Genshin Impact Upcoming Update Version 3.0 Info:

See with thine eyes the luxuriant verdure embowering the mountains,
Savor with thine nose the fragrant roses overlaying the meadows.
Hear the larking of flamboyant birds at daybreak,
Hear them unveil wisdom silenced for centuries.

  • Playable Dendro mechanics with brand-new elemental reactions

More info regarding the update straight from the press release:

Dendro characters will also be added to the roster of playable ones. Asthe Traveler, players can unlock the power of Dendro at the Statue of The Seven in Sumeru, and have a chance to recruit two Dendro archers. The five-star character Tighnari is a warm-hearted young researcher and Forest Watcher. Both his Charged Attack and Elemental Burst can deal damage over multiple phases, making Tighnari a great choice to trigger chain reactions based on the Dendro element. Tighnari’s pupil Colleiwill be joining as a four-star, and for a limited time, players canrecruit her for free by completing 3.0’s main seasonal event,the Graven Innocence.

In addition to Dendro characters, the four-star Electro support character Dori will also join the game. Dori is an elusive merchant in Sumeruand wields a claymore. She can help restore HP and energy for nearby team members with her Elemental Burst. Tighnari, Collei, and Zhongli will be available in the Event Wishes during the early half of the update, followed by Dori along with Ganyu’s and Sangonomiya Kokomi’s reruns.

More optimizations and features will be implemented with the massive expansion to enhance gameplay as well. Three new tools, the Boon of the Elder Tree, Ultra-Hot Burner Lamp Test Model, and Fishing Line Stabilizer can be acquired to make the wood farming, cooking, and fishing process easier. Colored shadows are also applied to make Teyvat a more vivid world.
