Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail Report Impressive Revenue Numbers for February

Assassin's Creed Jade, the upcoming major open-world mobile game set in Ancient China, will now likely arrive in 2025.

Following a shakeup at Tencent, the world’s largest video game company, the upcoming mobile entry to the Assassin’s Creed series, Assassin’s Creed Jade, has reportedly been delayed. The title has been in development for over four years and the beta was launched in 2022.

Genshin Impact is debuting Arlecchino in Version 4.6, and the Fatui Harbinger is looking to bring a unique exploration skill to the table showcased in a recent leak. The cast of characters in Genshin Impact is diverse, with each of them having a different Element, Weapon, or hailing from a different Region of Teyvat. However, the Archons and the Harbingers have always been a special kind of subgroup – with Archons being powerful support characters, and Harbingers being selfish hypercarries. Arlecchino falls into the latter category.

There’s been drama brewing in the HoYoverse fandom for some time, but it may have reached boiling point following the announcement of Honkai: Star Rail’s latest update, Into the Yawning Chasm. As the game celebrates its first anniversary, the gacha game developer announced rewards of up to 1,600 Stellar Jade and up to 20 Star Rail Special Passes. For the uninitiated, this represents 30 free pulls on a character or weapon banner.

A new chart for Genshin Impact details the ownership rates for the game's five-star characters, showing how many players have picked up the game's most powerful characters. Since the debut of the massively popular RPG in late 2020, HoYoverse has added a wide variety of new characters to the open-world action game. Each update to the game has typically added at least one roster member to the game, with the recent Version 4.5 update introducing Chiori as Genshin Impact's newest five-star unit. Now, a recent chart shares more information about the game's rarest characters.

According to reliable sources, Version 4.6 in Genshin Impact will reveal a fair bit about Natlan during one of its main events. Though certain corners of Teyvat, such as Fontaine and Snezhnaya, have been extensively teased since the launch of the game, Genshin Impact has kept the Pyro Nation of Natlan shrouded in mystery. Bennett remains the only character in the entire game with ties to the region, and given that he grew up in Mondstadt, he has no useful information or special insight into his homeland and its current state of affairs.

A few Genshin Impact leaks give players a glimpse into Petrichor Island and new desert areas that will be released in version 4.6. Genshin Impact marches toward version 4.6, which will see the addition of the long-awaited Fatui Harbinger, Arlecchino. Interestingly, recent leaks indicate that the upcoming character will be introduced as a weekly boss. She will have her own trounce domain, in which players will have to win a two-phase boss battle to earn valuable rewards.

Genshin Impact and Discovery Channel have announced the Teyvat Nature Discovery Tour, a joint initiative seeking to raise awareness about a number of fragile natural habitats. The collaboration comprises a Genshin Impact online event, an offline benefit sale, and a mini-documentary voiced by Game of Thrones star Kit Harington and several other celebrities.

Recent Genshin Impact leaks show two new bosses and Remuria enemies that will allegedly arrive in version 4.6. With the closed beta test for Genshin Impact's update 4.6 now underway, leaks about the upcoming content have arisen. It was revealed that the next version will expand Teyvat into new sub-regions, Bayda Harbor and Petrichor Island, to fill some empty spaces on the map. In addition, it will bring back a fan-favorite domain event, Vibro-Crystal Research, that requires players to dispatch enemies within a limited time to earn Primogems and other rewards.

Genshin Impact players can already start farming for Arlecchino, as her full ascension and talent material list has been leaked. Though artifacts tend to be the primary source of power in Genshin Impact, ascending a character to the level cap and upgrading their talents is still a worthwhile pursuit. To do so, Genshin Impact expects players to scour the lands of Teyvat and brave its domains to obtain the materials each individual character needs.

Honkai: Star Rail has confirmed the arrival of a new character named Robin for update 2.2. Even though Version 2.1 has not even arrived yet, the official social media accounts have already given more information on which character will join the roster in the next update.

Genshin Impact has revealed the list of four-star characters and weapons that will be obtainable on the Chronicled Wish banner. Genshin Impact players are counting down the days until the version 4.5 update lands in the game. As revealed in a livestream last week, the gacha-based RPG will refresh its content with a new catalog of units, events, and weapons. Moreover, it will bring story quests to expand the Penacony arc further.
