Certain Genshin Impact ads are so dated that they depict limited-time events new players may never get to enjoy. As a newcomer, it must be an oddly disappointing feeling to try the anime game because of an interesting ad, only to find out that the advertised Genshin Impact event no longer exists in-game, in any form. The Genshin community often raises this issue when speaking on the anime game‘s major flagship events – it’s currently impossible to replay them.

Not only is it impossible to replay the flagship events, but players also can’t even read about their contents or lore-related info in-game. This problem was brought up back when Scaramouche was officially introduced in the main story in Genshin Impact version 2.1, even though he first appeared in the Unreconciled Stars event way back in version 1.1 that many players had missed.
