Genshin Impact Version 2.5 Update Releases On February 16

Genshin Impact developer MiHoYo has announced that the game’s Version 2.5 update will launch on February 16. Titled “When the Sakura Bloom”, this new chapter will feature Yae Miko as a 5-star character, a challenging exploration event in Enkanomiya that has its own unique gameplay mechanics, and story quests for Raiden Shogun and Yae Miko.

You can see all of that and more, in the trailer below.

The new seasonal event “Three Realms Gateway Offering” will take place in an area based on Enkanomiya. Once players enter this area, they’ll continuously accumulate corrosive darkness and can only resist the energy with a Bokuso Box that will be given to them as part of the event. Three Realms Gateway Offering will last for the entirety of Version 2.5 and some of its best rewards include Primogems and the new 4-star catalyst weapon, Oathsworn Eye.
