What to expect in Genshin Impact version 2.6

1) Kamisato siblings' character banners

Kamisato Ayato is confirmed to be in version 2.6, as his introduction was announced before the version 2.5 update was available. Therefore, players may want to save their remaining Primogems for the next male Hydro character.

On the other hand, while Kamisato Ayaka is not confirmed to have her banner in the next update, her appearance on the cover photo might give some hope to users who plan to wish for the 5-star Cryo character.

2) New area: The Chasm

During the 2.5 livestream, the developer gave a sneak peek at the following new area in Genshin Impact. Two regions of The Chasm were shown: The Surface and Underground Mines.

In the former, the mine is rich with strange stones and mysterious ores called 'Glazed Sand Crystal,' a raw material often used in making Liyue's porcelain. In the Underground Mines, the pathways were said to be intricate and complex, reminding gamers of Enkanomiya with its dark atmosphere.

The mines here are not only rich in minerals, but the special environmental conditions have also harvested unique fluorescent plants.

Ruin Serpent will be the new enemy in version 2.6. Although it is unknown whether it will be a boss-type or common enemy, players can speculate it will be hard to defeat without a proper plan.

The developer introduced Ruin Serpent as a giant serpent that slithers quietly in the shadows of the mine to pave the way for unknown danger. Judging from its appearance, the creature looks like a digging machine of some sort.
