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

Genshin Impact Version 7.2, Hour of Ruin, will arrive on November 4, HoYoverse confirmed after its Oct 23 special program livestream.

Version 7.2 will center on a new Archon Quest. Players will team up with the Archons, Neuvillette and allies across Teyvat to confront a crisis threatening the seven nations. Completing the quest within the set period will grant 560 Primogems and Character Ascension Materials for Mitya.

A new region will open in eastern Snezhnaya. It will include the underground city of Novokitezhgrad and Wingspan Peak, home to Old Kitezhgrad. Players will neutralize contaminated Kresnik Kristall deposits while uncovering the nation's past, and a colossal creature from the ocean depths will await challengers in Novokitezhgrad.

Two Electro characters will join the roster. Mitya will be a five-star Electro Catalyst user. Valeriy, Major of the Armory Palace, will be a four-star Electro Sword user.

A limited-time event will run alongside the update. It will reward Primogems, enhancement materials and a four-star character of the player's choice. HoYoverse released the Version 7.2 Hour of Ruin trailer during the Oct 23 program.
