Meet Mavuika in 5.3 Genshin Impact Special Program This Week

We have a date and time for the 5.3 Genshin Impact Special Program livestream and introduction to playable Mavuika. HoYoVerse announced it will air on December 20, 2024. It will air at 5am PT/8am ET. As usual, we’ll be able to catch it on Twitch and YouTube.

As we already know, 5.3 is when Mavuika, Citlali, and Lan Yan will be playable in Genshin Impact, so this Special Program will be when we get to learn about their movesets. The initial teasers only showed their official art, confirmed their elements, and named their constellations. 

We also know we’ll learn about other staples during this Genshin Impact livestream. There will be hints about the continuing storyline and Archon Quests. New events and equipment will come up. There will also be codes for Primogems and in-game items.

This means there’s only a little more time to get Neuvillette and Zhongli again in Genshin Impact. The rerun banners for both units appeared on December 11, 2024. It also marked the first opportunity for Xbox players to get them. Both are popular characters who, if you follow the meta, are quite popular and valued. Neuvillette is for his role as a primary DPS, while we use Zhongli as a supporter for his shields and ability to more easily reach places via the spires he can summon.

Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices, and the Special Program livestream for 5.3 will air at 5am PT/8am ET on December 20, 2024. The launch date for the update is expected to be January 1, 2025.
