HoYoVerse announced the Genshin Impact Special Program for update 4.4 will appear on January 19, 2024. It will be held at 4am PT/7am ET/1pm CET.
As usual, the Special Program will first air on Twitch. The upload will show up on YouTube about an hour later. It will include redemption codes for Primogems and other in-game items, as usual.
While much of the story has focused on Fontaine in-game as of late, we’ll see a return to Liyue in 4.4. Ahead of the update’s launch, HoYoVerse revealed two of the new characters. One is Cloud Retainer’s human form, which is known as Xianyun. The other is a character named Gaming. Xianyun is expected to be a five-star, while it seems Gaming may be the new four-star.
As a reminder, the 4.3 update also introduced two new units. One is Navia, who is a Geo five-star that wields a claymore. The other was the four-star Pyro character Chevreuse, who wields a polearm. It also added some new events, including one that involved an appearance by Ayaka.
Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the Special Program for 4.4 airs at 4am PT/7am ET/1pm CET on January 19, 2024.
