Genshin Impact to giveaway free 5-star character of choice every year

The latest Genshin Impact 5.0 livestream revealed key information about the upcoming version update. As the title will celebrate its fourth anniversary on September 28, 2024, the developer used this opportunity to tease its rewards.

Alongside the usual package of Intertwined Fates, Primogems, Gadgets, and more, the developer will be providing something that the player base has been asking for since the first anniversary — a 5-star character.

According to the information, HoYoverse will reward fans with a free 5-star character selector that will include all standard banner units. As such, players can use it to obtain any of the following characters, or their constellations:

• Dehya (5-star Pyro)
• Keqing (5-star Electro)
• Mona (5-star Hydro)
• Qiqi (5-star Cryo)
• Jean (5-star Anemo)
• Tighnari (5-star Dendro)
• Diluc (5-star Pyro)

Furthermore, the Genesis Crystal top-up bonus will also reset alongside the anniversary, providing bonus crystals on the first purchase of any top-up.
