Dragonspine was added in the 1.2 Update, and judging by the revealed information it was available from the update release December 23. On the revealed images you can see new Materials, Treasure Chests and Seelies.
Inhabiting this new area is a group of new Cryo versions of well know enemies, as well as a new Ruin type of monster.
Dragonspine introduced a new temperature feature, shown by a gauge above the HP bar. If the gauge falls to zero and your stick around for too long, your HP will start decreasing. Items that kept players warm were added as well, so there are ways to fight the cold!

The above order is the order they were announced in the video, with The Chalk Prince and the Dragon started on December 23rd.
A new 4 part event is set for Genshin Impact version 1.2. This event run similar to Unreconciled Stars granting players an abundance of rewards for completing missions and event tasks, including another Crown of Insight.
For event completion, reward players were able to obtain a free 4 Star Sword, Festering Desire.
In this new event, players scoured Tevat for various treasures and riches by digging up mysterious spots and completing various challenges.
Treasure Locations |
Players can travel to a number of different locations across Teyvat and pick up a set number of treasures by using the treasure hunting Seelie. These treasure can be exchanged for up to Materials, Mora, up to 300 Primogems and more!
The unique reward for this event appears to be a pet Seelie in 3 different colors that followed the player similar to Paimon.
An event centered on fighting the Electro, Geo and Anemo Hypostasis is also set for version 1.2. However, these Hypostasis are not your everday farmable field boss. It featured new abilities and mechanics in order to provide unique challenges to players as well as Talent Level-up Materials as rewards.
The merchant Liben returns along with another Marvelous Merchandise Event. Be sure to collet plenty of materials because who knows what Liben will request this time!
This event rewarded players with a new 4 Star Catalyst Weapon, Frostbearer, a new glider skin, a Crown of Insight and even Aquainted and Intertwined Fate.
Acquaint Fate | |
Ascension Level | 20, 50, 70 |
---|
From Version 1.2 onward, you will gain Acquaint Fate from ascending your characters, great news for players who wishing to pull more from the banners in Genshin Impact. As you probably know, Acquaint Fate can be used in the Wandlerlust Invocation and Noelle starter banners.
You will gain Fate from ascending characters at level 20, 50, and 70, and you will get Fate for characters you ascended before the update as well.
Wanderlust Invocation Wish Info
Domain and Ley Line rewards are automatically added to your inventory from 1.2 as well, a rather welcome quality of life improvement!
You will, of course, still have to use Resin to claim them, but at least the trouble ends there.
Have you ever wished you could just continue your grind groove without having to re-enter Domains? Well, your prayers have been heard! From 1.2 you'll be able to challenge a Domain again without leaving it or reforming a party.

Two changes were made to Co-op play in version 1.2, and the first is that players leaving Co-op no longer interrupts gameplay for the remaining party members.
The second change is that the Host are able to disband the Co-op Team simply by returning to Single Player Mode.
At the moment you can only get navigation help for Quest markers, but apparently soon the developers will make it possible to get navigation for your placed custom pins as well. Only one at a time, but still a great help.
It wasn't explicitly said that this feature will be in the 1.2 update, but we hope so!
A private chat function is set to be imlemented in Version 1.2 that allows you to chat with friends via the Friend screen or a shortcut. You can send them messages even if they are online, so we imagine this will come in handy for all the social players out there!
If your friends tend to change their nickname often and you're finding it hard to remember who is who, you can give them your own nickname after the 1.2 update. Only you can see it, but we still suggest keeping it family friendly!
One of the last features announced is the option to auto play dialogue in cutscenes. When auto-play is selected, dialogue will automatically progress once the current line's audio finishes playing. If any dialogue options appear, auto-play will pause to allow you to respond, then continue automatically again after.
In addition to the dialogue improvements, you'll also become able to watch the dialogue of completed Archon and Story quests from the Archive menu, in a Travel Log section.
