Genshin Impact’s Next Update Adds A Cosy Potion Shop Management Sim
Genshin Impact Version 4.5 is arriving soon on March 13, and developer HoYoverse has announced some of the new content and features that’ll be added with the update. A new event will see players managing an alchemical potion shop, seamstress Chiori will join the roster of playable characters, and another event will allow players to spend some downtime playing with a bunch of cute cats.
While Genshin Impact’s bread and butter is in team-building and elemental-based combat, the game is no stranger to adding in game modes from different genres–from tower defence to base building. Now, the game will be able to play a management sim in the new major seasonal event Alchemical Ascension.
Alongside Mondstadt’s Jean and Lisa, players will have to build up an alchemical business, from collecting ingredients to making and selling potions, down to dealing with the demands of familiar customers. The event will be awarding multiple different rewards, including the exclusive 4-star polearm Dialogues of the Desert Sages.
