Genshin Impact's Next Character Is Hu Tao, Coming This Week
/
Genshin Impact developer MiKoYo have announced that Hu Tao will be the next playable character joining the game’s ever-growing roster. The community was aware of the character’s existence due to several leaks, rumors, and dataminers finding details in the 1.3 update and has finally confirmed her existence this week.
This marks as the final character banner releasing during the game’s 1.3 update. Hu Tao, who apparently is a director of the Wasngsheng Funeral Parlor, is a 5-star pyro polearm user, and her character banner will be accompanied by 4-star characters Xingiu, Xiangling, and Chongyun.
Once the banner goes live, it also comes with a new “Trial Run” event, which allows players who doesn’t have any of the featured characters to try them out.
New 1.3 events teased by developer
Hu Tao is coming next week and MiHoYo also teased on upcoming in-game events to go alongside the new banner release.
First off, to know more about Hu Tao, players can participate in her story quest called “Papilio Charontis”. We then get an expedition event called Vishaps and Where to Find them”, which gives players a chance to earn precious Primogems and other rewards.
Lastly, Genshin Impact players can continue to take a shot at the “Epitome Invocation” weapon banner as it’s been extended for what the developers call the Phase 2 of events for patch 1.3.
Expect the Hu Tao banner and all the new events mentioned to go live on March 2, 2021 6 PM server time and will run until March 16.
Metaphor: ReFantazio is now my favorite title from the Persona team by far. It’s one of those rare games where its main pillars work harmoniously, and you get lost in its charm. It’s a pristine JRPG, with enough style and substance to satisfy hardcore JRPG fans, Persona fans, and even those who rarely touch JRPGs.
