Genshin Impact Discord – what is it and how do I join?

Genshin Impact has worked its way into the hearts of many fans worldwide, many of whom flock to different corners of the internet to share their passion. With active communities on multiple platforms, from Reddit, to Twitter, and even YouTube, there’s no shortage of Genshin content if you know what to search.

Of course, one place is right at the core of the community – and that’s the Genshin Impact Discord server. With hundreds of thousands of fans flocking to the official server as soon as it opened, it’s no wonder it was crowned the largest and most popular Discord in the world.

The official Genshin Impact Discord server – is it full?

Way back on October 30, 2020, only a month after the game’s initial release, the Genshin Impact Discord server hit over 734,000 subscribers, claiming the title of the biggest Discord server in the world. Naturally, it didn’t take too long for the server to reach max capacity, with 800,000 players subscribed. Unfortunately, this means that the first official Genshin Impact Discord server is full, so you can’t join anymore.

Does Genshin Impact have a second Discord server?

Yes! Luckily, Mihoyo heard the cries of its fans, and opened a second Genshin Impact Discord server – the Genshin Impact Tavern, and there is still space to join. All you have to do is follow this link.

Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch release date

While ARPG fans everywhere have spent over a year enjoying thrilling battles and gliding over gorgeous scenery in Genshin Impact, Nintendo Switch fans have been left high and dry without a gliding license. Despite Hoyoverse having announced a Switch port of their hit title, we’ve found ourselves patiently awaiting any scraps of news – which is a lot tougher without a Paimon menu that can help you skip time.

Luckily, this awesome title is already available on PC, mobile, and Playstation, but we’re still eager to hear anything about the upcoming Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch release date. Hopefully, with the trailer for the Switch version already in circulation, we shouldn’t have to wait too long – though we may send a couple of prayers to the archons in hopes of getting it sooner. Every journey may have its final day, but we can’t help rushing towards this one!

If you want to keep up to date with all the latest Genshin Impact news, be sure to keep an eye on our Genshin Impact update, Genshin Impact next banner, and Genshin Impact leaks guides. You never know what’s on the horizon.

Here’s everything we know about Genshin Impact Switch at the moment.

When is the Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch release date?

While Hoyoverse has confirmed that we’re definitely getting Genshin Impact on Nintendo Switch at some point, they’ve yet to announce a release date. They revealed that the Switch port was introduced far into the development cycle, which may be the reason why it didn’t release alongside the other versions of the game, however, it’s been quite a long time since then, and there’s still no sign of a Genshin Impact Switch port.

Way back on the 14 January, 2021, we got a sneak peek of what’s to come in the Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch trailer, as seen above. But, over a year later, we’ve still not heard any more information. Hopefully, it’s not too far off – and even more players can be introduced to the wonderful world of Teyvat.

We’ll be sure to update this guide whenever new information drops. But for the time being, you can still play Genshin Impact on mobile, PC, and PS4.

Freebies: all the latest Genshin Impact codes

How can I play Genshin Impact elsewhere?

Of course, if you’re new to the world of Teyvat, we recommend you check out our Genshin Impact tier list, grab a couple of freemogems from our Genshin Impact codes, and keep an eye on our Genshin Impact events to help get your wind glider off the ground.

Genshin Impact 1.2 adds a new map called ‘Dragonspine’

The current map in Genshin Impact is already extremely vast and takes even the most seasoned adventurer many hours to explore. Since Genshin released in September, developer miHoYo has released numerous updates for the game that have included extra events, new characters, fresh quests, and much more. To add to the already vast amount of content Genshin Impact has to offer, miHoYo has announced that the brand new snow-covered realm of Dragonspine will soon open to all intrepid explorers.

Dragonspine is a frigid area, so a new Sheer Cold bar has been added to make sure you can keep track of your temperature while exploring the biting cold. This should change up the way players go about exploring Genshin’s more treacherous terrain. A seasonal event is also on the way that will see you investigating a mysterious sword alongside Albedo, the Chief Alchemist and Captain of the Investigation Team of Mondstadt’s Knights of Favonius.

Genshin Impact version 1.2 is titled ‘The Chalk Prine and the Dragon’ and, beyond the new map, will also include two playable five-star characters, fresh ingredients, rare new artefacts, and recipes for multiple four-star weapons.

The expansion is set to drop on iOS, Android, PC, PS4, and PS5 on December 23 at no additional cost. You can check out the full trailer for Genshin Impact version 1.2 below.

Genshin Impact update adds more story missions and a melee-ranged hybrid character

Genshin Impact developer miHoYo today announced the first major update for the mobile and console RPG. The update, which hits phones (or console) on November 11, introduces a bunch of new features, characters, and events. We scored the game 7/10 in our Genshin Impact review, and forthcoming updates only look to bring more of the great exploration that we enjoyed so much.

First of all, we’ll get the finale to the Liyue chapter of the game through a bunch of brand-new quests and story beats. You can expect to explore the other five cities in Teyvat in future updates, too, so you won’t be short of new content for a good while.

As well as finishing the section of story set in Liyue Harbor, update v1.1 also adds Genshin Impact’s first seasonal event, which we can expect to see more of in the future. November’s seasonal offering is  called Unreconciled Stars, and sees players come together to stop a terrible catastrophe from destroying Teyvat as we  know it. The event goes on for two weeks, during which time you can  complete new quests, take on co-op challenges, and unlock  rewards – including 4-star character Fischl.

But that’s not all, as the update also introduces four new playable characters. The 5-star characters are Childe and Zhongli, who possess unique abilities and skills. ‘Childe’ is a hydro archer and can switch between two combat modes, melee and ranged. Zhongli is a  Geo polearm user with great defensive capabilities – oh and he can also petrify his foes.

We’ve got less information at this stage about the two new 4-star characters, Xinyan and Diona, but rest assured that they’ll be ready to diversify your party and unlock nifty combos as you adventure through Teyvat. We’ll have to wait and see where these four characters fit in our Genshin Impact tier list, but we’re excited to find out.

The last major addition in the update is a new ‘Reputation’ system. This allows you to build up your standing in the regions of Teyvat, and the higher your prestige among the citizens of a certain area, the more rewards you get. There are region-exclusive items, customisations, and new tools to  aid you on your adventure. You can also get your hands on a portable waypoint, stove, and treasure compass via the reputation system, so keep your rapport with each region’s citizens in top form.

We’ve also got a great Genshin Impact guide if you’re just getting started – or if you need to look up something about the map, multiplayer or primogems. If you’re after a freebie, check out our list of Genshin Impact codes to make sure you don’t miss out.
