Genshin Impact has been teasing the Inazuma region for the past few weeks. The new nation will have brand new gameplay mechanics associated with the Electro element. Players will also get to experience plenty of new characters and enemies.

It is known that the Archon ruling over Inazuma has put the nation under lockdown and is confiscating all the Visions within. Players only have to wait for a few more hours to learn the actual reason behind the Archon's atrocities.
