Genshin Impact 1.1 Adds Characters, Launches Event

Authore: OwenUpdate:Jan 05,2026

Just a few weeks after Ash Echoes launched globally on Android and iOS, Noctua Games' hit gacha RPG is rolling out its first major content update.

Version 1.1 is titled "Tomorrow is a Blooming Day," though, in a clever twist, the update actually arrived last Thursday, marking the start of the "Blooming Day" event, which runs until December 26th.

Before diving into the new event details, here's a quick recap for those just getting started.

Ash Echoes is an interdimensional RPG featuring gacha mechanics and real-time combat.

The story unfolds in the year 1116 after a massive, ominous rift known as the Skyrift Passage appears over northern Hailin City. This event unleashes widespread devastation and opens gateways to other realms.

Emerging from this chaos are the Echomancers—mysterious superbeings with newfound powers.

You play as the director of S.E.E.D., an organization established to investigate these Echomancers. Your role involves summoning them and leading them into visually stunning, tactically rich battles that shape the game's narrative.

Now that you're up to speed, let's explore what "Tomorrow Is a Blooming Day" offers.

Ash Echoes already boasts a diverse roster of powerful, beautifully animated Echomancers. Version 1.1 expands this with two new 6-star characters, each with unique abilities and deep personal stories.

Meet Scarlett, a fierce femme fatale in crimson pirate gear who rides a motorcycle and wields a shotgun, and Baili Tusu, a noble warrior skilled with a sword.

To recruit Scarlett, simply log in and pull from the "Target Tracing" Scarlett Memory Trace banner, which includes her powerful Trace Awakening Skill. This banner is available until December 26th. Starting December 12th, you can also attempt to summon Baili Tusu.

A new limited-time event called Float Parade has also arrived. In it, Scarlett and Baili Tusu drive parade floats, collecting gifts and completing tasks to earn exclusive furniture and special character interactions.
