The Version 4.7 update for Genshin Impact (An Everlasting Dream Intertwined) is dropping on June 5, 2024. The latest update features three new playable characters and a new challenge domain. Furthermore, more to Khaenri’ah will be uncovered as the twin Travelers and Dainsleif meet once again.

New challenge domain

Starting July 1st, a fresh monthly-reset challenge domain called “Imaginarium Theater” will emerge in a hidden chamber within Mondstadt Library. Meanwhile, the Spiral Abyss will shift to a monthly update cycle on the 16th of each month.

Imaginarium Theater offers combat challenges of multiple difficulty levels. Yet, it only allows characters of designated elements (and a few exceptions) to participate. Moreover, there is also a limit on the number of times they can fight.

During the challenge, players will receive plenty of buffs and debuffs. They will be able to gradually assemble and adjust team builds from the characters they own, the initial lineup of designated characters preset by the domain, and friends’ Supporting Cast characters.

The Imaginarium Theater will reward its champions with up to 620 Primogems a month. There will also be a series of new photo poses and new bonuses for first-time completion, as well as Fantastical Blessings. The total amount of Primogem rewards from Spiral Abyss Floors 9 to 12, meanwhile, will be increased to 800.

Three more characters

Version 4.7 also sees the debut of three more playable characters: Clorinde, Sigewinne, and Sethos. The first two are Fontanians who can utilize the Bond of Life mechanic in different ways.

Clorinde is a five-star Electro sword wielder. When in a “Night Vigil” state, she can alternate between different attack styles. She can use piercing pistolet attacks to accumulate Bond of Life. She may also use a powerful lunging sword attack to clear her Bond of Life and restore HP. Healing effects she receives under the Night Vigil state will be added to her Bond of Life as well.

On the other hand, Sigewinne is another five-star who is the head nurse of the Fortress of Meropide. She uses the Bond of Life to help teammates. Her healing will be increased based on the total Bond of Life values across all the characters in her party. In combat, she can fire a giant bouncing bubble to trap and attack nearby enemies. This bubble can also heal and buff her team.

Lastly, Sethos is a four-star archer who can fire piercing Electro arrows in combat. Particularly, his Charge Level 2 attack fires a formidable piercing shot. Moreover, he can initiate a ritual with his Elemental Skill, consuming Elemental Energy to shorten the charging time then restoring it whenever his attacks trigger any type of Electro-related Elemental Reaction. Lastly, his Elemental Burst can also fire consecutive bolts.

New mini-game

Also, there is a new tower defense mini-game called “Mutual Security Enhancing Simulation.” This allows players to deploy their own monster troops in offensive or defensive games.

Higher resin

Lastly, the Original Resin cap will be increased from 160 to 200. This will give players an enhanced daily gaming experience, where they will be able to get more resources to claim rewards and upgrade accordingly.

Natlan preview

In addition to Genshin Impact Version 4.7, HoYoverse also dropped a one-minute teaser of Natlan. This all-new nation will arrive on the action RPG later this year.

For now, here’s the trailer for Genshin Impact’s latest update:

Bandai Namco Entertainment has announced that Tales of Berseria Remastered is out now. It’s available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

The remaster brings back the 2016 action RPG with visual and quality-of-life upgrades tailored for current-generation platforms. A new launch trailer accompanies the release. It offers a fresh look at Velvet’s journey, her party members, and her fateful clash with Altorius.

In celebration of the launch, fans in Southeast Asia can join an exclusive giveaway for a chance to win signed memorabilia from their favorite cast member. Details are available via Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia’s official Facebook and Instagram pages. A special video featuring the voice cast has also been released as part of the festivities.

A revenge story returns

Originally released in 2016, Tales of Berseria stood out as the first entry in the long-running franchise to feature a solo female protagonist. Players step into the role of Velvet. Her once gentle nature gives way to a burning desire for revenge after the death of her younger brother.

The remastered edition preserves the emotional weight of that story while refining the experience for modern hardware. Players can now toggle enemy encounters in fields and dungeons and view clearer destination icons for smoother navigation. The familiar Grade Shop is also unlocked from the start, allowing for a more flexible playthrough.

More than 70 pieces of DLC from the original release are included, ranging from character outfits inspired by previous Tales titles to helpful equipment for early adventures.

Game editions and bonuses

Tales of Berseria Remastered is available in both physical and digital formats. The Digital Deluxe Edition includes the base game, a Battle BGM pack, a digital artbook and soundtrack, and a Super Growth Support Herb Set.

Early purchasers and pre-order customers receive the Super Adventuring Assistance Set, which includes Apple Gel x10, Grape Gel x10, Life Bottle x10, and Panacea Bottle x10.

Physical copies also feature a reversible inlay with two different cover designs.

Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves will launch in 2027

The region is based on Southeast Asia.

Published

The tenth generation of Pokémon is here! Kicking off the franchise’s celebration for thirty successful years, The Pokémon Company announced the next mainline games: Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves.

The announcement trailer started with a nostalgic reminiscing of a Pikachu across all the different generations over the years. A sudden knock on the door breaks the protagonist’s reminiscing. At the door are two Pikachu dressed in vacation clothes, standing outside a beach house on stilts.

Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves isn’t just another trip to another roaring urban-to-rural region. Rather, the generation’s yet-unnamed region wants you to take a vacation in a place inspired by Southeast Asia.

Because of its tropical locale, a lot of the Pokémon featured are more nature- and animal-based. You won’t see a lot of the newer creatures inspired by objects here.

The region will also have a variety of biomes including a forest, a beach, and even an underground volcanic section. And, making a comeback for the first time in years, there will seemingly be an underwater biome filled with aquatic Pokémon.

Highlighting the new generation are three new starter Pokémon: Browt, the Grass-type bird Pokémon; Pombon, the Fire-type dog Pokémon; and Gecqua, the Water-type gecko Pokémon.
