Genshin Impact 3.4 update is coming this month and here's everything we know
The Genshin Impact gaming juggernaut continues to roll onwards, and developer MiHoYo has just provided the first proper look at what players can expect in the highly-anticipated 3.4 update expected later this month.
With stats at the time of writing telling us that in the last 30 days alone Genshin Impact has had over 65 million players through its doors, it is safe to say that every update is eagerly awaited by the fanbase, and no doubt MiHoYo’s accounting department. Genshin Impact updates are always accompanied by their own trailer for the game’s six million YouTube subscribers to take in. The 3.4 update is no different and has already been viewed hundreds of thousands of times in the first two hours since it was launched.
If you are new to Genshin you might well wonder what all the fuss is about but once you are hooked, it is a difficult game to put down - coupled with the fact you can play it for free on PC, console or even your mobile phone, means things can get addictive very quickly.
