miHoYo has announced that the hugely anticipated Genshin Impact Version 2.0 will debut on July 21, bringing with it the much-requested Cross-Save feature alongside a brand new city and area to explore in the shape of Inamuza.
Genshin Impact Cross-Save will allow for progression sharing across PlayStation, PC, and mobile versions of the title, while Version 2.0 will also bring about a heap of new stories including main and side quests to tackle. In addition, there’s three new playable characters up for grabs — Ayaka, Yoimiya, and Saya.
As for Inazuma itself, miHoYo describes it as a place where players can bask in “ephemeral beauty everywhere,” and includes frequent weather changes in contrast to the perpetually sunny Mondstadt and Liyue. As such, you can expect strong sea breezes, flickering light and shadow, and thunderstorms.

Inazuma consist of six main islands, although players will only have access to three of them when Genshin Impact Version 2.0 launches. You’ll bump into beings of the friendly and not-so-friendly variety while exploring, including wandering samurais and a new branch of the Fatui.
Here’s a little more insight into the expansion via the PlayStation Blog:
Meanwhile, new boss enemies will be added to the map for Travelers to challenge and obtain more rewards. The Hypostasis family will see a new Pyro member joining – the Pyro Hypostasis. Strangely enough, the Perpetual Mechanical Array and a few other bizarrely-shaped machines similar to the Ruin Guards in Mondstadt and Liyue will also appear in Inazuma.
In addition to the new enemies, after its debut in Version 1.6, Maguu Kenki will also be found as a World Boss and a source for Character Level-Up Materials in Inazuma.
Elsewhere, the studio confirmed that PS5 and PS4 players will be able to hunt down a new selection of Trophies with Genshin Impact 2.0, while the game’s DualSense features have been further enhanced, so you can expect even more tactile feedback while drawing your bow and performing various actions.
Genshin Impact Version 2.0 arrives on July 21 for PS5, PS4, and PC.
