A new set of Genshin Impact leaks reveals more information about an upcoming card game mode that should arrive in the future. Over the last couple of weeks, credible leakers have been hinting at a new game mode that should arrive in updates 3.2 or 3.3.
Players seem overall happy with a new game mode claiming that it tackles one of Genshin Impact's greatest problems is the lack of permanent content. According to a big part of the community, the only notable piece of endgame content is the famous Spiral Abyss which can become redundant after some time.
A popular Genshin Impact leaker named Ubatcha1 has revealed additional details about the new TCG mode. According to the leaker, the game starts with both sides choosing three characters, one of whom will serve as the Active Character, and then drawing an additional five cards. Each round, they will get eight Elemental Dice to roll before taking turns to act and finish their turn. Each dice represents one element with one additional dice called "Omni element" which can be treated as any of the seven Genshin Impact elements. The round is over once both sides are finished, and they are allowed to draw two cards.
The leaker has clarified that the current choices for the Active Character do not include every unit from the playable roster, however, more additions can be made in the future before the game mode officially joins the live servers. Players can face a lot of opponents which will include familiar faces like Fischl or the upcoming Genshin Impact character Cyno who will apparently have two sets of difficulty.
Previous Genshin Impact leaks have revealed that players will have the option to challenge each other in this new game mode which will also include a couple of weekly rewards. In order to win a game of this new card game, players will need to defeat all the opponent's character cards.
The leaker has revealed that players can take the following actions: use their characters' skills, switch the Active Character, play a card from their hand, discard a card from their hand in order to change the elemental type of one of the elemental dice, and end their turn. The addition of such a niche game mode is certainly a step in the right direction in solving one of Genshin Impact's greatest problems which are the constant content droughts.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
