Once again, the Genshin Impact will hold its Special Program for the release of Version 4.2. In these presentations, HoYoverse usually announces the events of the next patch. Also, in the presentation, the hosts reveal the premise of the Archon Quest and the announcement of the available banners for each update. In the latter, they explain the 5 and 4-star characters in the gacha, how each character’s kit works, and new challenges added to the game. As with every version, hype is built around the new characters introduced to the roster of playable characters, as well as their best equipment and their builds.
Genshin Impact 4.2 Special Program Scheduled for October 27
On Friday, October 27, Genshin Impact will announce all the new features and events in its Special Program Version 4.2. So far, the information available comes from leaks and HoYoverse drip marketing, but it is still speculation. The community believes that the 4.2 update will see the arrival of the Hydro Archon, Focalors, as a 5-star character. Also, Charlotte, the reporter of the Steambird newspaper, could be the new 4-star character. Both might appear during Phase 1 of the promotional banners.
As for Phase 2 of the 4.2 Version of Genshin Impact, there still needs to be more information, and the surprise will lie with the Special Program. The 5-star character that could arrive after Furina could be Cloud Retainer or Arlecchino. But the fans think it will be the master of Shenhe who could appear because other leaks point out that the map will expand for the Liyue region. Meanwhile, players must wait for HoYoverse to announce or deny this hypothesis.
All this information will be known to the fans of the game gacha during this Special Program on October 27. You can watch it live on the YouTube Channel or its official Genshin Impact Twitch account.
