Sumeru Could Be Genshin Impact's Largest Region Yet

Reputable Genshin Impact leaker BLANK shared an image of Genshin Impact ’s existing map, with highlighted areas representing the new explorable areas arriving in version 3.0. The region south of the Chasm is expected to be Sumeru, a lush, rainforest-filled region home to unknown Dendro enemies. When visiting Sumeru for the first time, it's rumored that the Traveler will be accompanied by a Sumeru character in Genshin Impact , who will aid the Traveler in navigating the new reg

Alongside Sumeru and the Dendro element, leaks suggest that new artifacts in Genshin Impact 3.0 will shake up the action RPG's gameplay too. One leaked set, called Memories of the Deep Forest, significantly boosts the effectiveness of Dendro in battle. The two-piece set bonus can give a character a 15% Dendro damage bonus, while the four-piece bonus reduces an enemy's Dendro resistance by 25% after taking elemental damage for eight seconds. The second leaked Genshin Impact artifact set, Ornamental Gold Dream, increases a character's Elemental Mastery by 80 when two pieces are equipped. The four-piece bonus, meanwhile, has various effects depending on a party's lin

All but one of Sumeru's leaked playable characters are light-skinned, including the Dendro nation's Archon, Kusanali, whose fairy-like appearance bears an uncanny resemblance to the Traveler's companion in Genshin Impact , Paimon . Dehya, an allegedly upcoming 4-star Pyro character, appears to be the only darker-skinned character arriving with Sumeru. Many Genshin Impact players expressed their disappointment at HoYoverse's decision to make Sumeru's characters light-skin

Each Genshin Impact update gives players new quests to tackle and new characters to acquire, but some releases are much larger than others. Back in July 2021 Version 2.0 introduced the tropical archipelago Inazuma, for example, which came along with the Electro element and a host of new playable characters. Version 3.0 is shaping up to be of a similar size, if not bigger, expanding Genshin Impact into the ominous Sumeru region and introducing its associated Dendro element. New heroes Tighnari and Collei will wield this exciting new element, which is based on plants and nature. Rumors also suggest that Sumeru will be bigger in size than any past Genshin Impact regions, surpassing even Inaz

The map shared by BLANK also showed a second highlighted region in the most Northeastern corner of Teyvat, however, it's unknown whether this will be part of Sumeru too. Some Genshin Impact players responded to the leak by pointing out that this region was previously believed to be the location of the Haar Islands, now known as the Golden Apple Archipelago. The Golden Apple Archipelago is a set of islands featured in a limited-time event during version 1.6. During the event, the Dodo-King invited Klee to the islands, accompanied by numerous other Genshin Impact playable characters. Since the limited-time event, the Golden Apple Archipelago in Genshin Impact remains inaccessible, however, it seems like this could change in version

Throughout the Golden Apple Archipelago, players will be able to find Phantasmal Conches, which are blue shells scattered around the map. Collecting these will give the player a glimpse into the lore of the Archipelago but can also be used in the Summertime Odyssey Event Shop to purchase Fischl's new skin. The new outfit keeps Fischl's classic purple color scheme but adds an edgy yet elegant flair with a new spiky headpiece, royal puffed sleeves, and a ruffled blouse above her corset in Genshin Impa

This isn't the first time Genshin Impact has been embroiled in a whitewashing controversy. Out of Genshin Impact 's fifty playable characters, only two have darker skin. Kaeya, one of these two characters, has appeared whitewashed in-game and in promotional materials for Genshin Impact . A description of Kaeya in Genshin Impact referring to his " somewhat exotic appearance " was patched out of the game after drawing criticism. The lack of BIPOC representation in the popular game has often been excused by the current explorable regions being based on European and Southeast Asian countries. Unintentionally, this excuse highlights how Genshin Impact fails to represent the multitude of various groups in China and Japan, on which Liyue and Inazuma are ba

Players will be able to obtain Fischl and her new outfit for free until the end of Genshin Impact Version 2.8, Wuthering Waves crafting guide|Https://wutheringwavescentral.com/ approximately around August 24. Many players believe that Version 3.0 and the release of the new region Sumeru will follow Genshin Impact 's 2.8 update , so players should make sure to finish all the new Story Quests they can participate in preparation for the new region's rele

An apparent **Genshin Impact ** Version 3.0 leak reveals the Dendro element's reactions with other in-game elements. The upcoming update for HoYoverse's action RPG is expected to be truly enormous, with the new version bringing with it a new region called Sumeru, new playable characters and a brand-new set of elemental abilities. Genshin Impact characters Collei, Dori, and Tighnari have been officially confirmed for 3.0, but even more new features have apparently been revealed via le
