A recent leak fromGenshin Impactleaker Timing has revealed two new domains set to debut in Version 3.6, each appearing to be an “Adventure” domain featuring Primogem rewards. The Fragrant Inland Sea will appear in the southeast region of the new desert offering 40 Primogems, a flower fromthe “Desert Pavilion Chronicle” artifact set, and a collection of Sumeru’s Talent books. The Sin-Cleansing Spring in the northwest will feature similar rewards, swapping out the Desert Pavilion Chronicle flower with a feather from the same set.
The two new permanent domains have been joined by multiple leaks of one-time sub-areas set to appear duringGenshin Impact’s Version 3.6. New five-star character Baizhu will be receiving a Story Quest during the update, featuring a brand-new domain much likeGenshin Impact’s past Story Quests. Recent leaks have also shownanother mysterious location with a cosmic setting, leading many to believe the area may be connected to Sumeru’s Irminsul.Genshin Impact’s Version 3.6 is currently expected to launch in mid-April.
WhileGenshin Impacthas often created stunning new locations for its many story-based domains, the limited use of these domains has often seen negative fan feedback. Fans have been critical ofGenshin Impactfor its limited-time events, with both story elements and new areas inaccessible after the event’s conclusion. Some events like Version 1.1’s “Unreconciled Stars” have even featured major new story additions and character introductions.Genshin Impact’s newest domains will add more unique locations for players to explore when they launch in Version 3.6.
Genshin Impactis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
