'Genshin Impact' 2.1 September Release: New Inazuma Playable Characters, Fishing Gameplay, and MORE!

"Genshin Impact" 2.1 is about to arrive this coming September 1. Before the game's new version is released, MiHoYo already provided all the details players could expect from the major enhancement.

The new "Genshin Impact" 2.1 update called the "Floating World Under the Moonlight" would add new content and gameplay to the current Inazuma region.

These include three new playable heroes, as well as a grand finale to the main story.

"Fans and players also have a chance to receive abundant rewards in a series of seasonal events to celebrate Genshin Impact's first anniversary, as well as receive the crossover character Aloy for free," said MiHoYo via its official press release.

On the other hand, the giant game publisher explained that once the Version 2.1 update is released, the main storyline would come to an end.

This means that the story of the Electro Archon, the current factions, the Inazuma people, as well as the Traveler, would no longer be continued.

'Genshin Impact' 2.1's Confirmed Details

MiHoYo explained that in the upcoming "Genshin Impact" 2.1, players can visit the new Watatsumi Island, which offers various dreamlike sceneries. This new area also serves as a home to the resistance forces.

Aside from this, players could also enter Seirai Island, which is the place of desolation shrouded in perpetual storms.

On the other hand, gamers could also encounter the Thunder Manifestation, Trounce Domain Boss Signora, Hydro Hypostasis, and other new in-game bosses.

Meanwhile, the new Version 2.1 would also bring new Inazuma playable characters. These include Sangonomiya Kokomi, Kujour Sara, and Raiden Shogun.

In other news, MiHoYo's "Genshin Impact" collaborated with "Horizon Zero Dawn" to bring Aloy, The Savior From Another World.

Aside from this, the "Genshin Impact" Cross-Save feature could also arrive this coming 2022.

New Fishing Gameplay

Aside from new bosses and playable characters, the new "Genshin Impact" 2.1 also brings the Moonchase Festival, which would require players to reunite with Xiangling and Keqing.

They could also access local foods and recipes and explore Liyue Harbor's ancient tradition festival's origins.

But, one of the most awaited in-game content is the new fishing gameplay. Once this feature arrives, players can catch various kinds of fish across the continent of Teyvat.

Thanks to the fishing gameplay, gamers could produce fish meat, which could be exchanged for exciting in-game rewards.
