Genshin Impact 2.1 patch notes: Aloy debut, new Inazuma islands, fishing, more miHoYomiHoYo has released the patch notes for the highly-anticipated Genshin Impact 2.1 update. Not only will it add new Inazuma islands and fishing, but new characters such as Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West are debuting too. Genshin Impact\u2019s 2.1 update has been in the works for a while, with the developer teasing details for weeks. On August 30, miHoYo finally revealed everything that will be coming to the game by dropping the patch notes. 2.1 looks to be one of the best updates yet as it will improve upon the Inazuma nation that came with 2.0, as well as add new characters and finally bring the Horizon Forbidden West crossover to the game. Fishing is also coming! All in all, it\u2019s a pretty good time to be a Genshin fan. Contents: Aloy\u2019s Genshin Impact debut – New characters – New Inazuma islands – Fishing – Full Genshin Impact 2.1 patch notes – Aloy\u2019s debut with Genshin Impact x Horizon Forbidden West crossover Aloy is making her Genshin Impact debut in patch 2.1. Unfortunately for PC and mobile players, the five-star character will only be available on PS4\/PS5 as she\u2019s a platform exclusive until update 2.2. She is free for everyone, though, and is obtained simply by logging in and claiming her via your in-game mail once you\u2019ve reached Adventure Rank 20 or above. The Cryo-based fighter uses a bow in battle, and her moves are as follows: Normal Attack: Rapid Fire – Elemental Attack: Frozen Wilds – Elemental Burst: Prophecies of Dawn – New Genshin Impact characters Alongside Aloy, other characters are also making their Genshin Impact debut. Perhaps the most highly-anticipated of all is the \u201cPlane of Euthymia\u201d Raiden Shogun, the fearsome ruler of the Inazuma Shogunate. She is a five-star Electro character, and will get her own Banner that also includes Baal, Sara, Sucrose and Xiangling. The other characters coming in 2.1 are as follows: Kujou Sara \u2013 four-star Electro – Sangonomiya Kokomi \u2013 five-star Hydro – New Inazuma islands As if new characters weren\u2019t exciting enough, the 2.1 update also adds two new islands to Inazuma: Seirai Island and Watatsumi Island. You\u2019ll need to be Adventure Rank 30 to unlock, and also have completed the \u201cChapter II: Act I \u2013 The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia\u201d Archon Quest. Seirei Island, in particular, is known to be a thunderous land with a storm cloud at its peak similar to Dragonspine. Very mysterious\u2026 Fishing in Genshin Impact The last huge update coming to the game is the implementation of fishing \u2013 yes, fishing! Gone are the days of spamming the sprint button to catch up to those pesky critters in the water, replaced by a rod and bait. There\u2019s now a Fishing Association in the game, where you can trade your catches for rewards. You can even display them at your home in the Serenitea Pot, which you\u2019ll need to have unlocked first before the fishing system becomes available to you. You\u2019ll need to have completed the \u201cExploding Population\u201d quest too. A pin for Fishing Points has been added too, so you can mark exactly where to catch them on your map. Full Genshin Impact 2.1 patch notes New Domains, events, weapons, monsters, and more are also coming in the update, which is expected to go live around 8PM PT \/ 11PM ET on August 31 (4AM BST on September 1 for you UK folks) after five hours of downtime. The developer is apologizing for the outage by compensating each player 300 Primogems, so it\u2019s worth the wait. You can read the full patch notes below, courtesy of miHoYo: I.
