The upcoming version appears to be called “The Rainbow Destined to Burn” and will continue the story arc we began in update 5.0 with the release of Natlan. No chibi character artwork has been added to the stream’s announcement poster, indicating that we may be in for another one led by the developers themselves instead of voice actors.

Naturally, a trailer for update 5.1 introducing us to the next part of the main story in Natlan will be at the top of the priority list for the livestream.

Furthermore, we’ll get a good look at the capabilities of Xilonen, the 5-Star Geo character that will be on the Genshin Impact 5.1 banners. She’s supposed to be an incredibly capable artisan and fashion designer, working important jobs for the Pyro Archon herself.

An array of optimizations, improvements, and feature additions can be expected as well – the developers have already teased time-limited rewards for exploration and a quick-completion feature for the Spiral Abyss.

Finally, the special program is guaranteed to drop some Genshin Impact promo codes for free Primogems and other useful resources.
