Genshin Impact officials continue to stretch Sumeru's desert, this time with the announcement of a new area named Desert of Hadramaveth. Players will have the opportunity to explore yet another unknown region and go against a boss named Setekh Wenut.

Based on recent leaks, the new boss will drop ascension materials used by Alhaitham. However, players will have to spend a lot of time and resin on Setekh Wenut.

Lantern Rite

The recurring flagship event Lantern Rite will return in the upcoming version update. As part of the new patch 3.4, the event will be called "The Exquisite Night Chimes."

Those who will be participating in the Lantern Rite for the first time are in for a great time. Genshin Impact players will be returning to Liyue Harbor to participate in all sorts of new events and grab tons of rewards like Primogems, Mora, Hero's Wit, and more.

During every Lantern Rite, players can also get their hands on a free 4-star character from Liyue. In the upcoming patch 3.4, the new 4-star Yaoyao will become a part of this list.

New events

After Lantern Rite, players will still have several events to experience in the land of Inazuma. The livestream announced two new events, as shown in the tweet above. A sneak peek during the Special Program confirmed that both of them will be combat-oriented.

There is no doubt that participating in so many events will certainly help players gather tons of Primogems for their summons.

Lastly, HoYoverse officials have revealed new skins for Lisa (4-star Electro) and Ayaka (5-star Cryo).

Players can obtain Lisa's skin for free as a reward by participating in the event "Second Blooming." But, they will have to spend Genesis Crystals to obtain the new Ayaka skin in Genshin Impact.
