The returning Lantern Rite event will this year be themed around kites, with three minigames offering a way to unlock a free Liyue four-star character - including new addition, the Pyro claymore-wielding Gaming - and a free outfit for Xingqiu. 13 Intertwined Fates and two Fragile Resins will also be up for grabs as a mixture of daily login rewards and mailbox deliveries.

Whether you’re on the ground or swimming in the sky, the new zone should hopefully look fairly picturesque thanks to some new visual technology introduced with 4.4. Chenyu Vale’s misty hills will be rendered using Global Far Fog, apparently allowing for cloud effects to drift naturally and shift density and direction based on the rolling mountains’ terrain and altitude. On the floor, those mountains will have a gradient tint in cyan, green or tan applied based on their height, distance and the makeup of the rocks and mountain themselves.
