Genshin Impact Ver 2.2 'Into the Perilous Labyrinth of Fog' Launches October 13
The latest update to miHoYo's hit mobile RPG Genshin Impact is launched on October 13th. The update, titled 'Into the Perilous Labyrinth of Fog', brings with it the final of Izanuma's 6 major islands, which brings a whole new map for players to explore along with a new playable character - Thoma. Alloy, the character from Horizon: Zero Dawn, will also be available on all platforms including Playstation, PC, and mobile starting with the launch of this update.
Tsurumi Island, the last major island of Inazuma, is finally open to Travelers with Version 2.2. The island is shrouded in dense fog, and players may easily get lost and encounter unprecedented challenges while exploring this area. The Rifthounds and the Rifthound Whelps are dangerous stealthy beasts lurking in the fog, waiting to launch a sneak attack. When an attack hits a character, all party members will be affected by the "Corrosion" status and continually lose HP regardless if they're shielded or not. In addition, Tsurumi Island appears to be the focus of recent research by a scholar from Sumeru. In the "Shadow of the Ancients" event, players have to accomplish investigation commissions across Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma to defeat an "Anomalous Model Ruin Grader" that seems to be constantly drawing power from an unknown source of energy to regenerate itself.
Besides the new map and character, version 2.2 also introduces a new series of seasonal events, gameplay optimizations, DualSense controller support, and more.
