This is the most significant update in Genshin Impact so far. The new Inazuma region will have some new progression systems like the Sacred Sakura and the new Reputation System.

Six new domains and two new artifact sets also come with the update. As per the Genshin Impact 2.0 live stream, the Inazuma region will be infused with the Electro element, which may cause adverse effects on characters. So, players should always make sure to have an "Electrogranum" beside them.

New Inazuma-specific enemies such as Samurais and Pyro Hypostasis will also be introduced with the 2.0 update. And not to forget the new 5-star character, Kamisato Ayaka, whose banner will be immediately available after the update's release.

After the 2.0 update is released, Genshin Impact players will get a compensation of 300 Primogems for the server downtime. If the maintenance exceeds 5 hours, an additional 60 Primogems per hour will be rewarded. So players should make sure to collect those rewards from the "Mail" section within the game.
