Genshin Impact Leak Explains Upcoming Imaginarium Theater

A new, permanent type of endgame is coming to Genshin Impact in the form of the Imaginarium Theater, and one reliable source has provided a comprehensive overview of its systems and features. While the Spiral Abyss has been a mainstay in Genshin Impact since launch, players have been clamoring for more variety when it comes to endgame content.

The Opening Characters of each Imaginarium Theater season will have a 20% buff to their HP, ATK, and DEF, with this bonus even persisting in open-world content. The Imaginarium Theater will have eight stages, and unlike the Spiral
