The fireworks have dissipated in the Liyue skies, hopefully your Keqing & Ningguang are fitted with some glamorous new threads and the treasures of the newly rebuilt Jade Chamber have been salvaged from the oceans. Another Lantern Rite has come and passed, so the new update for Genshin Impact scheduled for February 16th will refocus players? attention to the sunken land of Enkaomiya.

The sultry head shrine maiden of the Grand Narukami Shrine is a Electro Catalyst user who will leave constructs that can summon lightning to strike down nearby foes. For those who missed out, the leaders of the conflict in Inazuma will be recruitable as the Raiden Shogun Ei and Sangonomiya Kokomi summon banners will return during the course of the 2.5 update.
Other events that will be occurring during the 2.5 update will have players trying their hand at mixology, dungeon creation and tag team tournament in the form of Hyakunin Ikki.

Version 2.5 “When the Sakura Bloom” Trailer | Genshin Impact:
The ancient Sacred Sakura stands on the peak of Mt. Yougou, its roots running long and deep into the earth, stretching endlessly.
Underneath its shadow, there are people who wholeheartedly wish for blessings, a kitsune who is amused at the floating world, and a god who yearns for transient eternity.Everything in this world changes, people come and go, but the Sacred Sakura blooms brilliantly every year, its petals going where the wind leads.
