Enkanomiya will get additional content

The newest region added to the game in Version 2.4 was Enkanomiya, a subterranean world beneath Watasumi Island. The Three Realms Gateway Offering event introduces a new gadget that can be used to purify the tainted regions of Enkanomiya. There seem to be exclusive rewards available for participating, so it is recommended that players try to unlock this area as soon as possible.

Furthermore, new types of enemies called Shadow Husks will prowl all over the area. From their looks, they seem to be capable of dealing elemental damage.

New and Returning Events in Genshin Impact Version 2.5

Old events like Overflowing Mastery and Hyakunin Ikki are returning. Additionally, there are two new events coming out during this version. Devine Ingenuity is an event similar to Super Mario Maker where players can create their own domain and earn rewards when other players play them. Drink A-Dreaming is the other event where players play as a bartender creating drinks with correct ingredients for the customers.
