Genshin Impact 3.0 update is not like the others that were released in 2022. This is a major content addition that is set to release a brand new region called Sumeru.

Along with Sumeru, players will also get access to the Dendro element for the first time, which is massive as well. There will be new characters such as Tighnari and Collei, and two new artifact sets that gamers will have to grind for.

Apart from that, they will also get access to several quality-of-life changes, especially the latest additions to the artifact strongbox. All the major artifact sets will be added and players who are still looking to further strengthen their character can use this new strongbox by discarding their bad artifacts.

However, the fun does not end here as along with the 3.0 update, players will get a brand new Archon quest (and several associated story quests) that will help them get a lot more insight into not just Sumeru, but the overarching story of Genshin Impact. The trailers that were released about Sumeru showcased a lot of mystery and dangers.

This is a region that takes the lore to a whole new level as the involvement of the Fatui and the connection between the Archons and Celestia will become a lot clearer. Therefore, players will be eager to jump into the update as soon as it becomes available.
