After a few stale weeks in Genshin Impact, version 4.5 is nigh, with its Special Program coming soon. If you’re a newcomer to the party, these showcases give us glimpses of the new features and characters of the next update. While HoYoverse fans might be stuck in Honkai Star Rail‘s Penacony, 4.5 is a perfect excuse to visit a familiar location in the company’s legendary gacha game. So, grab your favorite husbandos and waifus, prepare your Primogems, and set your alarm because our next destination is the land enveloped in lightning: Inazuma.
Genshin Impact 4.5 Special Program Will Be on March 1st
For starters, we already know what to expect in the 4.5 Special Program of Genshin Impact: new characters, events, and rewards. However, this time, there are rumors regarding the debut of Chiori as a playable character. This is due to Chiori appearing during the 4.3 event, which you might all remember in its cinematic glory. In addition, the rumored re-runs of Kazuha and Neuvillette are the talk of many. Thankfully, we won’t have to wait long to see if these rumors are true. You can watch the Genshin Impact 4.5 Special Program on March 1st at 07:00 AM (UTC-5). The broadcast will be on the game’s official YouTube and Twitch channels.
Furthermore, another big rumor fans want to confirm in this Special Program is the possibility that the game will feature a third banner dubbed “Nation Banner.” According to leaks, Albedo and other party members from Mondstadt could appear in this banner. Having this feature could avoid waiting so many weeks for a specific character, as was the case with Eula, who took 42 weeks to return. However, this is only speculation. Still, having a way to get characters from a specific nation would be fantastic.
Hopefully, this Special Program will clarify many of the doubts that have arisen after the wave leaks that Genshin Impact had. If not, we’re sure the company will do right by its player base and surprise us with something fun. If not, we can always wait for the next version to bring something better.
