Despite many competitors coming to the fore, even from MiHoYo themselves, Genshin Impact remains an impassable mainstay of mobile. Now, MiHoYo have announced the latest major update for the hit ARPG in the form of version Luna VII (subtitled Truth Among the Pages of Purana), set to launch on May 20th.

Fortunately, you'll have new characters to help you out as per usual. With the five-star polearm wielder Lohen, and the debut of fan-anticipated Nicole Reeyn as a five-star pyro catalyst wielder, the first member of the Hexenzirkel faction to be playable.

But even this epic new quest is accompanied by something a little lighter. Miliastra Wonderland offers a new sports-themed event to jump into, and Klee's Little Hexenzirkel gathering encourages players to jump into new minigames and earn rewards. So check in on May 20th for all this and a whole host of other additions as part of Genshin Impact's next major update.
