This month has already been rather active forGenshin Impactfans. Among other things, like the recently concluded Unreconciled Stars event, players have been treated to an unprecedented number of leaks and announcements alike.
Almost all of the more recent announcements and leaks have had something to do with Version 1.2 ofGenshin Impact, which is supposed to be the game’s next major addition. Aside from all new characters, narrative content, and the like, the just-released Developers Discussion confirms that Travelers can expect a plethora of quality of life (QoL) improvements as well.

Like most MMORPG (and free-to-play) games,Genshin Impactendures its fair share of criticism. Thankfully, miHoYo has been known to listen to fans, and as per this new Developers Discussion, has every intention of trying to optimize its hit titles' user experience.

The changes are set to include trackable map pins, so players can actually navigate towards one of their custom pins using the game’s radar, custom friend nicknames, and even a private chat function.
Here’s a quick overview of QoL changes nowexpected with Version 1.2per the Developers Discussion:

On top of all this,Travelers should be encountering new characters, new quests, and an entirely new icy mountain range known as Dragonspine. This latter statement is particularly confirmed by the mysterious closing warning attached to miHoYo’s post: “[Travelers should] stay away from snowy mountains! They’re just not safe…”
Genshin Impactis available now on the App Store, Google Play, PC, and PS4, and is currently in development for Switch.
