Genshin Impact 5.4 Launches Next Month: New Five-Star Character and Events

If you've been eagerly awaiting more adventures in Genshin Impact, you're in luck! The highly anticipated Version 5.4 update is set to launch on February 12th, bringing with it a host of exciting new content and a fresh character to explore. Get ready to immerse yourself in the vibrant world of MiHoYo's flagship game once again!

One of the highlights of this update is the Mikawa Flower Festival, a celebration that promises fun for both humans and youkai. The festival features the Raiden Shogun investigating a mysterious nightmare, but you might find yourself too captivated by the new minigames to notice. Dive into games like "A Little Fox's Daydream" and "Bunshin Phantasm," where you can earn Festival Stamps. These stamps can be exchanged for exclusive rewards, including the four-star polearm, Tamayuratei no Ohanashi.

But the festival isn't the only draw of Version 5.4. You'll also have the opportunity to recruit a new five-star character, Yumemizuki Mizuki. As an Anemo Catalyst user and a clinical psychologist, as well as a major shareholder of the Aisa Bathhouse, Mizuki brings a unique set of skills that will enhance your team's capabilities.

Festival time!Mizuki will make her debut in the first half of the 5.4 Event Wishes, alongside a rerun for Sigewinne. The second half will feature reruns for Furina and Wriothesley. If you miss out on Mizuki during the event, don't worry—she'll join the Standard Wish Banner after the Version 5.5 update.

In addition to the new character and festival, Version 5.4 introduces the "Travelers' Tales: Anthology Chapter," offering slice-of-life stories featuring your favorite characters. You can also enjoy the new "Reel AD-Venture" fishing minigame and take advantage of the new Level-Up Plans, which help you quickly identify the materials and sources needed for character progression.
