Genshin Impact version 2.5 update trailer reveals Yae Miko, new seasonal event

Mihoyo has released a new trailer for their upcoming version 2.5 update for Genshin Impact via a Twitch live stream. The patch goes live starting February 16, 2022, and introduces Yae Miko – a new five-star character, new enemies, and a seasonal event called “Three Realms Gateway Offering.”

The new update covers the land of Enkanomiya in corrosive darkness, that brings forth a range of enemies. The only way to dispel it is by levelling up your Bokuso box (special event-based gadget) by opening chests, unlocking waypoints, and completing exploration objectives in the area.

The trailer also introduced the much-anticipated five-star character, Yae Miko, the pink-haired fox lady that uses element based attacks to lay down “constant damage off-field and high burst damage on-field.” Previous leaks had confirmed that her attacks would consist of AOE (area of effect) damage that shocks opponents within a closed radius.
