Genshin Impact developer miHoYo, under the global brand of HoYoverse, has shared another preview teaser from the upcoming nation of Sumeru. The next big update for Genshin Impact is expected to be Version 3.0, and it will bring with it the all-new country as well as a new element, Dendro. While the previous teaser for Sumeru honed in on the new element, the most recent teaser instead focuses on the land itself.

According to the developer, Sumeru differs from previously introduced regions in that it is largely divided between the rainforest and the desert. The rainforest area is filled with giant trees and rolling hills and mountains with a heavy focus on vegetation. The desert, by contrast, has rocks eroded by wind and sand over time and the occasional oasis. Both have a strong emphasis on the fantastical, and there are even spirits in Sumeru that only children can see. ย There are also the remains of a giant robot lying embedded in the mountains.
