Genshin Impact Version 7.2 'Hour of Ruin' Launches November 4

Genshin Impact Version 7.2, titled "Hour of Ruin," is scheduled for release on November 4 across PlayStation 5, Xbox, PC, iOS, and Android platforms. The update introduces a new Archon Quest where representatives from Teyvat's seven nations converge in Snezhnaya to address the Holy Soil phenomenon triggered by the Nails of Retribution. Players can explore eastern Snezhnaya, including the underground city of Novokitezhgrad and Wingspan Peak, while utilizing new Prime Ice Constructs and elemental shotguns.

Two new characters join the roster: Mitya, a five-star Electro Catalyst user who converts Superconduct reactions into Stellar-Conduct damage, and Valeriy, a four-star Electro Sword wielder offering shields and damage boosts. The initial Event Wish banner features Mitya, Valeriy, and a rerun of Furina. Additional content includes a limited-time crisis management event rewarding players with Primogems and a selectable four-star character, alongside updates to Miliastra Wonderland.
