Current Genshin Impact region

Inazuma castle in Genshin Impact
Inazuma is the latest region that was released in Genshin Impact.

The current Genshin Impact region is Inazuma. This feudal landscape was added as part of the game’s 2.0 update, which introduced a number of notable characters to the ever-growing roster. Inazuma is governed by the Electro Archon, Raiden Shogun

Inazuma has seen countless bloodshed as rival clans continue to fight both for and against the Ei’s Vision Hunt Decree. The island nation’s landscape is also incredibly hostile and frequent electrical storms can be seen throughout the region.

If that wasn’t bad enough, wandering samurai and Electro-based enemies roam the lands in search of easy prey. Inazuma is a place fraught with both danger and beauty, which is what makes this area so appealing for many travelers.

Next Genshin Impact region: Sumeru

The next Genshin Impact region to release is Sumeru. This location is known for its vast deserts and ancient forests, which help to distinguish it from the game’s current areas.

Current Genshin Impact leaks also indicate that Sumeru will also include the first Dendro character, YaoyaoSumeru City was also recently revealed, which gave players an early look at how this new POI compares to other locations.
