While the festive spirit of the upcoming Lantern Rite festival is already brewing, Genshin Impact players can also look forward to the next major update, version 4.4. This update promises exciting new content, including the long-awaited Liyue expansion, Chenyu Vale, and a challenging new enemy lineup for the Spiral Abyss.
Genshin Impact 4.4: Chenyu Vale Expansion
This expansive northern region is said to connect to Fontaine’s port, further expanding Teyvat’s already vast world. Leaks suggest that Yilong Port will serve as the entry point from Liyue, while Qiaoying Village, bordering Fontaine and Liyue, will play a key role in exploring the region.
Chenyu Vale is rumored to feature several new Statues of the Seven, additional teleport waypoints, and an offering shrine. Centered around the majestic Mt. Yaojun, the region boasts a “relatively humid” climate compared to its neighbors, attributed to its numerous mountains and rivers.
Legends abound within Chenyu Vale, adding depth and intrigue to the area. One tale speaks of the “Herblord, an Adeptus who once ruled Mt. Yaojun and cultivated unique tea trees alongside mysterious rituals. Another legend describes a jade slab possessing the power to summon “sweet rains,” earning the region the nickname “Jade-Sinking.”
The leak suggests that Chenyu Vale might be released either alongside the Lantern Rite Festival or concurrently with the 4.4 update itself. While these dates are not official and subject to change, they hint at a possible January 31, 2024 launch.
Spiral Abyss: Facing New Enemies
Along with the new region, leaks have also revealed the formidable array of enemies players will face in the Spiral Abyss Floor 12 of Genshin Impact 4.4. This lineup features powerful foes like Setekh Wenut, Ruin Serpent, and Aeonblight Drake, each presenting unique challenges and requiring specific strategies to overcome.
