A chance to get to know the new 5-star hero ahead of her debut in Version 2.7 next week
Genshin Impactwill be back next week with its Version 2.7 update, which hit athree-week delayearlier this month. Among the headline new features anticipated in Phase I of the update is the addition of a new 5-star event-exclusive character, Hydro bow wielder Yelan. You’ll be able to wish for her in the gacha from May 31st, but in the meantime, MiHoYo have set up a web event to let players get to know this mysterious newcomer a little bit better. Naturally, you’ll be rewarded with in-game goodies (including Primogems) for taking part.

To get you up to speed on a day in the life of Yelan and help you decide if you’d like to add her to your character archive, you can participate in theTo Ensnare A Preyweb event, which is live now and will be available until 5pm (GMT) on May 31st. This in-browser mini-game plays out like a visual novel and only takes about 10 minutes to complete. In it, you help an adorable chibi Yelan identify the culprit who’s been leaking Ministry secrets, all while sitting at her favourite outdoor café and calmly sipping her tea.
Successfully identify the guilty party and you’ll receive a reward of 40 Primogems, 3 Varunada Lazurite Fragments, 20,000 Mora, and 2 Mystic Enhancement Ores, delivered to you via an in-game mail drop within a few minutes. Fail to identify them and… well, I’m not sure because (sorry for the flex) I got it right first time, but I suspect you’ll be allowed to claim the reward anyway. This is Genshin Impact, after all, a game not known for punishing you for failing to pay attention to the plot.
