If there is one thing that all Genshin Impact fans can count on coming back to year after year is the Lantern Rite Festival. This event is quite iconic for the gacha game because of everything involved. As you might know, Genshin Impact is a Chinese game, and Liyue is a nation based in China.

With many rewards, free characters, and free skin, there is a lot to look forward to. So, if you want to plan your time when participating in the event, our guide for the Lantern Rite Festival of 2023 in Genshin Impact has it all covered.

If you watched the latest Special Program for Genshin Impact’s 3.4 version, you might already know that two new skins are coming. Last year’s Lantern Rite Festival gave us one skin for free while the other was for sale only. This time we can expect the same. Lisa’s skin will be free for those participating in the event, while Ayaka’s will be available in the store. The latter will be on sale because it is a 5-star skin, and that’s how Genshin Impact has handled them before.
