All Genshin Impact 1.2 New Events Explained | Screen Rant
The long-awaited 1.2 update for Genshin Impact is nearly here, and it's coming with a lot of new story content, a new region to explore, and new playable characters. Genshin Impact's 1.2 update is also coming with at least four new events, and a revamp to one event that's already been in the game before. For anyone looking forward to the update, here's everything to know about the new events coming to Genshin Impact.
When Genshin Impact's 1.2 update arrives, players will have a lot of new options and things to do. This includes new events that offer a variety of activities to perform in-game. The main event is The Chalk Prince and the Dragon, which carries the same name as the patch itself. This event will get players the cursed Festering Desire sword, a 4-star weapon that's important to the new story content.
Albedo, a new playable character coming with Genshin Impact's 1.2 update, will play an important role in The Chalk Prince and the Dragon event, as well as the overall story. Lost Riches is a new treasure-hunting event in Genshin Impact, which involves special treasure-seeking Seelie. This Seelie can even be obtained as a new reward, perhaps replacing the Traveler's annoying sidekick Paimon (although, probably not).
The Marvelous Merchandise event is returning to Genshin Impact, although slightly revamped and with new items. This event will once again involve collecting certain materials and exchanging them with the mysterious merchant in Mondstadt. Another new Genshin Impact event coming in the 1.2 update is The Hypostatic Symphony, which is a new timed trial event that has players fighting against Level 60 Hypostasis bosses: Electro, Geo, and Hydro.
The new Dragonspine region in Genshin Impact also brings some new events, including the Frostbearing Tree event. This event involves gathering items and offering them to the tree for rewards. Although a lot isn't known about the Frostbearing Tree event yet, it does involve the seal around Dragonspine being lifted and causing the tree to awaken. Players must look for the Frostbearing Tree's crimson sprouts in the overworld as part of the event. Check out the recent developer stream which detailed these events below:
For now, these are the confirmed new events coming to Genshin Impact's 1.2 update. More events may release over time, since the 1.2 update's story content will be spread out over four separate patches. It's also unclear if all these events will be available as soon as the update releases, or if they will come to Genshin Impact over the course of the 1.2 content. However, it's clear fans of Genshin Impact will have a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks and months.
