Genshin Impact is back with a new cutscene animation ‘The Final Culinary Showdown’, dedicated to Escoffier and the finale of her story quest. If you haven’t finished it yet, you might want to avoid watching due to the spoilers in the video!
In her personal quest, Escoffier has a cook-off against another chef to settle their differences. However, it takes not one, but two such challenges for the true feelings of all parties involved come to light.
“People often fear mistakes so much that they stop moving forward. Yet they fail to see that the gifted and common alike stand equal in the face of success and failure.”
Despite not being one of the biggest patches, the first half of V5.6 is filled with new content. Travelers can take part in Archon Quest Interlude: Paralogism, meet Escoffier and explore who she is through her story quest, and, of course, take part in the Whirling Waltz event. Even though it takes part in Fontaine, in addition to the usual crew such as Navia, Furina and Wriothesley, it also features Escoffier and a trio of bros from Natlan.
Moreover, HoYoverse already revealed a glimpse at V5.7 characters: Skirk (Cryo) and Dahlia (Hydro). If no one from this version’s banners caught your attention, perhaps they will!
Genshin Impact – Upcoming Banners Include:
- Version 5.6 Phase I, currently ongoing: Escoffier (new, 5-star Cryo Polearm), Navia (5-star Geo Claymore) & Ifa (4-star Anemo Catalyst).
- Version 5.6, Phase II: Kinich (5-star Dendro Claymore) & Raiden Shogun (5-star Electro Polearm).
- Chronicled Wish: Inazuma, featuring a number of Inazuman 5-stars and their Signature weapons. Chiori also makes her surprising appearance here. Despite being born in Inazuma, she had been a part of the Fontaine cast, but the banner calls her home.
