Genshin Impact has made a huge impact on the gaming landscape over the last year. With update 1.5 behind us, it's time to look forward to 1.6.

Here's what we know about all the upcoming skins and how you unlock them.

Release Date

While we don't have an official release date for 1.6, we have a pretty good guess.

Generally, updates run for about a month and a half and the last update was on April 28. This leaves room for 1.6 around June 9th. This is especially likely with Eula's banner being scheduled to end on June 8th.

With the Version 1.6 Special Program stream behind us, this leaves plenty of time for the build-up to the next event.

What Are The Skins?

Over on the PlayStation Blog, we got given all the information we need on upcoming skins.

They revealed that Jean would receive the new "Sea Breeze Dandelion" outfit and Barbara would receive the "Summertime Sparkle" outfit.

Jean's can be purchased from the in-game shop where Barbara's will require taking part in the Echoing Tales event. In this, you have to collect Echoing Conches to unlock it.

New Character

In this blog post, some information was also revealed on the long-awaited character, Kaedehara Kazuha. He will officially be joining the game and will finally be available to use.

Even more was revealed about him, including news on team buffs and elemental attacks. If you're looking for someone who is a little different and can provide some buffs for your team, you will want to keep a lookout.
