Genshin Impactdeveloper miHoYo just made a pretty big mistake triggering a peculiar Lantern Rite gifts bug, but players are actually grateful for what happened.
On February 9, miHoYo started distributing new “Flowing Lights and Colors” rewards inGenshin Impact, gifts to celebrate the in-game Lantern Rite Event, which is about to end soon. The rewards were sent via in-game mails as always, and players can redeem the rewards through the Paimon Menu.
However, some of the players got the mail twice, which allowed them to get double the amount of rewards.
miHoYo distributes free Intertwined Fates to all players following Lantern Rite gift bug
To solve the issue, miHoYo decided everyone will be partaking in the bug, and in order to even the score, all players are now getting double the rewards. The gift most notably included Intertwined Fates, which are necessary to pull on time-limited banners, with Ganyu and Zhongli currently having reruns.
Over on Twitter, Paimon via herofficial accountalso apologized for the mistake, but all players are incredibly grateful the incident happened in the first place.
you’re able to redeem the rewards starting midnight February 9 server time, until the end of Version 2.4 on February 16. Those who were initially affected by the bug and already got double the gifts won’t get additional rewards.
Genshin Impactwill be adding Hydro and Sword husbando Kamisato Ayatoas a playable character in Version 2.6coming on June 20, 2025. But before that, Yae Miko will become playable with Version 2.5 on February 16. The Beta for 2.6 should start in late February as well, so we’ll soon get the first real details on Ayato’s gameplay kit.
What are your thoughts on Ayato and Yae, and who are you planning to pull? Are you going to swipe to get them? Tell me in the comments below!
