Before each major Genshin Impact update, Travelers are treated to a Special Program live stream. These streams give us a preview of the new content headed our way, including new events and banners. Not only that, but the Special Program typically offers a few free gift codes for Genshin Impact, letting players get some in-game currency for free. The Genshin Impact Version 5.7 Special Program aired on June 6th, giving gamers a preview of the next big update. Genshin Impact‘s 5.7 update arrives on June 18th and will be called “A Time and Space for You.”
The Special Program for Genshin Impact Version 5.7 featured several of the voice actors from the English version of the game as our narrators. The trio takes us through the new story content, events, and more coming in the next Genshin Impact update. And the rumors about Skirk’s return are indeed true. We’re about to learn more about this character in Version 5.7. She will be the star of the new story quest, Crystalina Chapter: Act 1, which digs deeper into the characters’ past. The 5.7 update will also bring in a new Traveler Archon quest, continuing the twin story. For a sneak peek of the new story content, check out the A Time and Space for You trailer:
Along with new story content and events, the Genshin Impact 5.7 update will bring in optimizations to improve the game’s resource management on mobile devices. Gamers will also see updates to Resin rewards, the Adventurer Handbook, and the ability to retry Spiral Abyss chambers.
