Genshin Impact Update 2.5 Content

Genshin Impact’s new update, Update 2.5, will be released to players sometime in February, yet nothing major is known about update 2.5. Game’s closed beta program version 2.5 went to select players, where they got access to the content.

Data miners didn’t stop there and dug up everything they could find and put it on the internet. We will talk about everything about the content we know.

character skins

Each update brings new skins for some characters, and this new update will be no different in that regard as some characters get new skins.

• Jean new skin – Gunhildr’s Heritage
• Amber new skin – 100% Outrider
• Mona new skin – Covenant of Stars and Moon
• Rosaria new skin – Churchs Free Spirit.

New Enemies

The new update brings in a new enemy called Shadowy Husks. Shadowy Husks have the ability to heal and protect their allies (player enemies). When players beat the chaff, they get Gloomy, dark and deadly figurines.

There are three different versions of the Shadow Husks:

• Line Breaker Shadowy Husk
• Guard shadowy Husk
• Flag bearer Shadowy Husk

Weekly Boss

Weekly bosses are enemies that are stronger and harder to deal with than normal bosses. After being defeated, the players get some great rewards such as Character Ascension Materials, Artifacts and Crafting Materials. Players can battle these bosses at any time, but the rewards will only drop weekly.

With Update 2.5, the weekly bosses are Inazuma’s Electro Archon, Raiden Shogun. She first appeared in Genshin Impact in Update 2.1. She was the main opponent of the Inazuma Archon quest, as it was she who carried out the Vision Hunt decree. According to leaks, Raiden will drop the Ascension material as a reward and will have a remarkably different character design than her playable version.

Character banner

It’s no longer news that every update brings a new character to Genshin Impact. Update 2.5 brings Yae Miko as the playable character in Genshin Impact.

Owner of Yae Publishing House, which publishes light novels, also oversees the Grand Narukami Shrine as a main shrine girl. She is the descendant of the Kitsune Lineage. She will presumably be a rare five-star character and a user of Electro elements.

Since her first appearance in Update 2.1 Archon Quest, Yae has been in demand as a playable character, which the developers listened to and bring her in the new Update 2.5.

others

Update 2.5 will bring many new quality of life changes to the Genshin Impact. Currently, all we know is that audio settings, weapon inventory, and artifact inventory changes will arrive in-game with the update.

Genshin Impact Update 2.5 Release Date

When will the new update, Update 2.5, be released? Is it coming sooner? The developers, miHoYo, always host a Livestream that shows the contents of the new update. miHoYo generally and perhaps always hosts the Livestream two weeks prior to the update’s release.

The developers haven’t announced the date yet, but fans have speculated that Livestream will take place on February 4, 2022. If this is true, Update 2.5 will be released two weeks after the Livestream, which is between February 12 – February 16, 2022.
