Developer miHoYo has officially announced the Genshin Impact Version 2.1 release date as September 1 which means we should be expecting new content for the game and some new gameplay mechanics as well as three new Inazuma native characters namely Raiden Shogun aka Baal, Kokomi and Kujou Sara.

The new update will also bring in two more major islands for the land of Inazuma and the grand finale for the main story involving the Traveler against the Electro Archon Baal / Raiden Shogun.

With the final chapter of the Archon Quest in Inazuma, players will soon be able to check Watatsumi Island and Seirai Island. Watatsumi Island is the home of the resistance forces, the people who want to take down the Electro Archon down a peg

Seirai Island is the home of the perpetual storms, something that made Inazuma such an interesting place before Genshin Impact version 2.0 was released.

Outside Inazuma, the Moonchase Festival is coming in the following season. This is a time when friends and families in Liyue gather around, make a toast, and enjoy local delicacies every autumn. During the festival, players will reunite with Keqing and Xiangling, cooking and tasting local foods and recipes, and explore the origins of this ancient traditional festival in Liyue Harbor. Those who’re fond of treasures will be glad to embark on a big treasure hunt across Liyue, Mondstadt, and Dragonspine in the Moonlight Seeker event. By participating, players can get rewards and exchange for useful resources, including the new four-star claymore Luxurious Sea-Lord to max refinement. In addition, players may also claim in-game rewards and up to 10 Intertwined Fate in the new daily login event.

Fishing will also be introduced with Version 2.1. Players can soon go angling for a variety of fishes across the continent of Teyvat, and they can be used to produce fish meat, or exchanged for rewards and new fishing rods from the Fishing Association. With the Pool of Sapphire Grace, a new furnishing added to the Serenitea Pot system, players can also raise Ornamental Fish in their personal realm.
