This isn’t the first time MiHoYO have given out items and in-game currency when issues have cropped up with Genshin Impact.Back in Februaryduring the Lunar New Year celebrations, some players were sent two of the Lantern Rite gifts containing Intertwined Fates used for spins in the gacha machine to unlock event characters and weapons. To make up for that, MiHoYo then sent everyone an extra Lantern Rite gift. Yay for egalitarianism.

Grahamcounted Genshin Impactamong the best games of 2020. “I’d recommend it even if you don’t like anime, and even if you don’t like JRPGs - and I don’t, particularly,” he said. “This is a rare game where I’m as excited to see what’s over the next hill as I am to advance the story, and where my favourite moment so far was when I stumbled upon a duck pond at night.“ Hopefully he managed to wade himself out okay.

Genshin Impact version 2.7, erm, hasn’t got a date attached as yet. MiHoYo say to keep checking back regularly. You can nab Genshin Impact in its 2.6 state for exactly no monies over on theofficial site.
