Genshin Impact has long proven to be a sleeping lion in the competitive jungle of playable gruel. Although there have always been high and low versions, it seems that from 4.7 they want to reaffirm why they are the kings of the genre by bringing three new playable characters, the return of Furina, a very important mission for the future of the travelers and a beautiful animated short. Not to mention, the preview of what we can find in Natlan; the Fire Nation.
Redemption codes, characters and more were revealed in the Genshin Impact 4.7 livestream.
There’s no doubt that we’ve had a hectic week in terms of open-world gruel. The competition between Genshin Impact and Whutering Waves to attract new and old players is palpable and has led to hype for what they were going to show during this morning’s livestream of version 4.7. The first thing that was shown was the skill kit that the new characters that will arrive in a few days will have: Clorinde, Sigewine and Sethos.
In the case of Clorinde, she is a DPS of the Electro element, which carries a sword that transforms into an elegant musket that she uses to give life to her frenetic gameplay that is very similar to that of the protagonist of the Bayonetta saga. Added to this, Fontaine’s protector will have a lot of affinity with the vital pact mechanics, which will make her a combat unit capable of rivaling the most powerful being of her element, the Shogun Raiden. On the other hand, there is Sigewinne, a nice melusine that we met in this nation and that will act as a new support based on the Hydro element.
As for Sethos, we will have in him a 4-star, bow user, who will base his gameplay on being the trigger of the powerful reactions related to the Dendro element, being a companion with a lot of latent potential in Genshin Impact.
The next novelty presented during this event were the promotional banners for the 4.7 version of Genshin Impact to be released in June. Here we could finally confirm the long awaited return of Fontaine’s “Archon”: the duality called Furina. Also, we learned that Alhaitham, user of the Dendro element will be in charge of accompanying her as the units that will have a rerun (return) for the happiness of the people who long to team up with these endearing and powerful characters.
Thus, the first promotional banner of Genshin Impact will be conformed by Clorinde and Alhaitham together with Sethos and two more characters yet to be confirmed after the end of the current version. Once the first part is finished, both Furina and Sigewinne will be in charge of closing the 4.7 banner together with three more companions, among which the name of Kaveh is being considered; who has not returned to the game after the controversy that was unleashed around him thanks to his ability to be used as a hack within the game.
But something else was still missing; a few days ago, the trailer for a short animated film that would be called “The Road We Didn’t Take” was announced. This future animation, which showed Aether and Lumine (protagonists of the game) holding hands, marked a coming soon as a description, so the hype that was generated was huge by the community since many thought it was going to be a preview of the mysterious and secret anime of Genshin Impact announced a year ago.
However, it was a big surprise when during the 4.7 livestream, we were able to see this short film in its entirety, leaving everyone with emotions running high. As soon as the video starts, it manages to perfectly emulate the beginning of the game to then give us a glimpse of the long road that both beings have traveled in their unfortunate passage through Teyvat. Here we could see that the path of the travelers has not been easy and even more so for the one who starts his journey much earlier.
Thus, this version, which will bring back the mythical and revered Dainsleif, will allow us to meet again with that longed-for relative of whom we could not hear anything for almost 4 years. In case you want to see the incredible animated short, here is the link: Link.
Finally, and as it is customary in the versions prior to the arrival of an upcoming region; we could have an exclusive glimpse of Natlan, the Pyro nation in Genshin Impact. So in these short seconds we had the opportunity to confirm the existence of Dinosaurs, the possibility of using them as mounts and a small view of the rocky geography of this new region.
