Everything About Genshin Impact 2.1 Update
Looking for the release date of the Genshin Impact 2.1 update? With the release of Genshin Impact 2.0, we've arrived at Inazuma, where there's lots of new content to discover and new Genshin Impact characters to meet. Several significant NPCs established as part of the 2.0 narrative are not yet playable; however, rumor has it that they will be in the next release.
Even Inazuma has more mysteries to explore - we only had access to three of Inazuma's six islands in 2.0, so as the Raiden Shogun tale progresses, we anticipate to visit a few more sites in 2.1.
The Genshin Impact 2.1 beta is now out, and as is customary, there have been a few leaks on forthcoming features, in addition to information fans have datamined from the game's files. Of course, none of this is verified, and there's still a lot we don't know - but here's everything we've heard about the Genshin Impact 2.1 update so far.
