HoYoverse has announced the Genshin Impact Version 5.2 release date, as well as what new characters and features you can expect when the update arrives.

Following on from last month's Version 5.1Genshin Impact Version 5.2 officially arrives on November 20th, alongside the long-awaited Xbox Series X|S version of the game. There's still no word on when - or, at this point, whether - the game will be appearing on Switch, however.

In any case, Version 5.2 will introduce two new Saurians to get to grips with: Qucusaurs and Iktomisaurs. They'll help you to reach new areas, find hidden treasure, and even engage enemies in combat, and they'll be introduced alongside two new Natlan clans, the Flower-Feather Clan and the Masters of the Night Wind.

Adorable new Saurians are waiting for you to discover them when Genshin Impact Version 5.2 arrives later this month.

As you've probably guessed, this update's two new characters each hail from one of the above clans. Chasca, the Peacemaker of the Flower-Feather Clan, is a five-star Anemo bow user who can "float and attack mid-air".

She's joined by Ororon, a four-star bow user who wields the Electro element. He can deal damage, taunt enemies, and even boost your team's gliding speed, making him invaluable in exploration as well as combat.

Both characters will debut as part of the first half of Version 5.2's Event Wishes, alongside a rerun of Lyney. In the second half of the update's cycle, you can expect reruns of Zhongli and Neuvillette.

Naturally, you can also look forward to new story quests, a brand new boss to take on, and "an array of quality-of-life updates" to make your Genshin Impact gameplay experience smoother.

Don't worry; I haven't forgotten today's codes, either. Here's what you need to input to get some free stuff following today's Genshin Impact Special Program.
