HoYoverse has announced that Genshin Impact version 4.3, “Roses and Muskets” will go live on December 20.

The game’s latest update will celebrate the Fontinalia Festival, one of the most important traditions in Fontaine. There will also be two new playable characters and a series of updates and optimizations to the gameplay.

Unique film festival

This year’s Fontinalia Festival will feature a unique film festival that will honor the tradition of commemorating the legendary Lochknights.

There will also be a series of mini-games, such as designing a short film (“Into the Frame”) and a shooting training in a marksmanship-themed gameplay mode.

Various rewards are at stake for players during this time, including the 4-star claymore “Ultimate Overlord’s Mega Magic Sword.”

Team up with Navia, Chevreuse

In Version 4.3, two firearm enthusiasts – Navia and Chevreuse – will join as playable characters. Navia will debut in the Event Wishes of Version 4.3 while Chevreuse will arrive in the second half along with the reruns of Raiden Shogun and Yoimiya.

Navia, the president of Spina di Rosula, is a 5-star Geo claymore wielder who can fire “Rosula Shardshots” from her gunbrella. Her Elemental Burst also deals AOE Geo damage by bombarding enemies.

On the other hand, Chevreuss is a new 4-star Pyro polearm wielder and captain of the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol. She can fire bullets with her musket that deal AOE Pyro damage and can heal an active character with her Elemental Skill.

More updates

In addition, permanent gameplay modes and limited-time events will be updated with new features and rewards.

Genius Invokation TCG, for instance, will receive a major update with more cards, NPCs that can be challenged, and a limited time Heated Battle Mode.

Itto’s Beetle Battle event and Liben’s daily requests will likewise return with new features and abundant rewards.

December online concert

Meanwhile, Genshin Impact’s free online concert is returning for 2023. “Melodies of an Endless Journey” will broadcast on YouTube, TikTok, and X (Twitter) on December 22 at 7 PM (UTC+8).

This year’s online concert will feature the London Philharmonic Orchestra and other international musicians with innovative XR, AR, and animation technology to bring some of the game’s moments, highlights, and cutscenes to life.

Horizon Steel Frontiers is an MMO set in the Horizon universe

The game is built for mobile but will have cross-play gameplay with PC.

A few months ago, Sony sued Tencent for copying design elements from the Horizon series for the latter’s upcoming game, Light of Motiram. Though the game has been relatively silent since the kerfuffle, was Tencent on to something? Today, Sony and a Korean studio named NCSoft have officially announced Horizon Steel Frontiers, an MMO set in the Horizon universe.

It’s not just a simple announcement either. The title now has an official 10-minute video to preview the upcoming title. Right now, the trailer has nothing but cinematics, pre-alpha footage, and developer interviews. However, it’s a clear commitment to bringing the MMO to life.

Both the cinematics and the pre-alpha footage show off the familiar mechanical beasts of the series. The main goal of the title is to team up with other players and take down colossal beasts.

The game is set in the Deathlands, a new region inspired by Arizona and New Mexico. Players will have the entire state to play with. And, instead of Aloy, they can create their own personalized characters.

Horizon Steel Frontiers is built for smartphones. However, Sony and NCSoft are working towards cross-platform gameplay for the PC.

Right now, especially since the released footage is from pre-alpha development, we don’t know when the MMO will launch. However, it does look extremely exciting for fans of the original duology.
