What’s new in Genshin Impact 4.6?
The crown jewel of this event is the launch of Arlecchino, a Pyro user who wields a polearm that basically has a scythe-like aesthetic. We also return to Sumeru for a story revolving around Cyno and another new character. There is a conflict going on with Freminet, Lyney and Lynette, but we’ll have to play the patch to see what kind of battle Arlecchino puts these siblings through.
On the other hand, the flagship event for this patch seems to revolve around Arataki Itto, with many mini-games. The rhythm game returns with a horn as an instrument, and you can earn a free copy of the four-star character Gorou for completing the event. There will also be several other events happening during the patch, such as Windtrace (the hide and seek game).
