- Update 1.5 will be released on the same day
- He brings new characters and opponents to play with
If miHoYo last said that the PS5 version of Genshin Impact will be released in the spring, now it might be coming sooner than you thought.
In less than two weeks, you can play Genshin Impact on the PlayStation 5, because the company announced today April 28, 2021 as the release date – new update 1.5 will also come on the same day.
Version 1.5 gives you deeper insight into other characters and their stories, for example you can learn more about the story of Liyue with Zhongli in the second chapter of his legendary mission. You can follow Noelle’s story or take a break from Dionna’s maid with a new invite event.
With Eula and Yanfei, two new playable characters have been added. MiHoYo described it as follows:
- Iola, the new five-star character, the Gestretrin, is the leader of the Ordu Vafonios rebel army. With a two-handed sword and its cooling power, it could damage the freezing area and increase its resistance to interference with its basic and special abilities.
- Another new character is Yanfei, a four-star fighter with a Bayrou motif. Born in Liyue’s quiet period, Yanfi is a half-human, half-skilled girl who has devoted her life to studying and interpreting Liyue’s laws and regulations.
Plus, there are 2 new enemies waiting for you to fight. Azhdaha, Geo Dragon Lech King, is the fourth Area Cleansing opponent who offers a rare reward once a week if you can beat him.
Meanwhile, Chill Swell was added as a new main opponent in Drachgrat. It uses different attack sequences and can reward you with different resources, including some ingredients to level up your character.
You’ll get your own private world in Update 1.5 with the Meridian Jug. It’s created by a Liyue follower and offers you a home inside that you can furnish and decorate in a variety of styles – “with plenty of room for outdoor recreation and indoor luxury,” he says.
In terms of gameplay, the developer has halved the cost of collecting the first three prizes for clearing the area each week, while doubling the friendship value of characters in multiplayer.
The PS5 version, of course, can also be downloaded for free at launch.
