In today’s Special Program Announcement, HoYoverse revealed a lot of new information on Genshin Impact‘s Patch 3.5, called “Windblume’s Breath.”
It shared a video trailer teasing the next Archon quests, progressing through Sumeru’s main story, as well as an official introduction to Dehya as a playable character, and Mika’s. It ended by showing snippets of 3.5’s upcoming events —and there’s a lot to unpack.
As expected and speculated following leaks, Dehya will be a Pyro character wielding a Claymore. Her fierce personality is shown through rock background music in her introduction and through her voice lines played by Amber May, as well as a stylish plunging attack.
Mika, on the other side, will be a polearm Cryo character, of four-star rarity. But there is a twist: he’ll also wield a crossbow. His primary attack combo features both weapons, as he switched from one to another.
He can also make precision strikes like archers when players target a location or hit with his polearm through simple commands. Mika will be a Cryo healer and will bring fresh elements to the game.

Patch 3.5 will also feature a lot of events, with new minigames and returning activities to complete for various rewards. Both minigames that caught the fans’ attention are the Ballads of Breeze rhythm game and an autobattler-esque mode called Fungus Mechanicus.
The video trailer also showed a preview of other activities from the upcoming Windblume Festival event. It revealed a racing minigame, a new Kamera event, themed trials, a cooking game, and Ley Lines bonuses. The Festival will offer a unique weapon as its main reward, too.
New quests and events to discover
The Archon story quest will reveal more lore and background information on the Spiral Abyss, according to the developer. It seems like more chaos is coming to the lands of Teyvat, and Paimon will help you bring an end to it in your next adventures.
The art and quests of Windblume’s Breath, the next patch, show a brighter atmosphere than the story introduced with Patch 3.4. After celebrating the Lunar New Year through the beloved Lantern Rite event, players will soon welcome spring.
