Summary
- Genshin Impact players can receive 1,000 Primogems for free beginning on December 4.
- Players can use Primogems to obtain characters via the gacha banner system in the game.
- A new character, Chasca, will be available until December 10, inspiring players to invest in acquiring her.
A new Genshin Impact announcement has revealed that players will be able to get tons of Primogems for free as a thank you from HoYoverse for the game receiving a special reward. Genshin Impact's revenue revolves around its gacha banner system, which allows players to pull for two five-star and three four-star characters per banner cycle.
In order to get new characters, players need to spend either Intertwined Fates or Acquaint Fates, which can be bought in the in-game shop using a special currency called Primogems. Intertwined Fates are usually much more popular since they are used for getting characters from the Limited Character Banner, while Acquaint Fates can be spent to get playable units from the Standard Character Banner.
Fans Hope Genshin Impact Will Follow Honkai: Star Rail's Lead with New 5-Star Characters
Genshin Impact fans want HoYoverse to adopt Honkai: Star Rail's approach to introducing new characters, offering fresh takes on existing units.
HoYoverse often allows players to get Primogems for free in many different ways, from completing simple quests like the Daily Commissions to using promotional codes that are given out during every Genshin Impact Special Program event. Another way players receive a Primogem influx is when the game wins an award, which has not been rare in recent years. Since the game launched, players have been enjoying free Primogems whenever game awards approach at the end of the year. A new post on Genshin Impact's official Twitter account has revealed that Genshin Impact has won the Excellence Award for the PlayStation Partner Awards 2024. In honor of this win, HoYoverse will give out 1,000 Primogems over four days, starting December 4.
Genshin Impact Players Can Collect 1,000 Free Primogems
The post also confirmed that players will be able to collect these Primogems until the end of Genshin Impact Version 5.2, which should expire around December 31. Many fans in the comment section claim that these Primogems will come in handy in their pursuit to add the new character Chasca to their team. The S-tier DPS unit has proven to be one of the most fun-to-use characters in Genshin Impact.
Players who want to obtain Chasca or Lyney have less than a week to do so, as their banner is scheduled to expire around December 10. Developer HoYoverse has previously confirmed that the second banner phase will feature two very popular five-star characters: Genshin Impact's Geo Archon Zhongli and the Hydro Dragon from Fontaine, Neuvillette. Both characters are considered top-tier choices in their respective roles.
Even though the five-star lineup in 5.2 is stacked, many players will likely save their Primogems, as HoYoverse has already confirmed that Genshin Impact update 5.3 will feature the long-awaited Pyro Archon Mavuika. This character has made multiple in-game appearances, and recent beta data has revealed that she will be an offensive unit capable of filling multiple roles, similar to all the previously introduced Archons.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
