Alright, all Genshin Impact fans, elbow your seat because something snuck in minutely for you courtesy HoYoverse. There has been some cryptic tweet from the official Genshin Impact Twitter account with one image, and the internet just crowed: “Hold on, what’s coming on May 20 PT / May 21 BST?”
“Guess what Event Quest reward is coming” was the accompanying caption to a date and a link to an image. No sweat, right? Wrong! The entire Genshin community is up for scrutinizing that image in every pixel as if it were the Rosetta stone. Honestly, can you blame them?
First of all, the timing-everything… May 20 PT (so you would know that it stands for Pacific Time) really signifies the conclusion of what is probably the next iteration of an ongoing event or even a brand new event. Genshin just stands there as is, owing to so many downing of content in a row. So literally, this can be anything from a limited-time challenge to a full-blown expansion. What really got that one nibble-worthy bit is the explicit teasing of reward.
Come to the tease image. It’s so…. vague. Like intentionally vague. No characters; no weapons; just some atmospheric visuals whose meaning could change depending on who is viewing it. Some fans are speculating it may be hinting at a new weapon skin or maybe a free 4-star character (I mean, when is not a good time to give away a free character!?). On the other hand, some think that the tease might be for Primogems-because, really? Is that a secret? We need those blue gems like, yesterday.
But tell me, would Genshin just toss out rewards for nothing? No way. If this is an Event Quest, it probably leads into a bigger storyline or bigger challenge. That either connects with the storyline they just ended or already sets up for the next big update. So, anyway, teasing this now means it’s going to be an event people are gonna think to log in for.
God will judge themòThe community buzzed with speculation: Some Twitter users say it’s a new gadget; some are sure it unlocks a secret boss fight. A wild card: A user considers that this could be a sneak peek for a future character’s signature weapon. Maybe. Or maybe not. Where’s the fun in Genshin teasers if we don’t stay up guessing until the last second?
Now the smart-minded way to go about this is to highlight May 20 on your calendar (or 21, if you’re on BST). Keep an eye on all the official announcements; resin… that’s gonna be an essential ingredient. Because there are two things we have learned from history: A Genshin Impact reward is either going to change the game or at least make the grind glitter really hard.
Should it turn out to be 50 Primogems and a handful of Mora, we would’ve been entertained all along. But I’m sure HoYoverse has their collaborative ideas. Stay alert, Travelers, as things will definitely be up.
