Never one to lag behind HSR and ZZZ, Genshin Impact will introduce its own new pink-haired animal-themed girl in Version Luna 6

Genshin Impact following HSR and ZZZ with a new feature or system is HoYoverse doing what it does best: observing what works across its portfolio and deploying it to its largest player base. Genshin has always been the most cautious of the three games about introducing new mechanics, which means when something new does arrive, it has usually been tested and refined elsewhere first. The practical implication for Genshin players is that whatever arrives in this update benefits from lessons learned from ZZZ and Star Rail's implementations. Rough edges tend to get smoothed out before they reach Genshin's hundred-million-player audience. For returning players who drifted to HSR or ZZZ, this kind of feature parity is a reason to check back in. Genshin's open world and character roster remain unmatched in the HoYoverse lineup, and feature updates that bring it closer in line with its sister games only strengthen the case for re-engagement.
