It feels like Genshin Impact update 1.2 just released last month (because it did), but Mihoyo is already giving details on the upcoming 1.3 update. The new update will ring in the annual Lantern Rite festival, a new playable character and multiple festival activities.
To start the event, you will meet Xiao, the new playable character, for a story quest after which you can return to the decorated port to participate in the Lantern Rite festival. The festival adds a tower defense-style minigame for up to two players called Theater Mechanicus which will grant you an event-specific currency to spend in the event market.
There is also a daily photography challenge to participate in called the Five Flushes of Fortune which can grant you those ever-needed Primogems. Mihoyo says that the Lantern Rite Festival will also give you the chance to earn your choice of a four-star character from Liyue without spending your gems. If you need help choosing, check out RPS’s Genshin Impact character tier list.
New character Xiao is a gun user with the anemo element who will receive their own character event for you to try to catch when the update drops in February.
You can see the trailer above to see how Liyue Harbor was transformed for the festival, but for the full breakdown on Lantern Rite, you can check out the video schedule Mihoyo has put together. They also gave out some Primogem codes during the video and I know how important they are, so there you have it, three codes lovingly transcribed and tested by yours really:
- jsSK8n23jzR
- dU2mhjQL1ZT
- nBEm3myAL2b
They will net you a total of 300 Primogems on the redemption site and will be valid until January 22 at 8 p.m. PST, or 4 a.m. on 23 GMT. It’s only in a few hours, spirit.
Genshin Impact Update 1.3 “All That Glitters” will be released on February 3rd.
