Genshin Impact leaks: Everything we know about 1.2 update

Dimapur, Dec. 7 (EMN): Genshin Impact is going to get a new 1.2 patch on December 23, 2020, and the update will bring a host of new features to the open-world role-playing game by miHoYo. We expect miHoYo to bring new aspects and much-needed quality of life changes to the game with the update.

The 1.2 patch is also rumoured to bring a new playable area, quests, events and characters to Genshin Impact. However, these are just rumours and the developers have not officially confirmed anything except for Dragonspine, the game’s third region.

The new playable area, Dragonspine, is a region supposedly covered in snow and is expected to be added to the game via a new in-game event. Another Genshin Impact leak suggests that the new update will bring two new characters to the game. The characters are: Ganyu, a Cryo-element character and Albedo, a Geo-element character. Given that the character leaks for update 1.1 had actually turned out to be true, we can expect that the two leaked characters for 1.2 patch might actually happen.

Here are the confirmed features and changes coming to Genshin Impact in patch 1.2 via TalkEsport:

• Private Chat Function: Players will be able to privately chat with their friends with the click of a single button.
• Friends Nicknames: Players will be able to select an avatar and set a nickname for their friends.
• Trackable Pin: Players will be able to track custom pins/bookmarks in the map.
• Repeat Domains Without Exiting: Another quality of life change that will allow players to repeat domains without leaving them.
• Auto Pick-Up Domain and Leyline Drops: Domain and Leyline Drops will be auto-stored in the inventory.
• Dialogue Autoplay System: Dialogues can be auto-played.
• Travel Log Archive: Dialogues from Archon Quests and Story Quests will be saved and can be viewed later.
• Co-op Connectivity Improvement: Leaving Co-op during domain will no longer interrupt other players.
• New Free Acquaint Fate System: Players will get 1 Acquaint Fate each time they ascend a character to LVL 20, 50, or 70.
