It seems there is more to look forward to in Genshin Impact’s version 1.3 release than just mobile controller support for iOS devices. On February 3, 2021, the Lantern Rite festival arrives in the world of Teyvat’s Liyue Harbor.
Participation in this historic annual event is highly lucrative with more than 1,600 Primogems, a free four-star Liyue character, and other rewards to be earned without payment.
Marketed as “the biggest festival in Liyue’s calendar,” the Lantern Rite is jam-packed with festive events and divided into three stages, with each stage being based on completing requests for inhabitants. The festivities conclude in a spectacular ceremony on the first full moon of the year when lanterns carrying the wishes of Liyue’s citizens are released into the sky.
The developers ended their announcement by thanking the community with continuing surprises of “a daily login event, in which you can claim a total of 10 free Intertwined Fate, and an event challenge offering the chance to win a four-star Liyue character of your choice.”
