Recent leaks hint at an exciting addition to Genshin Impact: a permanent Auto Chess mode, potentially arriving in Version 5.6.  While Genshin Impact's core gameplay revolves around team-building and open-world exploration, developer HoYoverse has consistently introduced alternative game modes, such as the Genius Invokation TCG and the Serenitea Pot.  The recent addition of the Repertoire of Myriad Melodies, a rhythm game, further exemplifies this trend.

The rumored Auto Chess mode represents a logical progression for Genshin Impact, providing a new avenue to engage with its extensive character roster. Leaked information suggests Version 5.6, expected on May 7, 2025, will introduce this strategic game mode, featuring both PvP and PvE elements, along with a progression system encompassing currency, equipment, artifacts, and talents.

While the exact integration of Auto Chess into Genshin Impact's core gameplay remains unclear, it is likely to exist as a separate entity, similar to the Genius Invokation TCG.

Although unconfirmed by HoYoverse, the Auto Chess mode may revolve around Liyue Millennial, the in-game board game created by Ningguang.  Previous iterations of Auto Chess have appeared in limited-time events, with positive reception from players.  Given the limited scope of past events, a permanent Auto Chess mode likely offers long-term progression, mirroring the Genius Invokation TCG.

The Natlan era of Genshin Impact has been marked by numerous quality-of-life improvements, enhancing core gameplay and even making adjustments to the gacha system.  The continuous expansion of endgame content through the Imaginarium Theater further enriches the experience.  The introduction of the Repertoire of Myriad Melodies and potentially Liyue Millennial strengthens Genshin Impact's diverse gameplay offerings.
