Genshin Impact's low Primogem count for Version 5.6 will make earning Primogems even more valuable with lots on the way from the RPG. The update will feature the return of Genshin Impact's "Chronicled Wish" banner, allowing players to choose from a selection of several featured five-star characters. The new Chronicled Wish will center around Inazuma characters, with fan-favorite characters like Ayaka, Kokomi, and Yae Miko among the available characters from the banner. A release date for the Inazuma Chronicled Wish banner was not confirmed.
The upcoming launch of Version 5.6 comes as Genshin Impact has already begun to tease the game's next region. A recent web event from Genshin Impact officially revealed Nod-Krai, the first segment of Snezhnaya players will arrive to during the Version 6.0 update. HoYoverse also hinted at some of the factions set to play a major role in Nod-Krai's story, with groups like the Knights of Favonius, the Hexenzirkel, and the Treasure Hoarders said to be involved. Genshin Impact fans shouldn't have to wait much longer to learn even more about the RPG's next locale.
