The Genshin Impact update will introduce Hangout Events to the game. It's basically a dating minigame where players can join in on story-driven quests with various dialog options that lead to different results depending on your choices. The idea is essentially to give players different kinds of endings depending on their input.

In this minigame, players can access how well they are doing by taking a look at the heartbeat monitor.

The said heartbeat monitor will indicate if your date is having fun or not. However, just to be clear, these dates are less of the romantic type. Rather, the conversations seem to revolve more around friendships and platonic relationships.

With that said, once you complete a hangout, you'll receive rewards like Hangout Memories and others.

Using this new mechanic, any player will have a chance to date any other essential character in the game. This includes four-star characters like Chongyun, Noelle, Barbara, and Benett. However, to unlock the event, you'll need to at least be Adventure Rank 26.
