Exploring Genshin Impact 3.3 update: Characters, events, and more

While the next update is scheduled to launch globally on December 7, 2022, players should keep in mind that some timezones will receive the update a day earlier.

Either way, fans will get to enjoy the new update and the content it is set to offer by the end of December's second week. Version 3.3 will continue with the latest Archon Quest and focus more on Scaramouche in the new story. The YouTube video below teases players with glimpses from the new storyline cutscenes.

During the update, fans will witness the character development of one of the upcoming playable characters, Scaramouche (also known as Wanderer). Based on the trailer, there might also be some back-and-forth between Wanderer and Il Dottore, giving him more on-screen time.

Genshin Impact fans had been waiting for Scaramouche to appear on the event wish banners for quite a long while. Officials also confirmed during the recent version 3.3 update livestream that he will debut in Phase I banners, along with a new 4-star character named Faruzan.

There are some exciting events during the 3.3 update where Genshin Impact players will be able to access a free 4-star weapon through the Akitsu Kimodamesh main event.

Based on Test Of Courage, it will pan out to be a horror-based event with Primogems and Crown Insights at stake. Additionally, a new 4-star sword called Toukabou Shigure can also be obtained along with its refinement materials.

Excluding the main version 3.3 event, officials have also announced others that players can look forward to. These include the return of the Windtrace, and Misty Dungeon combat event. There is also a new one called Across the Wilderness, which is an overworld balloon-collecting challenge event.

With the release of the Genshin Impact 3.3 update, players will also receive a new permanent endgame content called the Genius Invokation TCG. It is a card game that can be played inside The Cat's Tail bar, which will become accessible in the latest version update.

Both the PvE and PvP options will be available in the new card game and players will also be able to compete against their friends. Lastly, let us not forget the new artifact domain that is set to reveal two new artifact sets in the new patch.
