A new Genshin Impact leak reveals a new desert part of Sumeru that should arrive in the upcoming version 3.6 which should drop around mid-April. Over the last couple of months, the game's developer has introduced a trend of adding new parts of Teyvat with every other update.
The previous Genshin Impact update 3.4 expanded the region to the north by adding another part of the desert. This mysterious Dendro region was first introduced in update 3.0 alongside its Dendro element which had a huge impact on the character meta as it introduced much-needed diversity to the combat system.
A new post on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit has revealed another part of the Sumeru region that will arrive in update 3.6. According to the post, this will probably be the region's greatest expansion, likely confirming previous rumors that the Dendro nation is bigger than the current version of Mondstadt and Liyue combined. Many fans claim that this update will be packed with new content as HoYoverse already confirmed the arrival of Baizhu and Kaveh, two new playable Dendro characters. Baizhu has been part of the since the early Liyue quests when he was introduced as a very calm character and the owner of the famous Bubu Pharmacy located in Liyue Harbor.
According to recent leaks, Baizhu will be a very flexible support that can fit many types of team compositions. His kit will also be equipped with a lot of damage potential which led many players to believe that he could be used as a sub-DPS as well. Baizhu will have a five-star rarity, unlike Kaveh who's confirmed to be a four-star character.
Kaveh made his first appearance recently during "The Kalpa Flame Rises" Archon Quest. He is known as a talented architect who created a lot of iconic buildings all over Sumeru including the Palace of Alcazarzaray. Many fans claim that this could be the last part of Sumeru to arrive to the game since recent leaks have been hinting that Mondstadt and Liyue could be getting a new expansion in the foreseeable future.
Unlocking a new part of Liyue would make sense story-vise considering that the next Archon quest will take place in the Fontaine. There is not a lot of information about this region other than that it's home to the Hydro Archon Focalors. Over the last couple of weeks, multiple leaks have revealed some of the new characters that might arrive with the new major region.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
