Genshin Impact update 2.4 has already introduced two brand new playable characters, the long-awaited Shenhe and Yun Jin. Both of these characters have been announced on the official Genshin Impact Twitter account which is miHoYo's way of confirming new characters for the following update.
A new Genshin Impact character by the name Yae Miko has been introduced in the same manner and she will arrive in the upcoming update 2.5. Yae Miko is expected to be a new Electro Catalyst and multiple rumors are already hinting that she might be DPS character.
A recent post one the popular Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit has revealed that the popular region Mondstadt will receive a major expansion in the foreseeable future. According to the leak, the currently available parts of Mondstadt are only 60% of the whole region. The region will apparently be expanded to the north of the city od Mondstadt. This iconic region is the first one that was introduced to the game and the main Genshin Impact story begins with the Traveler meeting Amber and heading to Mondstadt.

Previous Genshin Impact leaks have revealed more information about the upcoming updates. Apparently, the updates that will arrive after 2.4 will most likely bring additional skins tied with the region of Mondstadt. Fans already know that 2.4 will bring the Lantern Rite event, which is Liyue-themed, meaning that 2.5 could bring Mondstadt back into the spotlight, as was the case with updates 1.3 and 1.4 this year. Even though the leakers have accurately predicted the majority of Genshin Impact content, these leaks should still be taken with a grain of salt.
The leak also claims that miHoYo will add a new region this Summer, the long-awaited city of Sumeru. According to the leak, Sumeru will be similar to the Inazuma island, which was introduced back in September 2021. Each of the main regions in the game revolves around its own respective Archon and its divine ideals which are order, justice, contract, freedom, etc. In the case of Sumeru, the God of Wisdom rules in the pursuit of all knowledge. Even though he is one of the rare leaders whose identity still remains unknown, it's well known that Sumeru's Archon is the youngest out of the seven Genshin Impact Archons. Sumeru should also introduce the Dendro element which is the only element that's still unplayable.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
