Of all my memories of Genshin Impact over the past year, my fondest ones come from the Windtrace Event. I laughed. I yelled. I experienced the true emotional highs and lows of hide and seek.
The Windtrace event had one player take the hunter role, while the others hid around the map, disguised as various objects. Much hilarity ensued. I mean, zooming around as a lantern will always be funny to me, but that was only the tip of the iceberg. Does anyone remember the Albedo who blended in with the maids at Diluc’s winery?
Or people abusing Mona’s alternate sprint to both hide and catch others?
Well – the beloved Windtrace event is coming back!
"Windtrace" Event: Compete and Earn Primogems
During the event period, Travelers can take part in a game of Windtrace at Gygax's, and obtain Windtrace Coins to receive rewards such as Primogems, Talent Level-Up Materials, Character EXP Materials, and Mora.#GenshinImpact pic.twitter.com/g8kF5WOyal

Not only that, but with new maps to play with as well.
In order to recruit more people to play Windtrace, Gygax has added several new maps this time around. Windtrace, the classic game that hands down Mondstadt's history, is once again being held!

I do have some devastating news though. You will no longer be able to abuse alternate sprints in the event. This is truly saddening to me, who never had Mona in the first run of the event, but since obtained Ayaka – who has her own alternate sprint.
However, even without Mona or Ayaka to hide in the ground with – I WILL crush all my friends in this event.
Speaking of, you’ll be able to play with friends by entering co-op mode together, or you can enjoy the game by matching with randos. Either way, you’re bound to have a good time. I’m going to bring the audacious Arataki Itto to hide with – I think that would be funny.
The event will run from January 13th at 10 am (tomorrow!) to Server reset time on January 27th. Good luck, and if you happen to come across me in one of these events – start running.
