The hype for Version 5.6 is intense, and HoYoverse just grinned and teased a few events for Phase I. Going by the official tweet that had a cryptic title that kind of scared everybody (“Paralogism“), people are now in a frenzy trying to predict what will come next in Teyvat! So, what will we face with this update? I’ll break it down before your resin streams live.
First-off the tongue, Paralogism. The very word sounds like you’d find it in a philosophy textbook. In the Genshin world, it very well could be an ancient lore word or even a mechanic. The teaser gave away very little, but the link in the tweet gave us a morsel of miHoYo drip-feed of knowledge to keep the hunger going.
Those Phase I events are usually the prelude to the main event, and if anything is to be learned from the previous updates, Phase I may treat us to a potpourri of combat challenges, mini-games, and perhaps some limited-time story quests. What sort of chaos do I mean? The kind that crowned Lantern Rite, perhaps? And what about all the Windblume Festival shenanigans? HoYoverse know-how to keep us guessing.
And, now, the big question: what are we opening now? Primogems? Crowns? An enticing teaser with new 4-star character? Leakers are already tearing apart the tweet images (the attached picture is everything on the forums), but official news remains a secret. The community’s best guess for now is probably Abyss or Celestia, given the almost grim tone the update has.
Oh, and there’s the hashtag; GenshinImpact5.6: Noteworthy. Now watch for the explosion of theories covering everything from Dainsleif finally becoming playable to the Signora ghost haunting the event (okay, maybe not that last one). The timing seems suspicious…right before the summer; HoYoverse may want to drop a big narrative bomb on the later phases.
What’s next? Keep an eye on the official site for full patch notes, but until then, grind your artifacts like crazy and build up those primos. If Genshin taught us one thing, it’s that FOMO basically equals a Ruin Guard’s spin attack block.
TL;DR: Phase 1 events for version 5.6 are on the way, and the name is still a mystery. The hype train doesn’t stop. Stay tuned, Travelers!
