#1. A New Nation
After Genshin Impact players have explored throughout Mondstadt and Liyue for months, the game developers are going to add a new nation to explore - Inazuma. It's a new land for players to explore in the upcoming update. Genshin Impact Inazuma is the nation of the Electro Archon.
You can explore new cultures, habits, and customs of this new nation in Genshin Impact 1.6. You also meet many people of that land. However, this update does not unlock the whole Inazuma. The whole nation will be unlocked gradually in later updates.
#2. New Vehicle
In the next update of Genshin Impact, players can sail the boat to cross the river and sea. You have seen a lot of boats and sailboats at Liyue port. However, these boats don't move currently. But in update 1.6, players can use these boats to cross the sea to travel to Inazuma on the other side of the sea. Boat travel is one of the most anticipated features of this new update.
If Mondstadt is inspired by Western cities and Liyue is inspired by the ancient Chinese cities, Inazuma is inspired by the nation of sunrise - Japan. It's also the homeland of many characters in this game. Therefore, many new playable characters will arrive in Genshin Impact 1.6.
#3. Genshin Impact 1.6 New Characters
The upcoming update also introduces many new characters. The first character to appear in this upcoming update is Kazuha. The 5-star character Kazuha is an Anemo swordmaster. Kazuha is a Samurai with mind-blowing power. Besides, Klee will also come back to Klee Wish Banner on June 9th. It's a good chance to obtain this powerful character that you shouldn't miss.
#4. New Weapons
The developers also introduce a new 5-star sword named Freedom-Sworn in the beginning wish banner. Besides, players will have more chances to obtain a 4-star bow named Mitternachts Waltz. Later weapon banners will also introduce many new weapons for polearm, claymore, or catalyst characters. Stay updated to not miss these good chances.

Moreover, this boss will drop ascension materials to upgrade the new character Kazuha as well as many other Anemo characters in this game.
#6. New Skin System
As the first summer update of the game, Genshin Impact 1.6 also introduces a new skin system. Previously, all character skins are fixed and players cannot change the outfits for their characters. They can only change the wings to make them look a bit different.
Therefore, the new skin system in the upcoming update is also the most anticipated feature. Jean and Barbara are the two first characters to have summer skins in this new update. The new skins of other characters will come later.
#7. New Quests & Events
