Summary
Genshin Impacthas announced the date and time for its next Special Program livestream, which will highlight most of the content coming in Version 5.2. The Special Program livestreams play a pivotal role in theGenshin Impactcommunity, as not only are they an official look into an upcoming update, but they also confirm the featured characters for the Event Banners of that patch. Most importantly, they offer Primogem codes that players can redeem on theirGenshin Impactaccount, allowing them to stock up on a few extra pulls for very little effort.
Thebanner characters forGenshin ImpactVersion 5.2are assumed to be Chasca and Lyney in the first half, with Neuvillette and Zhongli headlining the second half of the update. In addition to Chasca, Ororon is expected to make his playable debut as a 4-Star Electro Bow character. Despite the recent string of nerfs, fans are excited about Ororon inGenshin Impactand the potential he can bring to Neuvillette or Tartaglia teams.
The Special Program livestream forGenshin ImpactVersion 5.2 is scheduled for June 07, 2025, at 7:00 AM (UTC-5). It will offer a preview of Version 5.2, which is set to introduce two new characters and aNatlan map expansion toGenshin Impact. The new zone will take players to the ruins of Ochkanatlan, as well as the regions inhabited by the Flowerfeather Clan and the Masters of the Night-Wind. While there is a slim chance thatGenshin Impactwill continue the Archon Quest in Version 5.2, the finale to Natlan’s story is being reserved for Version 5.3.
Genshin Impact Announces Special Program Livestream for Version 5.2
The livestream will be held on both Twitch and YouTube, with the English version once again hosted by Kai and Gabe from theGenshin Impactlocalization team. Much like Version 5.1, the Flagship Event forGenshin ImpactVersion 5.2 will largely be unvoiced, as a result of the SAG-AFTRA strike. Standard gameplay should remain unaffected, with the expectation that Version 5.2 will come with a slew ofquality-of-life improvements forGenshin Impact.
While Version 5.2 has plenty to offer, the update is arguably overshadowed by what’s to come in Version 5.3, which is set to feature Mavuika, Citlali, the Lantern Rite, and a conclusion to Natlan’s Archon Quests. Though Xilonen has done a formidable job of parting players from their Primogems, most have been saving their Intertwined Wishes for the Pyro Archon. Chasca and Ororon are expected to draw some interest from fans, especially those who enjoyBow characters inGenshin Impact, but the community’s eyes seem firmly set on Mavuika in Version 5.3.
