• Steelsunder Moon

The Lunar Phases will provide blessings to characters in the Spiral Abyss that will grant different buffs after casting their elemental skills.

Since the patch 2.7 update is scheduled to be released on May 31, 2022, it is also evident that the patch release will be the end for the placement function maintenance of Serenitea Pot.

6) New Character level-up guides

This new feature will be added to the upcoming patch 2.7, and players will have a feature option on the talent and artifact page to see the recent recommendations.

Patch 2.7 will also release a new Interlude Archon Quest where the Traveler will investigate more mysteries as they travel deeper into The Chasm.

8) New World & Hangout Event

The official version update notice also mentions adding new World Quests called "Wherefore Did the Spiritstone Descend?"

Kuki Shinobu will also have her Hangout Event in the upcoming patch 2.7 and the Hangout Event will be called "Kuki Shinobu - Act I "The Gang's Daily Deeds." Players will be able to experience multiple endings after the release of the Genshin Impact patch update.
