The livestream featured everything you can expect on March 30, when the 2.6 Zephyr of the Violet Garden update will be available. Of course, the greatest attention was focused on the new character – Kamisato Ayato.
Ayato’s profile was outlined in the stories of heroes such as Ayaka, Thoma, Arataki Itto, Raiden Shogun or Yae Miko, but its trailer was officially presented during the livestream. The actor who voiced Ayato and was the special guest of the broadcast was also introduced. In the English version it is Chris Hackney, in the Chinese Zhaolu, the Korean Jang Minhyeok, and in the Japanese Akira Ishida, known e.g. with roles such as Kaworu from Evangeliona , Kotarou Katsura from Gintama , Gaara from Naruto , Fyodor Dostoyevsky from Bungou Stray Dogs , Mikage from Kamisama Hajimamashit and Akaza from Demon Slayer .
Ayato wields a sword and is a five-star user of the Hydro element. Its story will be presented in a special Story Quest.
Ayato and the rest of the characters from Inazuma will welcome Vati, Klee, Albedo and Xingqiu to the festival, which will be the next event in Update 2.6. According to the leaks and the trailer that was released during the stream, it promises to be very exciting and many fans of the game are waiting for it impatiently. It is worth adding that this is the first event festival from Inazuma that appeared in Genshin . Previously, players had the opportunity to participate in Lantern Rite from Liyue and Windblume from Mondstadt.
The new region – Chasm also attracts attention. It is a mining district in Liyue located next to Qingxu Pool, where the battle between the god Geo Morax and Azhdaha took place. More about the history of this place will be told by Dainsleif, who will reappear and guide players through the newest Archon Quest Requiem of the Echoing Dephts .
2.6 will also serve players two reruns: Venti, who will hit the second banner with Ayato, and Ayaki in the second part of the update. In addition, there will be a new weapon to get – the Haran Geppaku Futsu sword focused on CRIT Rate. There will also be new artifacts.
Genshin Impact will keep players’ attention not only with the festival and quests, but also with more and different events where you can get primogems, items for upgrading weapons and characters, and much more, including the four-star Xingqiu.
Update 2.6 promises to be extremely exciting and after a rather calm, almost ending update 2.5, it will surely attract a large audience to the screens of computers and phones. It is only worth remembering about pre-installation to prepare your hardware for the update before March 30.
