miHoYo has just announced that the Version 2.2 update of Genshin Impact titled Into the Perilous Labyrinth of Fog. The new version is scheduled to arrive on October 13, 2021.
The update will introduce the last of the six major islands of Inazuma, a new playable character Thoma, and a series of new challenges and mini-games. Meanwhile, players who have not claimed “Savior From Another World” Aloy will be able to receive the five-star crossover character for free.
Tsurumi Island, the last major island of Inazumi, is shrouded in dense fog and you can get lost and encounter challenges while exploring the area.
The Rifthounds and Rifthound Whelps are dangerous stealthy beasts lurking in the fog. When an attack hits a character all party members will be affected by the Corrosion status and continually lose HP regardless if they’re shielded or not.
Additionally, Tsurumi Island appears to be the focus of recent research by a scholar from Sumeru. During the Shadow of the Ancients event, you’ll have to accomplish investigation commissions across Monstadt, Liyue, and Inazumi to defeat an Anomalous Model Ruin Grader.
Thoma, the popular fixer who made his debut in the Inazuma storyline, will be joining as a new four-star playable character. He holds a Pyro Vision and wields a polearm as his weapon. As a teammate, he provides strong defense and buffs. You can recruit him in the second Event Wish featuring Thoma and Hu Tao after Childe’s return in the first Event Wish. Hangout Events for Thoma and Sayu will also be available with Version 2.2.
Additionally, Version 2.2 introduces optimizations that will also be added to the current gameplay and DualSense Controller support will be available on the PC-version for the first time.
More features are added to the Serenitea Pot. Some of these include an Inazuma-themed realm layout Silken Courtyard, more Inazuma-style Furnishing Blueprints, a new Floating Platform furnishing type, and flowers that can be used as furnishings from the limited-time Dreams of Bloom.
Genshin Impact’s Version 2.2 update will be arriving on October 13, 2021. You can now continue your progress across PlayStation, PC, and mobile with the cross-save function.
Download the game on PS4 and PS5 from the PlayStation Store, on the Google Play Store, on the App Store, and on PC from the Epic Game Store or the Genshin Impact official website.
