Ad astra abyssosque. The popular action role-playing game released version 3.2 last Wednesday (2 November) and it’s breaking records as you read this.
With the new update came the concluding chapter of the Sumeru Archon quest and the new Dendro Hypostasis. However, the update that has been making headlines is the banner, which includes the much-anticipated Dendro Archon, Nahida, and Pyro bow user, Yoimiya.
It was the biggest launch in the game’s history, with a gross revenue of 5.1 million USD within 24 hours of its release, according to GenshinLab. (Note: these number only represent the Chinese iOS market)
In addition, unlike other banners that peak on their days of release, the revenue from this one has been increasing daily. The banner grossed a revenue of 6.3 million USD on its third day.
The revenue from the banner has surpassed that of two-thirds of all other banners that the game has released, as seen here:
Being a long-awaited character, many Genshin players have been saving up their primogems to ensure that they had enough to acquire Nahida when she was released. Thus, resulting in the previous banner performing poorly. Poor Nilou.
Well, at least it seems to be worth it. Players have come out to say that out of the 4 archons that have been released, Nahida is the most powerful. So the saving up and missing Nilou’s banner was definitely worth the most powerful archon in the game.
Have you tried the new update yet? If you haven’t, go pick it up and start wishing for Nahida. Who knows when she will be back on the banner after this one is over. You definitely do not want to miss it.
