Genshin Impact anniversary to bring incredible rewards
Per a credible leak source, Genshin Report, the anniversary update will offer much more than the typical banner rotation and festival event. Players may get Primogems in spades for playing through the anniversary.
For many players, Primogems are the most desirable currency in-game, since they facilitate making wishes on banners.
The Genshin Impact community can only speculate on the upcoming rewards for now. Although leaks only mention free Primogems, some players hope for much more out of the anniversary celebration.
Lots of speculation surround getting a free 5-star character or weapon from the Genshin Impact anniversary. Of course, these may be signs of hope more so than speculations.
Regardless, there is some reason to believe that the anniversary will give out a free character. In the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor Discord, the event was compared to the Lantern Rite Festival, which gave out a 4-star Liyue character of the player's choosing.
Per the leaker’s suggestion, the rewards here will even surpass the Lantern Rite Festival, so players just might get a 5-star character or weapon. For now, however, they should keep their hopes in check while there are so few details available.
When is the Genshin Impact anniversary?
