Genshin Impact developers have started teasing novelties for update 7.1. For some players, the new heroine will not be a surprise — dataminers already extracted images of the characters from beta version files a few days ago.
Now miHoYo (HoYoverse) itself has shown a teaser of a girl named Vesna — her element is Anemo, and she has wings and regular legs. According to the lore, she belongs to the Strivozha family, which is highly respected:
In Snezhnaya, the Strivozha surname carries considerable weight. This ancient clan of vils appeared in the snow-covered lands even before the onset of troubled times. Having endured long storms and blizzards, it crowned itself with numerous honors. And Vesna is quite worthy of her surname. She is dazzlingly beautiful, elegant, graceful, full of dignity... well, most of the time. The willful Vesna never constrains herself with others' rules of etiquette, and her directness often turns into antics capable of surprising anyone: one moment she accelerates a train to otherworldly speeds and becomes the happy owner of a ban on driving vehicles. The next, she places the sourest lemon slices on her colleagues' plates and then watches their reactions... But no one would dare doubt Vesna's nobility, for her fame is not limited to beautiful manners and bright outfits, but is based on the sharpness of her blade.
The developers have not yet revealed anything about Vesna's gameplay mechanics.
The release of Genshin Impact 7.1 update is expected in September of this year. Previously, with update 7.0, a new region was added to the game — players got the opportunity to explore Snezhnaya. Currently, miHoYo is studying feedback and gradually fixing technical issues.
