Hoyoverse today presented on Twitch the news coming to Genshin Impact with the Update 3.0 which will be published at the end of August. The update will see the debut of the Sumeru region, new playable characters, enemies, challenges and events. At the head of the news you will also find the official trailer of the update that summarizes the upcoming news.Genshin Impact update 3.0 is titled "The Morn a Thousand Roses Brings" and will be available from Wednesday 24 august. Between one novelty and another, as per tradition, Hoyoverse has shared three new promotional codes to get 300 Primogem for free and more.
The undisputed star of Genshin Impact's Update 3.0 is Sumeru, the new vast region of charm exotic located west of the Chasm and which is characterized by its lush forests and vast deserts, full of mysteries to discover.
There will also be many new characters native to this region, such as Collei, Tighnari and Dori, some of which are able to exploit the Dendro element and the new elemental reactions, which will be useful both in fights but also during exploration. Version 3.0 of Genshin Impact will also introduce new sets of Artifacts, as well as World Bosses and regular enemies that will bestow the materials needed to upgrade Sumeru's characters.
The Traveler's adventures will continue in version 3.0 with the questline Archon Quest Chapter III, obviously all set in Sumeru, in which we will learn about the characters and mysteries of this region.
In the first phase of the life cycle of Genshin Impact Update 3.0, the banner with Tighnari (5 Stars, bow, Dendro) and Collei (4 Stars, bow, Dendro) and the rerun of Zhongli will be available . In the second phase instead we will find the banners of Ganyu and Sangonomiya Kokomi, with the new Dori unit (4 Stars, claymore, Electro). The weapons banner will include new weapons, including Tighnari's bow.
Limited time events of version 3.0 were also presented with Crown of Insight, Primogem and more up for grabs. The most interesting is certainly "Graven Innocence", the first event in Sumeru, which will allow you to get Collei for free, as well as other rewards such as the precious Primogems. It will require players to explore the region, take on enemies, take photos, as well as complete timed challenges.
The Genshin Impact team also talked about upcoming optimizations and changes. One of the most interesting is that now all Domain of Blessing Artifacts introduced within version 1.2, such as Blizzar Strayer, can now be crafted at alchemical benches using excess pieces. There will also be new gadgets, including one that allows you to get wood from trees more easily and quickly.
The Hoyoverse team also revealed that all updates up to version 3.3 of Genshin Impact will have a life cycle of 5 weeks instead of 6. No news, however, regarding the Italian localization of the game and the Nintendo Switch version, although for the latter perhaps updates could arrive during the course of Gamescom 2022, where the presence of Genshin Impact has already been confirmed. We'll see.

Genshin Impact 3.0 Update: Sumeru Nation & Dendro Element arrives on August 24
Today, global interactive entertainment brand HoYoverse confirmed the Version 3.0 update for its open-world adventure RPG Genshin Impact will launch on August 24. Titled Version 3.0 “The Morn a Thousand Roses Brings,” the upcoming expansion not only includes Sumeru, the fourth of the game’s seven major nations, but it also delivers the Dendro element gameplay, the last piece of Genshin Impact’s seven-element system.
SumeruLocated west of Liyue, the massive region of Sumeru is divided into two main parts: rainforest and desert. Upon its release, players will be able to explore the dense rainforest and multiple settlements nestled within it, including Sumeru City and Port Ormos.
Known as the Nation of Wisdom, Sumeru has the most prestigious historical institution called the Akademiya, founded by scholars loyal to the previous Archon Dendron, the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. When Lesser Lord Kusanali succeeded the previous Dendro Archon 500 years ago, making her the youngest of The Seven, the Akademiya has come to power as the governing body of the state, turning knowledge into a resource that is strictly managed.
Along with a brand-new series of elemental chain reactions. the Dendro element will become playable for the first time. The Dendro element can trigger three different basic reactions: Burning, Bloom, and Catalyze, if used with the Pyro, Hydro, and Electro element respectively.
In combat, Bloom and Catalyze can evolve into further reactions. When Dendro meets Hydro, the Bloom reaction will spawn one or more Dendro Cores, dealing delayed explosive Dendro damage. If these Dendro Cores come into contact with Pyro or Electro before exploding, they can trigger the Burgeon reaction and increase their AoE Dendro DMG, or trigger the Hyperbloom reaction which turns Dendro Cores into Sprawling Shots that can track down nearby enemies. The Catalyze reaction stems from Dendro and Electro, and can apply the Quicken effect to affected targets and increase their damage taken from the next Dendro or Electro hit by triggering the Spread or Aggravate reaction.
In the Sumeru rainforest, plants and creatures with Dendro characteristics can take on various polymorphic transformations by coming into contact with the Hydro, Pyro, and Electro elements. Monsters can switch between different states or attack sequences, and can produce different drops, while certain plants and mushrooms can provide useful effects. Meanwhile, the humid tropical areas provide ideal living grounds for a wider variety of wildlife.
New Enemies
Shroom-Kin have evolved into a special species called the Fungi, to protect their homeland. The new boss enemy, the Jadeplume Terrorshroom is a type of Fungus with a strong animalistic nature and becomes quite territorial and aggressive.
Another new Boss enemy is the Electro Regisvine, who also awaits Travelers in the depths of the forest.
New CharactersDendro characters will also be added to the roster of playable ones. As the Traveler, players can unlock the power of Dendro at the Statue of The Seven in Sumeru, and have a chance to recruit two Dendro archers.
The five-star character Tighnari is a warm-hearted young researcher and Forest Watcher. Both his Charged Attack and Elemental Burst can deal damage over multiple phases, making Tighnari a great choice to trigger chain reactions based on the Dendro element.
Tighnari’s pupil Collei will be joining as a four-star, and for a limited time, players can recruit her for free by completing 3.0’s main seasonal event, the Graven Innocence.
In addition to Dendro characters, the four-star Electro support character Dori will also join the game. Dori is an elusive merchant in Sumeru and wields a claymore. She can help restore HP and energy for nearby team members with her Elemental Burst. Tighnari, Collei, and Zhongli will be available in the Event Wishes during the early half of the update, followed by Dori along with Ganyu’s and Sangonomiya Kokomi’s reruns.
More optimizations and features will be implemented with the massive expansion to enhance gameplay as well. Three new tools, the Boon of the Elder Tree, Ultra-Hot Burner Lamp Test Model, and Fishing Line Stabilizer can be acquired to make the wood farming, cooking, and fishing process easier. Colored shadows are also applied to make Teyvat a more vivid world.
Along with its massive expansion, Genshin Impact’s Version 3.0 will be arriving on August 24.
