A new leak in Genshin Impact suggests that a well-loved event will be making a comeback in Version 4.3, potentially accompanied by a re-run banner. For the past three years, the RPG game from HoYoverse has delighted players with a wide range of exciting and unique events. Each update has given players the opportunity to participate in different kinds of events, from epic story-driven flagship events to smaller challenges focused on combat, traversal, and gathering. In the upcoming update, a popular past event will be returning for another run.
The abundance of events in Genshin Impact has always brought fresh excitement to the game, often introducing new mini-games. Events such as "Ballads of Breeze" and "The Almighty Arataki Great and Glorious Drumalong Festival" have transformed popular musical arrangements into rhythm games. Others like "Fabulous Fungi Frenzy" and "Theater Mechanicus" have added unique twists to the game's combat mechanics. Now, in Version 4.3, the highly favored "Extreme Beetle Brawl" mini-game will make a comeback as one of the events in the update.
A new leak, shared by prominent Genshin Impact leaker Tao via fellow leaker StepLeaker, has revealed the comeback of the "Extreme Beetle Brawl" event. This event was first introduced in Version 3.4 and challenges players to battle against NPCs and other characters using Onikabuto beetles, a unique feature of Inazuma. The gameplay revolves around mastering the mechanics of these beetles. The popularity of beetle battling is acknowledged by the five-star character Arataki Itto, who mentions it in his dialogue and Story Quest. Anticipated to be released in mid-December, Genshin Impact's Version 4.3 update will include this event.
The speculation surrounding Arataki Itto receiving a re-run has grown due to the re-run of the Inazuma-focused event. Itto's last re-run occurred just before the release of "Extreme Beetle Brawl," appearing alongside Wanderer's debut banner in the first half of Version 3.3. Arataki Itto is also significant in Genshin Impact as the most recent five-star Geo character released, almost two years ago. While Itto may not be as widely popular, the oni has consistently been regarded as one of the strongest options for Geo teams in terms of DPS.
As rumors swirl about the "Extreme Beetle Brawl" event and the possibility of an Itto re-run, Itto's title as the latest Geo five-star character may soon be surpassed. Leaks from Genshin Impact's Version 4.3 strongly suggest that a new five-star character named Navia will make her debut as a Geo character, becoming the first since Yun Jin in January 2022. Many fans have expressed the desire for improvements and significant changes to the underwhelming Geo element, which is often considered the weakest among the game's seven elements. Version 4.3 aims to address this by bringing attention and enhancements to Geo characters through the introduction of Navia and an Itto-focused event.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
