Genshin Impact review bombed in China after underwhelming Lantern Rite event rewards reveal
Genshin Impact's Chinese social media followers plummet and get review bombed after underwhelming Lantern Rite rewards …
Genshin Impact has been review bombed and its official Douyin (TikTok) account has lost nearly 1m followers after the recent version 4.4 livestream announced that three only dollops of Intertwined Fate material will be gifted to players during the game's Lantern Rite event. Watch on YouTube Although 2024's rewards are not too much different from previous Lantern Rites, the frustration from Chinese Genshin Impact fans this year seems to stem from the lacklustre Lantern Rite rewards on top of the recent announcement that a free character skin selector is only available when purchasing a new PS5, while developer HoYoverse's other mainline game, Honkai: Star Rail, gifted a free five-star character for simply logging into the game. All this drama might be familiar to longtime Genshin Impact fans, as similar criticism was made from players around the globe after the reveal of the game's first anniversary rewards were deemed underwhelming.
