Updated (September 30): Added the Genshin Impact anniversary rewards
MiHoYo’s popular open-world role-playing game Genshin Impact will be celebrating its first anniversary soon. The developers have already made announcements and teasers about their Version 2.1 Special Program.
Will there be a free five-star character for all players? Here’s what we know so far about the Genshin Impact’s anniversary.
Genshin Impact anniversary 2021 date
Genshin Impact was globally released on September 8, 2020. This means the game’s possible in-game anniversary events might become a part of the 2.1 update.
Genshin Impact anniversary 2021 rewards, gifts, free five-star
MiHoYo will be giving out ten Intertwined Fate as an anniversary reward to all Genshin Impact players. Travelers need to participate in the daily login event to get these rewards, according to the game’s Playstation blog post.
Additionally, players across all servers will have their Double Crystal top-up bonus reset during the anniversary period.
There is no official news yet on whether the game will give out a free five-star character aside from Horizon Zero Dawn’s Aloy. Learn how to get the free five-star Aloy here.
