New Area Chenyu Vale Opens!
In Version 4.4, the new area Chenyu Vale opens.
As a new addition to the Liyue region, Chenyu Vale is a beautiful, mist-covered area defined by towering mountains, flowing waterfalls, thriving villages, and legends of mystical adepti. Further west from Qiaoying Village, known for tea-making using methods devised by the adepti, lies Yilong Wharf, an important trading hub connecting Fontaine and Liyue that is famous for its massive hydraulic lifts.
However, much of Chenyu Vale is inaccessible to ordinary travelers.
Players can receive the blessing of the adepti to transform into a special carp, allowing them to soar through the sky and reach otherwise unreachable locations.
During your travels, you may encounter legendary beasts roaming Chenyu Vale.
Among them, the most mysterious and formidable Solitary Suanni appears as a new boss.
New Technology Introduced!
Two new technologies enhance the ink-wash painting style of the new Chenyu Vale area.
The first is Global Far Fog (GFF).
This technology allows the density and flow direction of clouds and fog to change based on conditions such as mountain height and terrain.
The second new technology, Gradient Tint Rock, dyes mountain ranges in shades of blue, green, and yellow, adjusted according to the mountain's height, viewing distance, rock texture, and structure.
The Genshin Impact Version 4.4 update, "Vibrant Harriers Aloft in Spring Breeze," launches on Wednesday, January 31, 2024.
