5 Most Awaited Contents From Genshin Impact V2.0
1) New quests
In the upcoming Inazuma update, players will have the opportunity to play several new quests. From Archon Quests, Story Quests, and new World Quests.
Trending
There will be 2 Archon Quests in Inazuma. The first one is Chapter II: Act I "The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia." The second one is Chapter II: Act II "Stilness, the Sublimation of Shadow." In these quests, players will have more in-depth contact with Electro Archon 'Raiden Shogun.' The Archon Quest may explain as to why the Electro Archon are so adamant to pursue "eternity."
For the Story Quest, it is confirmed that both of the new playable 5-star characters, Kamisato Ayaka and Yoimiya, will have their own Story Quest. Story Quest is tailored for 5-star characters, so the new 4-star character Sayu will not have a Story Quest.

2) New characters
From Genshin Impact version 2.0 trailer alone, there are 9 new characters that were introduced. 3 out 9 characters will be playable in version 2.0 while the other 6 characters were only introduced as an important figure in Inazuma.
3 of the new playable characters are Kamisato Ayaka, Yoimiya and Sayu.
Kamisato Ayaka
Kamisato Ayaka is the daughter of the Yashiro Commission's Kamisato Clan. By status, Ayaka is a person of high standing. However, instead of staying in her room, she decided to travel all around Inazuma and interact with the common folks. Her gentle and elegant demeanor gains her the title of "Shirasagi Himegimi." She will be added as a five-star Cryo sword user in the upcoming Genshin Impact version 2.0.
Yoimiya
Yoimiya is the owner of Naganohara Fireworks and known as the "Queen of the Summer Festival" by local Inazuman. Yoimiya is an expert in creating fireworks that can linger in people's hearts even after the fireworks have faded. While she behaves almost child-like, she is very passionate about the things she loves and is a chatty individual. In Genshin Impact version 2.0 update, Yoimiya will be added as another five-star character and a Pyro archer.
Sayu
Sayu is the new 4-star character, a wielder of claymore and Anemo Vision. Sayu is a ninja from the Shiyuumatsu-Ban and very skilled in various mystical ninjutsu. However, her hard-earned skills were mostly used for her to slack off and sleep wherever she could. She may look apathetic with her expressionless face, but she is just tired after sleeping for a long time.
The remaining 6 characters are Raiden Shogun, Thoma, Kujou Sara, Sangonomiya Kokomi, Gorou and Yae Miko. It is unknown whether these characters will become playable in future versions of Genshin Impact.
Raiden Shogun
Raiden Shogun is the Electro Archon that resided in Inazuma. She is introduced as someone who is cold and a frigid character. Aside from that, Raiden Shogun is also known by players as the Archon who are currently pursuing "eternity". In Genshin Impact 2.0 trailer, she had one scene that confirmed she was a sword wielder.
Thoma
Thoma has blond hair, which is eye-catching and very unique in Inazuma. He is said to be very observant of people and keep his identity as a mystery. Thoma is also mentioned to have some connection with Kamisato siblings, especially since he is the chief retainer of the Kamisato Clan.
Kujou Sara
Kujou Sara is the adopted daughter of the Kujou Clan of the Tenryou Commission. As a tengu warrior and a general, she is very loyal towards the Electro Archon. In Genshin Impact version 2.0 trailer, she can be seen wielding a bow with a purple glow around her arrow, controlling her armies to fight the Sangonomiya resistance. This hints the player that Kujou Sara is an archer with Electro Vision.
Sangonomiya Kokomi
Sangonomiya Kokomi is the leader of the Sangonomiya resistance. This resistance group is rallied together by people who fear losing their Visions. Kokomi is not only a leader, but she is also a wise military advisor, despite her delicate appearance.
Gorou
Gorou is a general of the Sanganomiya troops. His especially eye-catching ears and tails caught many players' interest. Gorou's youthful looks hide his fierce attitudes when in battle and is mentioned to be dependable during critical situations. Gorou had a scene in Genshin Impact 2.0 trailer where he is seen wielding a bow and a Geo Vision behind his neck.
Yae Miko
The last character that was introduced is Yae Miko. She is the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine. Behind her beautiful and graceful appearance, she is said to be very cunning and intelligent. Her first appearance was during the Genshin Impact Chinese livestream version 1.5.
