Summary
Recent datamining has all but confirmed thatGenshin Impactwill debut its new endgame mode in Version 5.7. While players can breeze through most of the open world inGenshin Impact, the real challenge of the game lies in the Spiral Abyss, Imaginarium Theater, and Local Legends. Unlike Local Legends, the Spiral Abyss and Imaginarium Theater rotate throughout the year, and all signs point to a new game mode being added to this rotation in Version 5.7.
Inspired by Deadly Assault fromZenless Zone Zero, thisnew endgame forGenshin Impactwill pit players against world bosses in a gauntlet of six chambers. Unlike the Spiral Abyss or Imaginarium Theater, this game mode will also feature optional co-op for the first four chambers, allowing players to team up with friends or strangers, not unlike when challenging a Trounce Domain.
According to HomDGCat, the game mode will make its debut in Version 5.7. Given thatGenshin Impactwill have no map expansionin Version 5.7, introducing a new endgame should hopefully keep players occupied until the way to Mare Jivari opens. Earlier leaks claimed that the game mode would feature enticing rewards, with a Sanctifying Elixir being offered to players who clear the first five chambers.
Genshin Impact: Everything Known About the New Endgame
As for its gameplay, unlike theSpiral Abyss inGenshin Impact, the new endgame will seemingly feature three branches, requiring players to assemble three teams per chamber. While players will be able to use the same character across different teams in the first four chambers, the final two will require twelve unique characters to complete. SomeGenshin Impactfans have already expressed concern that the new game mode won’t be friendly to free-to-play accounts, especially given the current trend in the Spiral Abyss.
Version 5.7 is set to introduce Dahlia andSkirk toGenshin Impact, with the latter poised to become one of the most powerful hypercarries in the game. Even though all eyes are now on Nod-Krai, Skirk will no doubt draw plenty of attention from the community. While Dainsleif hasn’t been confirmed for Version 5.7, there’s a strong likelihood that the former Knight Captain of Khaenri’ah will make his annual appearance in the upcoming patch. As for the final zone of Natlan,Genshin Impactplayers will need to wait until Version 5.8 to experience the windless lands of Mare Jivari. Version 5.7 is expected to come out on June 10, 2025.
