The 3.6 livestream, titled Back to Earth in Evernight, dropped on September 12, 2025 and HoYoverse unveiled a ton of new content that both longtime players and newcomers should be excited for. Here’s what stood out, what’s coming, and what you need to prep for.

What We Learned: Characters, Banners, and Release Date

• Two new 5-star units were revealed: Evernight (an Ice Remembrance DPS) and Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae (a Physical support on the Preservation Path).
• Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae is going to be free for all players starting October 15, 2025, through the end of version 4.0.
• The global release date for version 3.6 is September 24, 2025.

Banner Phases and Light Cones

• Phase 1 features Evernight and The Herta as the 5-star picks, with 4-star characters like Misha, Guinaifen, and Xueyi.
• Phase 2 brings Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae and Anaxa as the 5-stars, and on the 4-star side Sushang, Hanya, and Serval.
• New Light Cones include To Evernight’s Stars (Remembrance Path) and Though Worlds Apart (Preservation Path).

New Features, Events, and Modes

• Trailblaze Mission: Back to Earth in Evernight will unlock new maps like Radiant Scarwood Grove of Epiphany and Universal Matrix, deepening the lore in Amphoreus.
• Events include flagship Nice Weather of Dromases, Colorful Mayhem, Try-Not-to-Laugh Challenge, Planar Fissure (relic drop rate boosted briefly), and Gift of Odyssey (a seven-day login event with rewards).
• A new high-difficulty mode, Anomaly Arbitration, is arriving. It has three trial stages followed by a final boss level, and rewards include a brand new Interference Key that lets you lock relic substats.

QoL Improvements and Utility Additions

• A Character Guide interface will now show trace leveling progression, recommended Light Cones, and build suggestions from the character screen.
• A Recommended Line-Up Hint feature lets you see team composition suggestions based on the characters you own.
• There’s a Story Recap function so you can replay missions or cutscenes, picking specific segments. Great if you missed earlier content or want to revisit key moments.
• Journey Highlights will allow better tracking of both ongoing and upcoming events, including their rewards, so you know what to aim for.
