Genshin Impact Update 2.4: Release date, characters, and everything new

Players will be adventuring below the depths of Watatsumi Island.

With Genshin Impact Update 2.3 in the rearview mirror, miHoYo has already set sights on Update 2.4. Scheduled to launch on Jan. 5, Update 2.4 takes players below the ocean to a new area of Enkanomiya, a floating island that resides under Inazuma. Along with new character banners, miHoYo will be adding new events for players to participate in and earn rewards. Here's what we know about Update 2.4 so far.

Genshin Impact Update 2.4: Visit the mysterious location of Enkanomiya

As leaks had suggested, Genshin Impact Update 2.4 will open up a new location under Watatsumi Island. Enkanomiya is a floating island beneath Inazuma that's been sealed away for millennia. Because it's been sealed underground, there isn't a natural day and night cycle. Instead, miHoYo says that players will use the Dainichi Mikoshi, the artificial sun developed by the ancient civilization, as they explore the area.

Genshin Impact Update 2.4: Yun Jin and Shenhe make their debuts

Yun Jin and Shenhe are two new characters set to headline the first banner event of the update beginning on Jan. 5. MiHoYo states that they make for great support characters.

  • Yun Jin: Yun Jin is a popular singer and dancer among Liyue Harbor and is the current director of the Yun-Han Opera Troupe. She is a four-star Geo user who wields a powerful polearm. Her Elemental Burst, Cliffbreaker's Banner, deals area-of-effect damage and grants party members bonus damage based on Yun Jin's defense stat. Her Elemental Skill allows her to form a shield that absorbs elemental and physical damage.
  • Shenhe: Shenhe is a five-star Cryo polearm user who hails from a clan of exorcists. She also happens to be Cloud Retainer's disciple. Her Elemental Burst, Divine Maiden's Deliverance, deals massive area-of-effect damage through a spirit talisman that roams the battlefield. Spring Spirit Summoning, her Elemental Skill, unleashes that same spirit and buffs party members.

Xiao, Ganyu, and Zhongli will also be featured on reruns. Now's probably a good time to start saving up your Primogems if you haven't already.

  • Xiao: Xiao is a powerful five-star Anemo adeptus. Staying away from most people, he spends his time in Wangshu Inn.
  • Ganyu: Another five-star adeptus, Ganyu is a Cryo bow user and is the general secretary of the Liyue Qixing.
  • Zhongli: Commonly known as the Geo Archon Morax, Zhongli gave up his Gnosis and now works with the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

Genshin Impact Update 2.4: New weapons, monsters, and events

While Update 2.4 doesn't add a ton of new items, there's still plenty for players to do with the Lantern Rite festival returning to Liyue. And after the Jade Chamber was destroyed during a previous Archon Quest, players can team up with Ningguang to rebuild it.

Events

  • Fleeting Colors in Flight: Players will need to prepare for the Lantern Rite festival by helping out the locals and Ningguang. This includes rebuilding the Jade Chamber, participating in various mini-games, and even fighting a few monsters along the way.
  • Windtrace: Described as a classic game from Mondstadt's history, Windtrace sees players split into two sides (Hunters and Rebels) who then battle for contested zones.
  • Eight Locales Over Mountain and Seas: It's unclear what this event fully entails, but players will be travelling alongside a tanuki during it.
  • A Study in Potions: Help a local alchemist in Mondstadt create a new potion and earn rewards for your hard work.
  • Hangouts: Hangouts for Yun Jin and Ningguang have been added.

Weapons

  • Calamity Queller (five-star polearm)

Monsters

  • Bathysmal Vishaps: These Vishaps hunt in packs and use their surroundings to their advantage during battle.
  • Abyss Lector: Fathomless Flames: These Abyss Lectors deal powerful Pyro attacks that can harm characters whether they are shielded or not.

Genshin Impact Update 2.4: Release date

MiHoYo will release Update 2.4 on Jan. 5, 2022. As usual, whenever the update does release, you can expect server maintenance to get started around 6 a.m. China Standard Time (5 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. PT), lasting anywhere between four to six hours. Players will be compensated for the downtime with Primogems, accordingly.

Apple and Meta Reportedly Discussed AI Partnership for iOS 18

Apple has held discussions with Meta about integrating the Facebook owner's AI model into iOS 18 as part of its Apple Intelligence feature set, according to a report over the weekend. Meta launched Llama 2, its large language model, in July 2023, and in April, the company released the latest versions of its AI models, called Llama 3 . The Wall Street Journal reports that the two longtime rivals have held talks about offering Meta's model as an additional option to OpenAI's ChatGPT. The paywalled report notes that the discussions haven't been finalized and could fall through. As part of Apple Intelligence, Apple has announced a partnership with OpenAI that will allow Siri to access ChatGPT directly in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia to provide better responses in relevant situations. Using ChatGPT will be optional, so users with concerns about the technology can abstain and still make use of Apple's own new AI features. Speaking at WWDC 2024, Apple's

Here Are the macOS Sequoia Features Intel Macs Won't Support

When Apple released macOS Monterey in 2021, some key features required a Mac with Apple silicon. The same scenario played out with macOS Ventura in 2022, and then again the following year with the release of macOS Sonoma. With macOS Sequoia set to arrive in the fall, which new features can Intel Mac owners expect to be unavailable to them this time around? Apple says that macOS Sequoia is compatible with the same Macs as macOS Sonoma, but Apple's fine print reveals that certain new features won't work on Intel machines. If you're still on an Intel Mac, here's what you won't have access to. Apple Intelligence Apple Intelligence , a deeply integrated, personalized AI feature set for Apple devices that uses cutting-edge generative artificial intelligence to enhance the user experience, won't be available on Intel Macs. Apple says the advanced features require its M1 chip or later, so if your Mac was released before November 2020, you're out of luck. T

iPhone 16 Pro Models to Adopt 'M14' Advanced Samsung OLED Panels for Improved Brightness and Lifespan

The upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be the first Apple smartphones to adopt Samsung's high performance "M14" OLED display panel, claims a new report coming out of South Korea. According to ETNews , Samsung's "M" series of OLED panels are made for flagship smartphones, while "14" refers to the number of high-performance materials used to produce them. "M14" is the first series of its kind, and the panel is said to have been developed to deliver superior brightness and longevity. Samsung has reportedly placed orders for the M14 materials and is preparing to mass produce the displays in the second half of the year for Apple's iPhone 16 Pro models. Google's Pixel 9 smartphone is the only other device that is expected to adopt the high-performance displays in 2024. A previous report out of China claimed that this year's ‌iPhone 16 Pro‌ models will feature up to 1,200 nits of typical SDR brightness – a 20%

Apple Boosts A18 Chip Orders in Anticipation of High iPhone 16 Demand

Apple is said to have upped its order of next-generation chips from TSMC to between 90 million and 100 million units, following heightened demand expectations for its iPhone 16 series. Last year's initial chip order volume for the iPhone 15 series launch is believed to have been in the region of 80-90 million units, suggesting Apple is anticipating higher demand for its 2024 devices, according to Taiwanese outlet CTEE . The arrival of Apple Intelligence in iOS 18 is expected to boost initial sales of the devices. One of the reasons is that Apple Intelligence requires at least an iPhone 15 Pro to run, which means owners of last year's iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will miss out on Apple's new AI features unless they upgrade to an iPhone 15 Pro or plump for one of the iPhone 16 models. Last year, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus were equipped with the A16 Bionic chip – the same chip that was in the iPhone 14 Pro models – whereas the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max f
