Rumor: Exciting Addition to Genshin Impact Game Modes

Highlights

  • A new Auto Chess mode, possibly inspired by Ningguang's game, may be on the horizon for Genshin Impact players.
  • While initial reactions to Genius Invokation TCG were mixed, ongoing updates have improved the mode and enhanced player enjoyment.
  • Speculation points to a potential debut of Liyue Millennium in Version 5.4 during the Lantern Rite, expanding the game's diverse gameplay options.

Genshin Impact seems poised to introduce a fresh Auto Chess game mode, drawing inspiration from a board game featured in Ningguang's Hangout story. Despite occasional experimental gameplay modes in Flagship Events, the addition of Genius Invokation TCG now offers players a permanent diversion from the usual daily quests, inviting them to engage in card games within the cozy confines of a tavern.

The introduction of Genius Invokation TCG in Version 3.3 initially sparked mixed reviews. Questions arose regarding its longevity and relevance, with some players dismissing it as 'useless' due to a lack of Primogem rewards and its departure from the core Genshin Impact gameplay. Yet, continuous updates from HoYoverse, introducing new cards and characters, refined the mode into a more engaging experience over time.

Anticipated 'Auto Chess' Addition to Genshin Impact

Recent hints from Little Teyvat suggest that developers are considering another novel gameplay mode for Genshin Impact. Leaks from the Genshin Impact community indicate a potential permanent game mode inspired by Auto Chess, possibly based on Ningguang's Liyue Millennium board game. Notably, the Fungus Mechanicus event in Version 3.5 bore striking resemblance to an Auto Chess board, hinting at ongoing testing by HoYoverse.

While early leaks warrant caution, the trademarking of Liyue Millennium by HoYoverse adds weight to the speculation. If predictions hold true, the mode might debut in Version 5.4 coinciding with the Lantern Rite event. The thematic alignment with Liyue and the festive spirit of Lantern Rite make this timing a plausible choice for introducing Liyue Millennium seamlessly.

Following a series of quality-of-life updates, Genshin Impact developers appear keen on expanding the game's horizons. The upcoming Version 4.7 is set to unveil the Imaginarium Theater, a brand-new Spiral Abyss mode allowing players to borrow a friend's character for unique challenges. While the Imaginarium Theater promises fresh endgame content, the potential addition of Liyue Millennium could offer a delightful contrast to the game's evolving landscape.
