What to expect from Genshin Impact version 2.5?
Based on leaks, many players were assuming that the 2.5 update won't be too important as it will only introduce a new five-star character (Yae Miko). However, the 2.5 Special Program surprised the community with a ton of announcements.
Three new events are coming to miHoYo's action RPG in version 2.5, which includes an unique exploration-based event for Enkanomiya. Another event called Divine Ingenuity will allow players to create their own domains and publish them for others to try.
Raiden Shogun will also arrive as a terrifying boss that has anti-shield and time-stopping abilities. Shadowy Husks will be a new enemy type in the Spiral Abyss, and they are a nightmare for shield characters as well.
All in all, patch 2.5 seems exciting, and players only have a few days to unlock Ganyu or Zhongli through their rerun banners.
