About Genshin Impact A few interesting plums suddenly appeared again. One of them hints that it may be related to Honkai Impact: Star Trailthe second revealed new details about the character selector, and apparently, it might not be the only one.
Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail may collaborate
Insider JWUMabR reported on a possible collaboration between Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail via HXG. This information is currently labeled SUS, which means it should be treated with extreme caution. However, sources don’t know if this will be an official joint event between the two games or if we’re just talking about a one-sided collaboration.
Industry insider Seele believes that cooperation between “Genshin Impact” and “Honkai: Star Trail” is unlikely, but he also admitted that “Genshin Impact” may cooperate with other game series.
So right now we’re talking more about possible hints than a confirmed crossover. especially between games hojofors This collaboration has never happened before, although HSR and ZZZ are planned for the winter.
New character selector
More information has emerged regarding the new character select banner, which has previously appeared in leaks. Let us remind you that according to previous leaks, a special selector may appear in Genshin Impact that will allow you to select a character from a specific list. Now Sakiko claims that there should be two such selectors: one standard and one new.
Judging from available data, the new selector may include 6 or 8 characters. Slightly more than half of the detected markers point to a version with six heroes, but some data points to eight heroes. Therefore, the final number remains unknown.
Sakiko noted that as of version 7.1, the last available quest to complete the Archon quest chain in Snezhnaya has not yet been removed from the requirements for opening the new selector. Furthermore, a separate BtnGotoQuest button was found in the model, which may also indicate that the requirement was added intentionally rather than accidentally.
If the information of the current version is indeed in line with the developers’ final ideas, it will not be possible to open the new selector without completing all the tasks of Archons of Sneznaya in 7.1. However, that could still change; according to insiders, it’s likely that the situation will disappear before the broadcast, or be explained separately during the broadcast.
Kuro provides more information on the mechanics. An image of the new anniversary event label shows it existing separately from the standard selector.
This lines up well with previous data on both options, and again suggests we’re not talking about the same functionality in different designs. In the meantime, the final rules for banner operations, the list of available characters, and the requirements for turning on banners may be temporarily changed.
Much of this data cannot be called final yet; you should pay special attention to information about a possible collaboration between Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact: Star Trails. You can expect more official information about the developer livestream, which will take place around September 11.
