MiHoYo has confirmed the arrival of Thoma, new weapons, events, and domains \u2014 as well as Tsurumi Island, Inazuma\u2019s final major expansion. Here\u2019s what you need to know about the update. The next major Genshin Impact update, Version 2.2, is on its way. After leaks promised the world, miHoYo unveiled a rather reserved package at their Tokyo Game Show livestream. However, we will still be getting some new content, including new character Thoma and the Tsurumi Island expansion. On top of that, a host of new weapons, events, and domains are expected to launch \u2014 and there\u2019s a couple of small changes to Sucrose and Noelle. Here\u2019s what you need to know. When is Genshin Impact update 2.2 releasing? Genshin Impact\u2019s Version 2.2 update, named \u201cInto the Perilous Labyrinth of Fog\u201d, will drop on October 13, 2021. Players will be able to pre-download the patch starting from October 11 so they can jump right in as maintenance ends at around 4am BST on October 13. What\u2019s coming in Genshin Impact update 2.2? Thoma finally released, Itto & Gorou revealed Thoma will be releasing in the 2.2 update as a new four-star playable character. Thoma holds a Pyro Vision and wields a polearm as his weapon. He is also a reliable teammate in combat, providing strong defense and buffs. Players were also expecting Yae Miko and potentially Kamisato Ayato \u2014 Ayaka\u2019s brother \u2014 to drop as part of Genshin Impact update 2.2. However, neither were revealed in the special program. But, two others were finally revealed afterwards on October 10: Arataki Itto and Gorou. Arataki Itto \u2027 Hanamizaka Heroics The First and Greatest Head of the Arataki Gang Fast as the wind and mighty as thunder, he is an intrepid man with Oni blood running through his veins.#GenshinImpact pic.twitter.com\/YotIulzlYp \u2014 Genshin Impact (@GenshinImpact) October 11, 2021 Itto, the \u201cfirst and greatest head of the Arataki Gang\u201d is dropping in as a Geo-Claymore user. He also has a \u201cTaurus Iracundus\u201d tag, which indicates he will likely get a story quest as a five-star character. Gorou is much of the same. The General of the Watatsumi Army has the \u201cCanis Bellatoris\u201d tag, and will join the roster as a Geo-Bow user. Itto and Gorou\u2019s release dates have not been confirmed. Given their teasers now though, they will likely come in update 2.3. https:\/\/twitter.com\/GenshinImpact\/status\/1447503491371610112 Childe & Hu Tao getting re-runs, new Hangout Events Thoma will feature alongside the Hu Tao banner rerun, which will follow after Childe\u2019s return on October 12. To complement these re-runs, new weapons like the five-star Polar Star bow will be dropping. Hangout Events for Thoma and Sayu will also be available with Version 2.2. Tsurumi Island launches with Genshin Impact update 2.2 Seirai and Watatsumi Island launched as part of Genshin Impact patch 2.1, which leaves just one to be added in 2.2: Tsurumi Island. The island is shrouded in dense fog, and players may easily get lost and encounter unprecedented challenges while exploring this area. To make matters even worse, there are a number of dangerous beasts that lurk within the darkness. Rifthounds and the Rifthound Whelps are stealthy beasts that use their steal to unleash deadly sneak attacks. When an attack hits a character, all party members will be affected by the \u201cCorrosion\u201d status and continually lose HP even if they\u2019re shielded. Genshin Impact patch 2.2 new events Four new events will be dropping as part of Genshin Impact patch 2.2. These will, obviously, be spaced out across the release cycle. Labyrinth Warriors: A Rogue-like dungeon event, with players earning a free copy of Xinyan. – Shadow of the Ancients: Players have to accomplish investigation commissions across Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma to defeat an \u201cAnomalous Model Ruin Grader\u201d that seems to be constantly drawing power from an unknown source of energy to regenerate itself. – Tuned to the World\u2019s Sounds: A music-themed event starring Ningguang, Zhongli, Keqing, Xiao, Kokomi, Ayaka, and the Raiden Shogun. – Dreams of Bloom: A Serenitea Pot-based event where you grow special plants to get new furnishings. – Genshin Impact update 2.2 balance changes: Sucrose & Noelle Despite criticism around Kokomi\u2019s weak release, no buffs are expected to come to the Sangonomiya Clan leader. Instead, a couple of changes are coming to Sucrose and Noelle. They won\u2019t affect their power in-game though, it\u2019s just a revision of the skill descriptions to make it easier to read. There are some quality of life changes coming though. The Artifact limit is being increased to 1,500, and players can now skip multiple days in one time adjustment.
