Genshin Impact Update 2.4 Arrives Next Week, Takes Us Underwater

Genshin Impact update 2.4 will arrive on January 5, 2022. Titled “Fleeting Colors in Flight” the update brings us to the submerged ruins of Enkanomiya which is located beneath Inazuma.

The Fleeting Colors in Flight update will also bring with it two new characters, five-star Shenhe and four-star Yun Jin. Both of the new playable characters are pole arm fighters.

We recently performed a ranking of all the Genshin Impact characters from best to worst. We’ll be sure to add in these new characters once we’ve had the chance to play with them.

Among the enemies in Enkanomiya is the Bathysmal Vishaps, characters that Mihoyo calls one of the game’s most “cunning social predators who can hunt together and take advantage of their surroundings in combat.”

There is no day and night cycle in the updates new world. Instead, “Players will find a way to use Dainichi Mikoshi, the artificial sun developed by the ancient civilization,” Mihoyo said, “as they delve into the puzzles and depths of Enkanomiya.”

If you haven’t played Genshin Impact yet, you can pick it up as a free-to-play option. It’s an excellent open-world action RPG that’s definitely worth a first or second look.

Here’s a quick look at the Genshin Impact 2.4 update.
