A fresh leak has surfaced about Genshin Impact, suggesting the addition of a new Auto Chess game mode in the upcoming Version 5.6. This beloved action RPG, known for its engaging open-world exploration and team-building aspects, often spices things up with unique game modes. Past iterations like the Genius Invokation TCG and the Serenitea Pot demonstrate miHoYo’s ongoing commitment to diversity in gameplay.
In recent updates, they’ve also made musical waves with the “Repertoire of Myriad Melodies” mode, letting players conduct their own in-game concerts with various instruments. This rhythm-based feature first appeared during flagship events and has since become a staple of the game’s regular offerings. It’s widely anticipated that the Auto Chess mode will follow a similar path.
According to the renowned source KazusaLeaks, the Auto Chess mode is expected to debut on May 7, 2025, as part of Version 5.6. This intriguing new mode promises both PvP and PvE elements, complete with its own progression system featuring currencies, equipment, artifacts, and talents. While details on integrating this mode with the core Genshin experience remain vague, it’s likely to exist independently, akin to the Genius Invokation TCG.
There’s buzzing speculation that this new activity might be themed around “Liyue Millennial,” a strategic board game crafted by the character Ningguang within the game’s lore. Previous Auto Chess iterations during Flagship Events have been well-received, hinting at the potential for a robust, long-term experience. Fans might see this as a chance for broader character utilization, drawing inspiration from successful models like the Genius Invokation TCG, which regularly captures player enthusiasm.
Natlan’s era in Genshin Impact is marked by enhancements in quality-of-life improvements, refining core gameplay since its inception and offering enhancements to the gacha system. Developers are also expanding the endgame content through continuous updates to the Imaginarium Theater. They’ve enriched Genshin Impact’s landscape with innovative content like the musical mode, and potentially, the strategic fun of Liyue Millennial.
While we await official confirmation from HoYoverse, excitement builds for the introduction of Genshin Impact’s Auto Chess in May 2025. Through these evolutions, the game continues to push the envelope, appealing to new and veteran players alike and ensuring the vast world of Teyvat remains as captivating as ever.
