Genshin Impact has also released official patch notes that highlight certain changes that will come to the game with the next update. Additionally, a few adjustments and optimizations will also be made.

The Trading Card Game feature that got introduced in Genshin Impact with the previous update has quickly gained popularity. In version 3.4, it is about to receive some nerfs as the developers have announced that a few cards will have their usage criteria changed.

The version will feature two phases, with the first featuring the new 5-star character, Alhaitham, and a rerun for Xiao, along with the new 4-star addition, Yaoyao. The second phase will feature the reruns of Hu Tao and Yelan.

The first phase of the weapon banner will have Xiao and Alhaitham's signature weapons - the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear and the new Light of Foliar Incision, respectively.

The second phase will feature the renowned Staff of Homa for Hu Tao and the bow Aqua Simulacra.

Other than the banners, players can expect a lot of exciting things in Genshin Impact 3.4 with the upcoming Lantern Rite, including a free Liyue 4-star character and the much-loved Interwined Fates.

A new area in the Sumeru desert will also be added, expanding the map of Genshin Impact. A new boss will also make its way to the game and players will be able to farm him for Alhaitham's ascension materials. Furthermore, fresh skins for Lisa and Ayaka will also be added for players to choose outfits from.

The update is available for pre-installation from the settings menu of the game.
