The Genshin Impact version 2.1 Special Preview Program premiered on August 20, 2021 and revealed upcoming game content that will influence Travelers’ next steps in Inazuma. Version 2.1 will cover the final Act of Chapter II and bring back characters of interest, such as La Signora and Scaramouche.

Genshin Impact version 2.1 will go live on September 1, 2021.

New Islands

Travelers will be able to access Watatsumi Island, which houses the rebel base and the Sangonomiya Shrine. Seirai Island, featuring high Electro concentration and violent storms, will also be introduced.

New Bosses

Genshin Impact version 2.1 will introduce two new world bosses: Thunder Manifestation (Electro Oceanid) and Hydro Hypostasis, along with one new weekly boss: the one and only La Signora.

New Activities: Fishing

Travelers will be able to fish with the new game update. No more diving into the depths to catch fish bare-handed; now you can cast a line and perfect your angling form!

There will be more than three fishing rods to obtain, and the fish you catch with your rod will be added to your Serenitea Pot. A future 2.1 game event, called Lunar Realm, will also be dedicated to fishing.
