A new floating companion device that appears to be an unrelated cousin of Endora will be included in the Genshin Impact version 3.6 update. For those who don’t know, Endora was given out as part of the Wishful Drops event way back in version 1.4 and is essentially a miniature replica of the Oceanid world monster in Genshin Impact. Another comparable gadget pal is reportedly coming in the anime game’s upcoming update, according to recent reports.
HoYoverse is again expanding the Sumeru map by adding a whole new section of the desert. The expansion seems to be tied to a new quest, which is how you’ll be able to add this new companion to your growing list of gadgets.
If the leaked info is correct, you’ll need to be at least Adventure Rank 20 to start the quest, and it can’t be skipped with the quick start function that appears for limited-time events. So, this is likely a thinly-disguised way for HoYoverse to get players to explore the new desert area.
It looks as though you won’t need to fully complete the quest to get the gadget, but doing so will net you Primogems, level-up books, and ascension materials.
The leak comes from vississ on Twitter, who also shared an image of the event menu for Genshin Impact version 3.6. In it, you can see that the pink companion looks a bit like a Pyro version of Endora, who is pictured below:

If the process of obtaining the new gadget is anything like Endora’s Wishful Drops event, you’ll first need to use the gadget in some sort of activity before it becomes a permanent companion option.
