Genshin Impact Unveils 5.6 Update and Charlotte Tilbury Collaboration

Genshin Impact is no stranger to bold and imaginative collaborations, but its latest partnership takes things to a whole new level of elegance. Developer miHoYo has officially announced a luxury crossover with the renowned fashion and beauty brand Charlotte Tilbury. This exciting collaboration coincides with the upcoming Version 5.6 update, set to launch on May 7th, bringing a fresh wave of story content, new characters, events, and exclusive in-game items.

What’s New in Genshin Impact Version 5.6?

Version 5.6 introduces players to an all-new Archon Quest interlude chapter, taking you back to the vibrant region of Mondstadt. There, you’ll team up with Albedo for a dramatic storyline that pits you against a mysterious trial—and a full-scale monstrous invasion. Along the way, fan-favorite characters such as Venti, Lady Alice, and Dahlia will make appearances, enriching the lore and emotional depth of the quest.

New Characters Join the Adventure

Two brand-new characters are also arriving with this update. Leading the charge is the five-star **Escoffier**, a culinary-themed character whose name pays homage to the legendary French chef Auguste Escoffier. His abilities bring a unique flair to combat, blending flavor and function in a way only Genshin can.

Joining him is the four-star **Ifa**, a sauro-veterinarian who charges into battle with the help of his loyal saurian companion, Cacucu. Ifa brings both charm and utility to your team, making him a standout addition for both casual and competitive players alike.

A Touch of Glamour – The Charlotte Tilbury Collaboration

Starting April 30th, Genshin Impact fans will have the chance to experience a high-fashion crossover like never before. In partnership with Charlotte Tilbury, two exclusive co-branded beauty boxes will be released, featuring limited-edition Genshin Impact merchandise inspired by the beloved character Mona.

Each box will not only showcase stunning Mona-themed collectibles but will also include some of Charlotte Tilbury’s most popular beauty products. Available in over 35 countries, this collaboration represents a rare and stylish fusion between the gaming and fashion worlds—an elegant celebration of creativity and fandom.
