Genshin Impact Spiral Abyss artifact rewards are changing next update

The Spiral Abyss in Genshin Impact is widely known to players as the endgame content, possessing some of the hardest fights available in the game. To incentivize players for their efforts in clearing these tumultuous battles, players get a first-time clear reward and then extra rewards for completing the Abyss in a certain amount of time. These rewards often include Primogems, Mora, and some dedicated Artifacts. However, HoYoverse is changing the rewards you’ll get in the Version 2.6 update.

Don’t worry, you’ll still receive the same amount of Primogems and Mora as usual — HoYoverse isn’t touching that. Instead, players will earn some new Artifacts for clearing each floor, rather than the usual Artifacts they normally get. Players would typically earn either a Gladiator’s Finale artifact which boosted Attack, or the Wanderer’s Troupe set which boosted Elemental Mastery.

These artifacts will be replaced by the Vermillion Hereafter set and the Echoes of an Offering set. The new Abyss rewards will also ring in an updated Abyss cycle, featuring new enemies and challenges, and allow players the chance to recruit the 5-star characters Venti and Kamisato Ayato. News of these different rewards and challenges were detailed in the Genshin Impact update summary of Version 2.6, which is due for release on March 30.
