Genshin Impact's content conveyor belt continues today with Version 7.1, titled A Requiem for the Underworld. The update pushes the current storyline forward while introducing Vesna and Vodyanitsa to the playable roster and adding the expected mixture of quests, combat activities, rewards and limited events. At this point HoYoverse has produced enough regions, currencies, banners, combat systems and beautifully dressed people with tragic backstories to populate a moderately prosperous European country, yet the cadence shows little sign of slowing. Version 7.1 is particularly important because it continues the new narrative phase established by the previous major update rather than functioning as one of the game's quieter festival patches. As ever, players should expect the client download to be accompanied by maintenance compensation and a renewed round of Primogem arithmetic as everyone calculates exactly how many wishes stand between them and financial irresponsibility. Genshin's ability to deliver substantial new material on a six-week rhythm remains one of live-service gaming's more impressive production feats, regardless of how one feels about its gacha economics. Today, the Traveller's itinerary gets longer again. Apparently saving one fantasy world requires the organisational skills of an international freight company.
