After a week-long delay of its Genshin Impact livestream, HoYoverse is back with some news about the upcoming update for the action-adventure RPG.

Genshin Impact 4.2 update “Masquerade of the Guilty” will be out on 8 November, which is next week. The update will feature two new playable characters for gachaing: five-star Hydro sword user Furina (the Hydro Archon) and four-star Cryo catalyst wielder Charlotte (ace reporter).

Here’s more info on the update concerning new areas and modes:

“In addition, Fontaine’s map extends eastward to Erinnyes Forest and Morte Region. The World Quest “The Narzissenkreuz Adventure” will continue in the Tower of Ipsissimus where the mysteries of the Primordial Sea will be unveiled.

In Erinnyes Forest, the land and water are polluted by mysterious contaminated bacterial mats that players can cleanse with the help of the Xenochromatic Ball Octopus. Freminet and a clockwork penguin named Thelxie will also go on an adventure with the Traveler to Erinnyes Island to investigate the rumors of Water Imps.

More events will be arriving with special mini-games and exclusive bonuses. Thelxie, the clockwork penguin, will require upgrades which will be made possible by connecting circuits, collecting colorful shells or corals, or through combat.

A new Fungi event will also offer players an opportunity to train them and command them to take down powerful enemies. Last but not least, Fontaine will host its very own photography event which will offer a special Kamera gadget, the Special Analysis Zoom Lens.”
