Genshin Impact 4.3

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.

Assassin's Creed Mirage

Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be launching on June 6, 2024, on the App Store for iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPad Air and iPad Pro with M1 chip or later.

The game first launched on last generation and current generation consoles as well as PC back in October 2023. It will be the first console title of the series for players to enjoy natively on mobile devices.

Players can experience the complete narrative-driven action adventure of Assassin’s Creed Mirage on mobile. In this game, they will be exploring 9th century Baghdad as Basim, a young thief who transforms into a Master Assassin.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be free to download and play for 90 minutes. The full version supports Universal Purchase and can be unlocked with a single in-app purchase, so players can enjoy the game on both iPhone and iPad. Pre-orders are now available here.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage

Assassin’s Creed Mirage spins a tale centered around an already established character, rather than a blank slate like Valhalla’s Eivor. It follows Basim Ibn Ishaq, a character introduced in Valhalla. Taking place before the events of the previous game, Mirage has the assassin root out the Order in 9th-century Baghdad, a setting familiar to those who played the original title in 2007.
