With the 1.2 Update right around the corner, many fans begin speculating about the rest of the future for the game, such as story lore and more exploitable parts of the map. So far, players have only explored Mondstadt and Liyue Harbor, but what else is in store? What lies beyond that coast off of Liyue Harbor and those closed off borders…

Upcoming Version Release Dates

1.2 December 23, 2020

First off, we have our most recent update, the 1.2 release, introducing characters like Albedo and Ganyu. In this update we also have:

– New Area: Dragonspine (A snowy region between Mondstadt and Liyue Harbor)

One of the most anticipating events, the 1.3 update will definitely be exciting, as it’s close to the New Year’s event in most Asian countries and will celebrate with the Latern Rite event in Liyue Harbor.
