1) New Region: Inazuma
Of course, the star of the Genshin Impact 2.0 update is the new region, Inazuma. There will be three new areas available: Narukami Island, Kannazuka, and Yashiori Island.
To unlock this region, players have to be Adventure Rank 30 or above and have completed the Archon Quest "Chapter II: Act I - The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia."
With a new region, there will also be a new Statue of the Seven. As usual, gamers can collect Electroculus throughout Inazuma. These items can then be offered to the Statue of the Seven for various rewards.
2) Sacred Sakura Tree
The Sacred Sakura Tree will require players to offer Electro Sigils to raise the Sacred Sakura's Favor Level.
In return, players will gain various rewards. Moreover, for specific levels, they will also upgrade their Electrogranum's level, thus enhancing their Electrogana's abilities.

Electrogana spawns from Thunder Sakura Boughs and has various uses. They will protect players from dangerous areas with high Electro concentration and allow them to pass through some Electro barriers.
4) Inazuma Reputation System
Just like Genshin Impact's other two regions, Inazuma will also have a reputation system. Obtaining a certain reputation level will grant users a corresponding reward.
5) Expeditions
Of course, there will also be an Adventurer's Guild in Inazuma. Therefore, Genshin Impact players will be able to send their characters to expeditions in the region.
6) Daily Commissions
In addition to the new Daily Commissions, Genshin Impact 2.0 will bring a new feature where players can choose which region the next day's Daily Commissions will be in.
7) Thunder Barriers
Thunder Barriers are barriers that gamers can penetrate if they carry an Electrogana with them. There will be different levels of Thunder Barriers.
