The upcoming Genshin Impact 5.3 update is among the community’s most anticipated. This is due to the launch of the new Hero, Mavuika, the Pyro Archon. While she has been part of the game as an NPC, she is finally playable. The upcoming update is known as the Incandescent Ode of Resurrection.
Genshin Impact 5.3 Update is slated to be released worldwide on Jan. 1, 2025. Within this update, players can join Mavuika and Heroes of Natlan in the final act of the Archon Quest. In previous updates, various Natlanese heroes unite to take on these quests. Be sure to keep storage available since the game takes up a lot of storage space.
Another point to note is that a new Liyue character, Lan Yan, debuts within the game during this update. She will be released during the second half of the Genshin Impact 5.3 Update. Lan Yan is a 4-star Anemo Catalyst user. One of her unique abilities is the allow-Wisp Shield, which can convert its type of element into Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, or Electro to absorb corresponding Elemental DMG. After the conversion, she can also leap into the air and deal with the same type of Elemental DMG as her enemies. In addition, 5-star Heroes like Ganyu and Shenhe will be available in the upcoming Chronicled Wish.
Finally, during the update, the Liyue Harbor will glow with the cheer of Lantern Rite. Below is a list of all free rewards fans can obtain during this event:
- 1,600 Primogems
- Wings of Fate’s Course Intertwined Glider
- 4-star Liyue character
- New outfit for Xiangling
Players can play the new 5.3 Update on their phones and their respective PlayStation and Xbox consoles, but only time will tell if the game will also be available on Nintendo Switch.
