Genshin Impact will release version 5.1 soon, expanding on the Natlan storyline

Head back to Sumeru for another festival too

Genshin Impact will release version 5.1 soon, expanding on the Natlan storyline
  • Version 5.1 is titled The Rainbow Destined to Burn
  • New questline will carry forward the story that began in Natlan
  • Xilonen will join as the new playable character

Genshin Impact’s v5.0 update brought about major changes as it introduced Natlan, the sixth nation of Teyvat to the wildly popular JRPG. The story continues as you explore this new region with version 5.1, titled The Rainbow Destined to Burn. You will be accompanied by Xilonen on your journey forward. You can also head back to Sumeru to celebrate the Sabzeruz Festival and enjoy some goodies.

You must have learnt form last update’s Archon Quest that Natlan is in immense danger because of the Abyss. You will have to join forces with other powerful individuals such as the forge master Xilonen and a member of the Masters of the Night-Wand, Citali. Work together and defeat Ororon to save Natlan and be rewarded with up to 900 Primogems.

Xilonen is a welcome addition to Genshin Impact, and she will join the title as a Geo Sword wilder. Her ability allows her to record Geo Source Samples, which deal massive damage to enemies. She can also trigger Nightsoul Transmissions, helping her allies gain some Phlogiston. Xilonen and Chiori will be part of the first set of event wishes, followed by Nahida and Hu Tao.

While unfortunate circumstances loom over Natlan, a celebration will take place in Sumeru. The time has come to honour the birth of Lesser Lord Kusanali as the Sabzeruz festival returns. Reunite with your buddies as escort to Nahida’s carriage as the Knight of Flowers to celebrate her birthday. In addition, you can participate in a variety of minigames to earn Festive Fervour, which can be exchanged for rewards.

Version 5.1 is set to bring a slew of new content to Genshin Impact. Both combat and celebration await you as the update releases on October 9th. Prepare for it by downloading Genshin Impact now for free by clicking on your preferred link below. Visit the official website for more information.
