In the unlikely event that serious issues extend the maintenance unexpectedly, HoYoverse usually provides an extra 60 Primogems for each hour of additional downtime.
What to Expect in Genshin Impact 4.6
Once servers are live again, players can finally experience the debut of the highly anticipated 5-star Pyro polearm user Arlecchino. The update also continues the Sumeru storyline with Cyno and introduces another new character.
Moreover, Alhaitham’s little brother Freminet seems to be involved in some kind of conflict with the twins Lyney and Lynette. Players will have to progress through the new archon quest to unravel the mystery.
Genshin Impact 4.6 update promises plenty of engaging content to make it worthwhile. The free Primogems is a nice bonus that players can put towards wishing on the new character banners or save for future ones.
