As you might expect from the version number, this new update continues the story from Version 4.1 released in March. This time, the focus will be on what’s happening with Phantasmoon Games, and you’ll be working to uncover some major answers.

HoYoverse’s popular space fantasy RPG has gained a huge and dedicated fanbase thanks to its strong storytelling and beautiful visuals.
