2.6 Genshin Impact Events Announced

During the 2.6 Genshin Impact Special Program, three special events were announced. After the update debuts, people will eventually get to take part in Outside the Canvas, Inside the Lens; Spices from the West; and Vibro-Crystal Research. While a Genshin Impact event schedule wasn’t provided, an overview was offered for each activity. These will show up in addition to a Hues of the Violet Garden Inazuma festival with four activities.

First, Outside the Canvas, Inside the Lens is a photography event. After meeting Asagiri in Inazuma, you’ll get assignments to take photos in other locations around the world. This is so she can draw art inspired by them for various authors. In each case, Asagiri will describe the sort of landscape she’d need to see, and then you’ll have to go and provide the pictures based on the hints and description. The rewards that appeared during the splash art showed Hero’s Wits, Mora, and Primogems.

Spices from the West is a cooking event that will arrive in the Genshin Impact 2.6 update. It will also involve a Sumeru NPC. People will get together ingredients for recipes, then take part in a cooking mini-game to season them. After making some food, you can head to your Serenitea Pot to share it with characters you’ve unlocked. Each one will have their own preferences, and feeding them can boost your friendship with them. Other rewards from the event include Hero’s Wits, Mora, Mystic Enhancement Ores, Primogems, and Weapon Ascension Materials.

Finally, Vibro-Crystal Research is a battling event that will take place near The Chasm. When people head to Liyue, they can set up Transmitter and Receiver Crystals. Doing so will allow for buffs and debuffs while fighting. You’ll set up two teams for this “research” for the first and second half, choosing four characters and three Vibro-Crystals. In addition to your own characters, trial characters will also be available to use. The rewards shown during the teaser image included Hero’s Wits, Mora, Mystic Enhancement Ores, Primogems, and Weapon Ascension Materials.

Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices. It will also come to the Nintendo Switch. The 2.6 update will go live on March 30, 2022.
