Sunday October 3, 2021, MiHoYo had made an appointment with players for its traditional live update. After a 2.0 particularly rich in content, and an anniversary deemed disappointing, the Chinese studio has lifted the veil on the new ingame, but also on the next character banners. The opportunity also to announce the increase in the bag of artifacts, whose storage capacity goes from 1000 to 1500, as well as a collaboration with the Razer brand.
Ultimate island for the Eternal region
Without doubt one of the most important announcements of this live, 2.2 will mark the arrival of a sixth and final island for the Inazuma region, Tsurumi's. It will bring with it new mobs, as well as several new open-world challenges.
Obviously, when you say new update, you say new events. The Labyrinth of Warriors will be an opportunity to stock up on rewards, with a more complex dungeon than usual, which will have several rooms as well as random enemies. 4 Xinyan stars will be awarded to those who complete the challenge. The Shadow of the Ancients event will ask you to collect information about the One-Eye, while a new musical instrument will come to animate the Tuned to the World Sound event.
In the Teapot, an event will allow you to grow flowers to decorate your kingdom, while the Sacred Cherry tree level 40 will allow you to unlock a new playground inside the teapot.
Thoma, Hu Tao and Tartaglia
In addition to the traditional codes for obtaining primo-gems valid for 24 hours, MiHoYo should allow players to save their summons in the coming weeks. The Chinese studio has indeed confirmed the rerun of two five-star characters, namely Tartaglia and Hu Tao. The two characters will be accompanied by a new kid, since it is Thoma who has made his official arrival on the game's roster. Discovered during the Inazuma story quests, the 4-star pyro lancer will now be playable ingame.
Present on the Moment of Bloom banner alongside Hu Tao, Thoma will be able to summon shields, and allow characters on the ground to benefit from bonus pyro damage. If we still do not know which 4-star characters will complete the banner of Tartaglia, this is the second time that the hydro character is entitled to its rerun. The opportunity for the latecomers to finally get their hands on Childe and the owner of the funeral home Wangsheng, or for the more patient to wait for the next more exciting banners.
Four new weapons will also be added in 2.2. No specific date has yet been confirmed, but it will be the 5-star Polar Star bow, as well as three 4-star weapons: Wavebreaker's Fin (spear), Akuoumaru (sword), and Mouun's Moon (bow). Two new story escapades around Thoma and Sayu will finally be available. The opportunity for players to complete their exploration of Inazuma in Genshin Impact.
