Genshin Impact developer miHoYo recently livestreamed an overview of the Inazuma content that will be added to the game in the 2.0 update, releasing at the end of July. The region will feature its own story to continue the game's main questline, and expand the map far beyond its current borders. New characters, enemies, and stories will only continue to enhance Genshin Impact's gameplay experience, and add to the activities currently available in the world.
In addition to expanding the map, Inazuma introduces a new storyline focused on the isolationist nation. The citizens of the new region are having their Visions confiscated, and a Resistance is ri to oppose the Inazuman government (and by extension, the Archon Baal). Genshin Impact's Inazuma region brings new threats for Travelers to face in combat during these rising tensions. These creatures and foes will be utilizing tactics unseen before in the game, and players will certainly have their work cut out for them.
While the new opponents revealed in miHoYo's Genshin Impact 2.0 update are a brand new addition to the game, some of them bear a familiar design to existing enemy types. One of the new creatures are called Ruin Sentinels, which are a mechanical enemy that have an apparent relation to the existing Ruin Guard elite enemy type. Ruin Sentinels come in several different forms that resemble different creatures (such as a coiled snake, a lumbering beetle, and a floating jellyfish). miHoYo confirmed that each of these Ruin Sentinel types will feature their own fighting styles, providing new challenges to Travelers each time they are encountered in the wilds of Inazuma.
Genshin Impact's Inazuma Brings New Threats To The Game
Genshin Impact's Inazuma region will also supply a new set of Inazuman human enemies for Travelers and their companions to face in combat. Scattered throughout the Inazuman wilderness are bands of ronin who have turned to a bandit lifestyle in order to survive. Bearing samurai-styled armor with colors that likely reflect their elemental damage types, these hostile opponents will battle Travelers with their deadly blades and abilities. Inazuma will also feature some traces of the Fatui, one of the main antagonist factions within Genshin Impact. A new agent will be ing the Fatui's arsenal in the form of the Mirror Maiden. Mirror Maidens will use their illusion-based attacks and "enchanting beauty" to misdirect and deceive their enemies.
Genshin Impact's new update is also introducing a new Hypostasis enemy in the form of the Pyro Hypostasis. The Pyro Hypostasis appears as a floating cube with a glowing orb of energy in the middle. They dominate their opponents with fiery attacks and quick, erratic movements. ing the fiery enemy is a mysterious mechanical opponent known only as the Perpetual Mechanical Array. This enemy will have the ability to transform into different forms during its combat against the Travelers and their companions. It is currently unknown what alternative forms the Array will have, but it is sure to offer a new challenge for experienced and new players alike. The Maguu Kenki boss fight will also be returning in Genshin Impact's Inazuma from the 1.6 update, and will spawn in fixed locations throughout the region as a replayable boss.
The Inazuma update for Genshin Impact has revealed tons of new features that will soon be entering the game. Players can look forward to a slew of new challenges in the region of Inazuma, of both monstrous and human natures. These creatures will certainly contribute to making the region an interesting experience. miHoYo itted that the opponents revealed were not the only new monsters that would be featured in Inazuma, and that Genshin Impact's world would only continue to expand in the future.
