Genshin Impact players will soon encounter the Sumeru desert in the upcoming version 3.1. Before that, they can gain more information regarding the new area by watching the next Special Program.

On September 14, the developers announced the date and day for the next Genshin Impact livestream. In addition to the latest official news for the upcoming game content and developments, fans will also obtain three new Primogem codes as rewards.


Accessing Genshin Impact Version 3.1 Special Program

Genshin Impact fans need to know that there will be two sessions for the live stream.

The community can expect three new redemption codes to be released during the live stream, just like previous Special Programs. Each code will provide 100 Primogems, meaning players can gain 300 Primogems.

Travelers can claim the code using the official redemption website or the in-game method. Primogems and other rewards will then be sent to their in-game mail with an expiration date of 30 days.

Another important note regarding the new redemption codes is that they will expire within 12 hours after release. So once the code is released during the Special Program, players are recommended to claim it as fast as possible before they accidentally forget.


3 new characters in Genshin Impact version 3.1

One of the main news in the live stream will most likely be the announcement of the character banners featuring three new playable characters. Before version 3.0 was updated, the developers revealed three units that have the highest potential to be released in version 3.1:

  1. Cyno (Electro)
  2. Nilou (Hydro)
  3. Candace (Hydro)

Tidbits of the respective characters' background stories have been announced to players, but the rarity of each unit will not be revealed until the Special Program on September 16.

Aside from the rarity, weapons and the characters' important skills may also be introduced to players when watching the live stream, helping them to decide whether to pull on the new units or not.


The community can hardly contain the excitement for the live stream as more new characters and areas will be added to the game. More methods of farming for Primogems will also appear with many additions in the next version.
