Genshin Impact 2.4 Fleeting Colors in Light Event: Get a Liyue 4-star Free Character


Genshin Impact 2.4 marks the return of what is probably the best event in the short story of miHoYo's gacha game. The Lantern Rite event celebrates the Chinese New Year with a festival full of lights, food, and gifts.

The main celebration takes place in Liyue. Data miners indicate that one of the favorite features of last year's Genshin Impact Lantern Rite is back - Travelers will obtain a 4-star free star for free!

Here is everything we know so far about the Genshin Impact Fleeting Colors in Light event.

Event Details

Genshin Impact 2.4 is going live on January 5, 2022. However, players will most likely have to wait a month for the Lantern Rite to hit the game, as the Chinese New Year celebration starts in February.

According to data miners, Fleeting Colors in Light is the name of the Genshin Impact 2.4 Lantern Rite event, and it will be divided into 4 sections:

  • Smelting fireworks
  • Waverider mini-games and mob camps in Guyun Stone Forest
    • An event similar to Golden Apple Archipielago
  • Wondrous Shadows
    • Mini-games similar to Dragon Spine Special Training
  • Boss domain with a 3-head hydra
    • Combat challenge against a boss that looks like Osial

There will be three types of currencies used in the Afterglow Market: Firework Coins, Hydra Emblem, and another yet to be determined.
