Summary
- Genshin Impact fans have discovered a hidden detail in the wishing animation background at the famous Monstadt tavern, Angel's Share.
- Limited Character Banners in Genshin Impact offer rare playable units for three weeks, with re-run banners later.
- Speculation has arisen about a potential Mondstadt expansion in Genshin Impact.
A Genshin Impact fan has noticed an interesting detail at the end of the game's iconic wishing animation. Wishing, also known as pulling on a banner, is one of the main mechanics in gacha-based games, allowing players to try their luck at acquiring new characters and weapons.
Genshin Impact features several interesting banners, but the most popular one by far is the Limited Character Banner. This banner showcases a variety of five-star and four-star playable units that are available for approximately three weeks. Players who miss the limited characters have the opportunity to pull for them again during re-run banners, which are usually spaced five to six updates apart.
A Twitter user named aka_no_ragunaru has shared a set of interesting images revealing what might be hidden at the end of Genshin Impact's famous wishing animation screen. According to the post, the image used for the background of this animation was apparently taken inside the well-known tavern named Angel's Share. Located in the main city of the Mondstadt region, this tavern sells drink-based food items that can be purchased by speaking to an NPC named Charles. The post garnered significant attention within the community, achieving over 23,000 likes and around 2,700 retweets. Many fans seem to agree that the background in the images bears a striking resemblance to the interior of the tavern.
Players have already started debating why HoYoverse chose to feature this image in the background. While there have been a lot of ideas, many fans agree that it was probably just used as a placeholder initially and there was no real reason to change it afterward. Some comments have highlighted that, from now on, every time they make a wish, they will be reminded of Genshin Impact's City of Freedom, which remains a fan-favorite region for a large part of the community.
Will Mondstadt Get an Expansion?
Every incredible journey through the world of Teyvat begins in the Anemo region, and many fans suspect that this will be where the main storyline concludes. For a long time, many credible leakers have hinted at a new Genshin Impact expansion to the north of Mondstadt.
The seventh confirmed region, Snezhnaya, is expected to be located north of Mondstadt, which suggests that the Anemo nation will likely be connected to the Cryo region. While there is still no official information on this matter, the fact that HoYoverse recently introduced a Liyue expansion leads many players to believe that the release of a new part of Mondstadt might not be too far in the future.

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

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!
