Genshin Impact is previewing the variety of events arriving with Version 3.5, including multiple ways to earn Primogems and two new quests. With the HoYoverse RPG gearing up to launch its newest update later this week, the developer has already given fans plenty of reasons to be excited about the next version. Genshin Impact will welcome its newest five-star character in Dehya in Version 3.5, as well as a new four-star from Mondstadt in Mika. The newest version will also feature plenty of new content for players to explore.

Genshin Impact's Version 3.5 Special Program earlier this month showed off all the new content players should expect in the upcoming version. The newest update will whisk players back to the Mondstadt region for the return of the Windblume Festival, teasing several mini-games including the return of Genshin Impact's rhythm mini-game. HoYoverse would also reveal several new spins on fan-favorite events from past patches, including an updated version of both the Fungi and Adventurer's Balloon mini-games. Now, the developer is sharing everything coming with Version 3.5's first half.
