Genshin Impact 3.0 Sumeru's Release Date, Characters, And Everything We Know

gamespot.com:

Genshin Impact's 3.0 update is a big one. Titled The Morn a Thousand Roses Brings, patch 3.0 opens up Sumeru and introduces Genshin's seventh and final element, Dendro. It's not strictly new, since Dendro has been around since the beginning of Genshin (some Hilichurl mages are able to use Dendro)--but this marks the first time the Traveler (and by extension, us) will be able to use the element.

Genshin Impact 3.0 releases August 24. Pre-installation is usually available and will likely go live the day before release, August 23. With pre-installation, players can log-in as soon as the maintenance for the new patch is done.

Patch 3.0 will last five weeks, instead of the usual six weeks.

Dendro, according to a Sumeru preview teaser, has three key terms attached: catalysis, wisdom, and life. Mihoyo has so far revealed three of Dendro's reactions with other elements: Burning, Bloom, and Catalyze.

Burning (Dendro and Pyro) is something players have already seen in-game. If you light grass on fire with Pyro, you can witness the effect. Burning is the elemental reaction between Dendro and Pyro.

As the trailer explains, there is a new system where certain overworld features and enemies will change states depending on what element you apply to it, leading to different interactions between the player and the feature in question. In combat, if you defeat an enemy in a specific state, you could even receive special rewards.

In the same teaser, players can see the Traveler hitting a mushroom with Dendro, making it bloom. The Traveler is then able to use the mushroom like a trampoline--an action showing Dendro's potential to be an interesting tool in overworld exploration.

In line with tradition in Genshin Impact's community, leaks
