A fresh leak from the ever-popular game, Genshin Impact, suggests that fans will soon get to experience an Auto Chess mode in the upcoming Version 5.6. Although Genshin Impact traditionally focuses on team-building in an expansive open world, the developers have consistently spiced things up by introducing alternative game modes. Highlights include features like the Genius Invokation TCG and the cozy Serenitea Pot.
Recently, players got to enjoy Repertoire of Myriad Melodies, a delightful musical mode where you can play tunes using various instruments. This rhythmic game started as a novelty during various Flagship Events but eventually earned its place as a permanent mode. Many expect the new Auto Chess mode to follow a similar path, offering players another fresh, engaging way to enjoy Genshin.
KazusaLeaks, a reliable source in the Genshin community, revealed that this Auto Chess mode is scheduled to arrive with Version 5.6 on May 7, 2025. This new feature promises an interesting mix of both PvP and PvE elements, complete with a progression system showcasing currency, equipment, artifacts, and talents. While it’s uncertain how this will mesh with Genshin’s established gameplay, it seems poised to exist independently, akin to the Genius Invokation TCG.
Word on the street is that this Auto Chess feature may tie into Liyue Millennial, a fictional board game developed by in-game character Ninnguang. Past iterations during Flagship Events have received positive feedback from fans, hinting that players can expect a richer long-term progression compared to the limited scope seen in events like Exercise Surging Storm.
Since the Natlan era, Genshin Impact has flourished with various quality-of-life improvements. Not only has it polished its core gameplay mechanics, but it has also made tweaks to its gacha system for a better player experience. Expanding the game further, the Imaginarium Theater keeps growing with new Thespian Tricks and Envisaged Echoes, making the endgame experience more comprehensive. With these exciting additions, including Repertoire of Myriad Melodies and potentially Liyue Millennial, the game’s open world is set to become even more captivating. Version 5.6, expected on May 7, 2025, will likely mark another milestone in this evolving game.
