MiHoYo has announced that Genshin Impact’s version 5.6 update, titled Paralogism, will launch on May 7 on all platforms.
This update included a new Archon Quest chapter, and in a fun twist, even lets you run your very own amusement park. The Archon Quest is an interlude chapter that takes players back to Mondstadt, where Albedo faces a trial, and a monstrous invasion is taking place.
Here’s the description of the amusement park management event, from miHoYo
“A brand-new management gameplay event is coming to Fontaine: The Chevalmarin Film Fantasyland, starring Navia alongside familiar faces from Fontaine and Natlan as you work together to run an amusement park. Through managing three main attractions—Eclectic Escapades, Movie Masterpieces, and Mellow Manor—players can grow their park by upgrading facilities and improving Service Value by recruiting and training employees. Along the way, helpful “Friendly Encounters” and even a local chef may offer valuable management techniques or buffs. Clever use of Action Points during each business cycle is key to maximizing revenue and unlocking Performance Rewards, including the exclusive 4-star bow, Sequence of Solitude.”
Of course, like usual, there’s much more coming in 5.6 as well, not the least of which is two brand new characters. Esscoffier (5-Star) is described as a character “who turns her culinary skills into battlefield prowess. Here’s her description,
“Her combat style blends culinary flair with elemental power. Escoffier’s Elemental Skill allows her to summon the All-Spectrum Multi-Use Cooking Mek, which can either stay in place to absorb Elemental Attacks and prepare food items, or follow the active character to serve up continuous blasts of Cryo DMG. Beyond dishing out damage, Escoffier also brings reliable support to the table. Her Elemental Burst heals allies, and both her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst reduce enemies’ Hydro and Cryo RES, an effect that strengthens with more Hydro or Cryo teammates.
Meanwhile, Ifa (4-Star) is a sauro-vet who rides into the battle alongside his saurian buddy Cacucu. Here’s Ifa’s description,
“This skilled sauro-vet can rain Tonicshots on his foes while healing teammates, and summon a wind current that pulls in enemies to control the battlefield. While in the Nightsoul’s Blessing state, Ifa boosts Swirl and Electro-Charged DMG based on the party’s Nightsoul Points. With his sharp medical instincts, Ifa can also automatically heal the active character when their HP falls below a certain threshold, ensuring his team stays healthy and strong in the heat of battle.”
Genshin Impact is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Android, and iOS.
