Mihoyo revealed the event details on the Genshin Impact official website

Speaking about the events and everything that fans can look out for, Mihoyo posted an update about the upcoming ‘Gliding Challenge’, which is going to take place from December 4 to 12. It will consist of time trial challenges that the players will have to finish to earn rewards.

Players who have an adventure rank of 20 and have completed Hughes ‘fly high’ quest will be the only ones who can take part in the said challenge.

The event will introduce new gliding techniques that would allow the players to sprint and ascend. These techniques will be exclusive to the event, essentially allowing the players to fly, which could serve as an amazing addition to the game in general too. Through the course of seven days, one gliding time trial will be unlocked each day. Players will find an icon on the map that will serve as the starting point for the event.

Completing the event quickly will allow the players to earn insignia. This could serve as the event currency similar to the previous event that also had a shop of its own. Players can attempt this challenge as many times as they want to, as the event will only record the best timing.
