What to expect in the Genshin Impact 3.5 Special Program

During the Special Program, Genshin Impact will showcase two brand new playable characters, rerun banners, events, and other important information regarding the v3.5 update.

HoYoverse officially announced Dehya and Mika as their two newest units for the next patch update, and at the live event, they will announce three other 5-star characters that will receive reruns. Although there have been many leaks concerning the banners for the upcoming update, nothing has been confirmed by the developers yet.

If recent leaks are to be trusted, Cyno may get his first rerun and feature alongside Dehya in the first phase. Meanwhile, Eula and Albedo might also return with another banner in the second phase. Interestingly, the former's previous rerun was also a shared banner with the latter. At the same time, Mika is speculated to appear in the latter half of the upcoming update.

Three unique redeem codes

During the Special Program livestream, the developers will also share three redemption codes with the fans which can be exchanged for the following rewards:

Generally, these codes expire after 16 hours, so it's advised that players redeem them as soon as possible. The rewards will be sent directly to the player's account within 15 minutes of redeeming them via in-game mail.

Windblume rerun in v3.5

Based on a leak provided by Genshin_Intel, the Windblume event will be returning with its second edition along with some other minor events. Considering that the v3.5 update is officially named Windblume's Breath, these leaks are most likely accurate.

The Special Program usually starts with a short promotional video of the upcoming update, so fans can expect a sneak peek of all the upcoming events.
