Genshin Impact will receive its new update on July 13th, and the video, which debuted on July 2nd, explains what players may expect from it. Genshin Impact’s developer, HoYoverse, followed up the initial trailer with a second one. This is the first opportunity to glimpse the two new outfits that will be included with the update on Wednesday, July 13.

The first is the competition award from Fischl. She adopts a new hairdo and changes her color to blue and white, but her overall form remains the same. Deluca receives new movements, effects, and a more aggressive appearance in the second. This one will be purchased through microtransactions.
