The Genshin Impact 3.6 livestream took place on the official Twitch channel on March 31, 2023, at 8AM (UTC-4). This special program featured details about new game content and developments in Version 3.6.

Several Genshin Impact codes were also featured throughout the presentations, which can be redeemed for free Primogems and other in-game items. The livestream was also uploaded to the Genshin Impact YouTube channel.

Genshin Impact 3.6 banners

The 3.6 Phase 1 banner which launched on April 12, 2023, features the highly anticipated reruns of Nahida and Nilou. This is great news for any players who missed out on their initial runs. Both 5-star characters will be joined by the following 4-stars:

• Kuki Shinobu (Electro) 
• Dori (Electro)
• Layla (Cyro)

The biggest draw to the latest Genshin Impact update however, is that the 3.6 banners will see the release of Baizhu and Kaveh – two new Dendro users who will make their debuts in Phase 2 of the update, which is set to launch on May 2, 2023.

Make sure you get saving those Primogems if you wish to add these characters to your team.

Genshin Impact 3.6 events

Aside from a new story quest being added in 3.6, the main event is the Akademiya Extravaganza — an event that features six playable minigames. It’s here where Travelers will need to replicate specific astral patterns, construct roads, find hidden relic replicas, use various potions in a combat test, and more.

The next event also requires Travelers to wipe out enemies in Sumeru’s desert to protect the Wenut Cannon, a destructive weapon that needs time to charge between attacks. Different Team combinations will be required here, so be sure to flex your best Genshin Impact team comps. 

As always, there are plenty of free Primogems, Mystic Enhancement Ore, and Mora on offer. So, be sure to take part in the above events to claim all the in-game goodies. A free Faruzan will also be given out to those that take part in the Parade of Providence event.

Genshin Impact 3.6 locations

A new area consisting of wastelands and an oasis has been revealed deep within the desert. This area has been damaged by Gray Crystals and corruptive Purple Mists. According to the legends, this place was one of the main battlefields during the Khaenri’ah cataclysm five hundred years ago.

Travelers will need their wits about them if they wish to survive the harsh environments and new enemies that await them. Fortunately, players will be accompanied on their visit by “Pari,” creatures that can fly.

3.6 enemies

Just like every new major Genshin Impact update, HoYoverse have added new enemies and variants that Travelers will need to eliminate. The 3.6 update includes the following enemies: 

• Dragon of Verdure
• Anemo Hilichurl Rogue
• Hydro Hilichurl Rogue
• Iniquitous Baptiste

New Genshin Impact 3.6 gadget

The 3.6 update will see the release of a new gadget called, Sorush. As shown from the screenshot above, Sorush looks like a Seele and can be used as a drone. This enables Travelers to scout out locations, pick up overworld items, attack enemies, and reach inaccessible areas that would be impossible to reach on foot.

New Tighnari voice actor

A brand new English voice actor for the Dendro character Tighnari has been anticipated since original voice actor, Elliot Gindi was dropped from the game after being accused of sexual misconduct by a number of fans. Following the scandal, HoYoverse confirmed that the voice actor would be completely replaced in the future.

On April 11, 2023, Zachary Gordon was officially confirmed as the new voice actor for Tighnari.

The actor, who is best known for starring in the live-action Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies, made his debut as Tighnari alongside the launch of 3.6 update where his lines were patched into the game.
