact 5.3 Update Scheduled for Next Year

Get ready, Genshin Impact fans! The much-anticipated version 5.3, dubbed "Incandescent Ode of Resurrection," is set to launch on January 1st, 2025. This update is packed with exciting new content that will keep you engaged for hours on end.

In this update, you'll be greeted with a bounty of free rewards, including 1600 Primogems, a new glider called "Wings of Fate's Course Intertwined," 10 Intertwined Fates, a free four-star Liyue character, and a fresh outfit for Xiangling. These goodies will be available through in-game mail, daily log-in events, and the Festive Fever event.

The narrative deepens with Act Five of the Natlan's Archon Quest, where Mauvika and the Traveler will confront the Abyss. Additionally, you'll gain access to the new Pyro element, enhancing your gameplay experience. Three new characters will join the fray: five-star characters Mavuika and Citlali, and four-star character Lan Yan. Mavuika introduces a thrilling new feature—a motorbike!

The Hoyoverse is set to kick off your new year with a bang. The Lantern Rite returns, bringing with it two new outfits for Hu Tao and Xiangling, two new bosses, and the permanent addition of the Rhythm Game. There's so much to explore and enjoy, you'll want to dive in as soon as version 5.3 goes live!

With all these updates, our Genshin Impact tier list will need another overhaul, but that's a small price to pay for such rich content. Before you jump into the new version, don't forget to check our list of Genshin Impact promo codes to give yourself a head start with some valuable boosts.
