Genshin Impact 4.6 Leaks

Release Date

Based on the game’s usual six-week update cycle, and with version 4.5 arriving on March 13, version 4.6 is expected to be released on April 24.

Banner

The only character currently leaked for version 4.6 is Arlecchino. Details about her kit have also emerged, suggesting her strong presence in the update. With version 4.5 introducing a third banner, version 4.6 might follow suit, but specifics remain unclear.

New Artifact Sets

Two new artifact sets are rumored to arrive in version 4.6. One set is believed to be specifically tailored for the upcoming character, Arlecchino, while the other focuses on Elemental Mastery (EM). Here’s a possible breakdown of the EM set:

  • 2-piece Set: Potential EM increase of 80, similar to existing sets.
  • 4-piece Set:
    • Triggering the Burning reaction boosts EM for the entire team.
    • Hitting an enemy affected by Burning further increases your own EM.
    • This effect can be activated even when the character is off-field.

Story and Expansion

While concrete information is scarce, leaks hint at a new expansion in version 4.6 that could fill the empty space between Chenyu Vale and Fontaine. This aligns with the game’s typical pattern of releasing new areas. The expansion is speculated to be connected to the mysterious Khaenri’ah region.

Events

Events are a fantastic way to amass Primogems, the in-game currency used to acquire new characters and weapons through Wishes. Here’s a breakdown of the major events coming in Version 4.6:

  • Arataki Life Rock Rainbow Grand Tour (Flagship Event): This event, seemingly centered around our favorite beetle-loving oni, Arataki Itto, is poised to be the main attraction of Version 4.6. Following tradition, Flagship Events often reward players with a free 4-Star character. Consider saving your Primogems for other banners unless you’re aiming for a specific character on the Chronicled Banner.
  • Vibro-Crystal Applied Research: This event, making its third appearance, will challenge players to clear time-limited domains filled with enemies.
  • Windtrace: The Scheme of a Certain Strategy
  • Chronicles of the Dragon of Unique Form in Search of Battle

However, Klee’s absence from this summer event might leave some fans disappointed. But fret not, fashionistas! New outfits for Kirara, Nilou, and Wanderer are on the horizon, with at least one being a prestigious 5-star rarity. With the release date estimated around July 16th or 17th, 2024, the wait won’t be too long.

While these leaks provide exciting glimpses into the future of Genshin Impact, it’s essential to approach them with caution as plans may change before the final release. Nevertheless, with each new version promising fresh content and adventures, players can look forward to continuing their journey through the enchanting world of Teyvat.
