Genshin Impact has officially confirmed that the special program for Version 5.6 will go live on April 25. Several recent Genshin Impact leaks have hinted that the game's next update will feature major lore content about Mondstadt and Nod-Krai, and HoYoverse's latest announcement seems to confirm the rumors.
After the conclusion of the Natlan Archon Quest, Genshin Impact's past few updates have focused primarily on flagship events and the addition of new characters like Yumemizuki Mizuki and Varesa. HoYoverse recently revealed that Genshin Impact Version 5.6 will add two new units to the roster: the Fontainian Escoffier and the Natlanese Ifa. However, fans have been wondering when the RPG will introduce more details about its next major area, Nod-Krai. It seems their questions might soon be answered, as the development team has set a date for a special livestream dedicated to Genshin Impact's 5.6 update.
Genshin Impact: Version 6.0's Rumored Nod-Krai Region May Be the Perfect Way to Handle Snezhnaya
Genshin Impact leaks claim that the Snezhnaya region won’t arrive until the version 7.0 updates, which might ultimately be for the best.
Genshin Impact will hold a livestream focused on Version 5.6 on April 25 at 8:00 AM (UTC-4). The program's official art reveals that Version 5.6 will be titled "Paralogism," and seemingly confirms that players will return to Mondtstadt for a new adventure. The image shows Venti, Albedo, Jean, and Kaeya, teasing that all these beloved characters will make an appearance. Earlier leaks suggested that the 5.6 update would set the foundations for Nod-Krai in Genshin Impact, with the Knights of Favonius playing a crucial role. It is also worth noting that other reports suggested that Durin would make their playable debut in later patches, and since Albedo's background is directly connected to the dragon, their lore will likely be addressed in Version 5.6.
Genshin Impact Confirms Version 5.6 Special Livestream for April 25
As with past livestreams, players can watch the program on Genshin Impact's official YouTube and Twitch channels and expect limited redeem codes for Primogems and other in-game goods. Players can also look forward to a detailed showcase of Escoffier and Ifa's combat abilities. In addition, there are rumors that Genshin Impact is adding a new Weekly Boss, potentially related to Mondstadt. A series of quality-of-life upgrades and limited events are also expected to be announced.
An important chapter is about to begin for Genshin Impact. Among players, Mondstadt is one of the most popular regions available in the game, not only because of nostalgia but also because of its lore potential. Players are also awaiting news about Skirk and Dahlia's releases in Genshin Impact, which the developer confirmed for later this year. Considering that Dahlia is an important figure in Mondstadt, the character's in-game debut could be sooner rather than later.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
