Through a press release, HoYoverse announced the arrival of version 3.6 of Genshin Impact, revealing its release date and an incredible amount of details: let’s find out everything together in this dedicated article
Genshin Impact continues its unstoppable and beloved run in the world of free-to-play: we told you about it at its launch, now some time ago, in a dedicated Non-Review. And it’s scary (in a purely good way) to note how vertically the title has changed since then, how much new content has been added and how much more is yet to come. Via press release, in the past few hours, HoYoverse has announced that version 3.6 of the title, “Celebration of the Akademiya”, will arrive on April 12th. This update will kick off the first Akademiya Extravaganza and introduce a new area full of adventures in Sumeru, along with two new playable characters: Baiuzhu and Kaveh.
Version 3.6 of Genshin Impact is about to arrive: let’s find out all the details together
You can find the trailer for version 3.6 of Genshin Impact right above, but HoYoverse has also disclosed a whole series of details that we want to share with you. The Akademiya Extravaganza, organized by the Sumeru Akademiya, offers visitors a good opportunity to find out more about the most prestigious institute in all of Teyvat and on the different specializations of its six darsanas, also known as the Six Supreme Schools. The grand celebration is ready to welcome players with two main events, the Lore Gala and the Interdarsana Championship. During the Knowledge Gala, each of the six darsanas will set up a booth with six different mini-games to present their research goals and achievements.
For example, Layla’s Rtawahist, who specializes in the study of the stars, has prepared a minigame that involves adjusting an astrolabe to make the stars light up in a particular pattern. The Kshahrewar stand, based on their studies on technology and architecture, will propose an ingenious game which consists in perfecting the construction of roads using as few materials as possible. In addition to the festivities, representatives of the six darsanas will participate in a competition to win the first place in the Interdarsana Championship, thus starting a new story. Layla’s encounter event will also be revealed during version 3.6.
Sumeru | Genshin Impact: Everything We Know About Version 3.6!
In the deepest parts of the desert, far beyond the lavish celebrations in the City of Sumeru, a new area consisting of wastelands and an oasis of flowers will be revealed. According to legends, this land, which has been spoiled by Gray Crystals and Purple Mists, it was one of the major battlefields of the Khaenri’ah disaster dating back 500 years. Fortunately, travelers who visit will be accompanied by the “Pairs”, special creatures who dwell in the oasis. During their adventures, travelers will be able to use their flying skills to access some areas that are impossible to reach on foot.
But as territories expand, so do new dangers. Apep, the virente Grass Dragon who once ruled Sumeru, will appear as a powerful weekly boss in the new Domain of Conquest. In Nahida’s new story quest, Chapter of Sapientia Oromasdis: Act II, you will be able to learn more about this legendary dragon and the history of Sumeru. Meanwhile, other threats will emerge such as the new boss enemy, the Evil Baptizer, and two new members of the Hilichurl family, Anemo’s Outcast Hilichurl and Hydro’s Outcast Hilichurl.

The new version will also introduce two new playable characters, Baizhu and Kaveh, who are well known for their special abilities. Baizhu, a kind doctor with the power of Dendro, will be available as a 5-star character who will use a Catalyst in combat and be able to control wandering spirits and to generate an absolute Shield to heal the party. More anecdotes about the owner of Bubu Pharmacy will be revealed in his story mission, Lagenaria Chapter.
Kaveh, envy, will be a 4-star character from Dendro who will use a Claymore in battle. Known as the light of Kshahrewar, Kaveh is a talented architect from Sumeru. Mehrak, his architect’s toolbox, will be able to scan the battlefield by exploding all Dendro cores and will further increase Kaveh’s combat effectiveness and the Dendro damage he deals. Also, Nahida and Nilou will be reruns in the event wishes for the first half of version 3.6. Baizhu and Kaveh will instead be available in the second half of the version together with the Ganyu rerun.
