Genshin Impact has recently received its version 4.1 update. During the same event, HoYoverse MiHoHo teased Genshin Impact 4.2. With the last update, there are two new characters, Neuvilette and Wriothesley, along with new events, quests, and more. The developers have started onboarding players for Genshin Impact 4.2. If you are interested in testing the upcoming version of the game, then in this guide, we will help you with Genshin Impact 4.2 Beta.
Genshin Impact 4.2 Beta Release Date
It was announced on September 15 at the end of the v4.1 announcement—enrollment for the Genshin Impact 4.2 Beta closed on September 20.
Before proceeding, you need to know that you must acknowledge and sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement). This update is rumored to bring the Hydro Archon Furina as a playable character, and there is a high possibility that those who enrolled in the beta test will have the opportunity to witness the gameplay before it becomes available in the public beta or before it is made available to everyone.
According to reports, the archon quest is poised to reach its climax, and the Hydro Archon, Furina, is expected to take the spotlight as the new playable 5-Star character, similar to Nahida’s release. This is likely to be available after the completion of her archon quest. Considering Hydro nature, adding to the excitement is only partially implausible. The concept of the new enemy, Ptakhur, has emerged, and their weapons and elements remain a mystery.
Later on, the inclusion of these character banner reruns underscores its dedication to catering to the desires of its player base. The return of characters from different regions also showcases the game’s ongoing commitment to diversity, allowing players to explore the distinct abilities and backgrounds of characters from various parts of the vast Teyvat universe.
How to Apply for Genshin Impact 4.2 Beta
Before you submit, there are a few prerequisites that you need to know ahead of participating in Genshin Impact 4.2 Beta.
- Age should be above 18 years old.
- Be a member of the Genshin Impact Discord Server.
- Have a valid government ID, Discord username, and game ID, as required during the forum filling process.
You need to fill out the Genshin Impact Beta Forum. To do this, you first require a Discord username, user ID, Genshin UID, full name, and gender. You can proceed even if you still need to clear the spiral abyss, as it is optional. Developers do want to recruit players from diverse backgrounds who can report issues.
After submitting your interest and accepting the NDA, you must keep the testing secret. Developers will update you about the game’s build, features, and known issues. It is important to know that there are strict NDAs that discourage the leak of sensitive information about the patch.
Currently, there is little information available. However, v4.2 is two months away from launch. The chances of getting into the closed beta are usually low, but you can try with the upcoming beta build as developers start pushing it into public beta ahead of the stable release.
