Genshin Impact’s newest big update is now live on all platforms, adding two new islands to the Inazuma region and new domains. New characters have also been added with the Raiden Shogun, Sangonomiya Kokomi and Kujou Sara but all PS4/PS5 players can receive Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn for free. For a closer look at what the Raiden Shogun is capable of, check out the latest Collected Miscellany video below.
A new Trounce Domain “Narukami Island: Tenshukaku” has been added where it seems the player will duel with the Raiden Shogun one more time. There’s also “Palace in a Pool” on Watatsumi Island. Among other new content added is fishing with numerous new fish species, treasures and rewards to discover. Of course, you’ll also face off against Signora who can switch between Cryo and Pyro Visions.
