Tomorrow, Genshin Impact will receive its awaited Version 1.5. While we wait for its arrival, let's do a quick summary of the upcoming new content.
Playable characters
Eula, the Spindrift Knight from Mondstadt, and Yanfei, Liyue Harbor's legal adviser, are the two confirmed characters for this new version. We haven't seen much from Eula yet, just some of her moves during some of the latest trailers (below). On the other hand, Yanfei received an exclusive video showing her abilities. Plus, there's much information about her personality and background.
Also, Zhongli's banner will return (more about it below).
New bosses
The Cryo Hypostasis, also known as "Daleth", and the Geo-based dragon called Azhdaha are two rivals to fear. You can see more about them and their abilities here.
The Serenitea Pot system
A brand new Housing System is coming for Travelers. Using the Serenitea Pot item, they will be able to create their own homes and decorate them with unique furnishings. This feature will also include a gardening system of some kind in the future.
