What’s New in Genshin Impact 2.1

Inazuma was added in the last update, but only three of the six islands of the new nation were made available at the time. Genshin Impact 2.1 is bringing us Watatsumi Island and Seirai Island to bring the total up to five.

Watatsumi Island is the home of one of the new playable characters, Sangonomiya Kokomi. It also houses Kokomi’s resistance army as well as the Sangonomiya Shrine.

These new Inazuma islands will be added to the west and the south of the existing ones. But they seem to be a bit further out than the rest, so it’ll be interesting to see how exactly players will reach Watatsumi and Seirai.
