Genshin Impact’s Sumeru update will add beautiful rainforest and desert biomes

Genshin Influence’s impending Sumeru replace is about so as to add some lovely new areas to discover, and the sport’s builders shared a have a look at among the new zones in a new video.

The brand new areas will probably be divided into two main zones: a rainforest and a desert, atmosphere artist Jax Huang says within the video. The rainforest is crammed with rolling hills, lush vegetation, and towering timber. The desert biome, alternatively, is extra sparse but in addition incorporates ruins with intricate structure. Each appear like pure additions to Genshin Influence’s wealthy and colourful environments.

Every biome has some extra fantastical components, too. The forest has a metropolis constructed on an enormous tree and zones with big, glowy crops, whereas the desert has ruins which can be floating the wrong way up within the air. And the mysterious stays of an enormous robotic could be present in every biome — they make me consider the inert Guardians yow will discover in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. (Although there’s lots about Genshin Influence’s world that might remind you of Breath of the Wild.)

The Sumeru replace will probably be Genshin Influence’s 3.0 launch. It doesn’t have an official launch date simply but, however it’s anticipated to launch close to the top of August. For extra on the brand new replace, try this explainer from our good friends at Polygon.
