Genshin Impact 5.2 Release Date, New Characters, Events, Banners, & Story Updates
Today's livestream revealed a great deal about its upcoming 5.2 update, slated for release later this month. This is the second major update since the debut of 5.0, which took players to the new region of Natlan for the first time. As per usual, the latest update includes a handful of new characters for players to pull for, new events to participate in, and a new chapter of 's story, which last left the Traveler seeking an Ancient Name.

Chasca is a peacekeeper of the Flower-Feather clan, and wields a bow in battle. A castaway child raised by Qucusaurs, her innate survival skills are unmatched.
