Upon spotting the player, one of the enemies, an Eremite Axe Vanguard, jumped up and actually broke her guitar in anger before taking out an axe. She is a part of the infamous mercenary group called The Eremites, who conduct business with anyone as long as the pay is good. The video was well-received in theGenshin Impactcommunity as it gathered over 3k upvotes and multiple replies in the comment section claim that this is proof that HoYoverse took the exploration experience to the next level withthe release of the new Sumeru region.
Numerous fans claim that even thoughGenshin Impact’s official storylinehas also seen some improvements, they are more impressed by the small details like the one shown in the video. A couple of players have stated that they often just randomly stand and appreciate the new enemy’s idle animations from a safe distance. Sumeru’s NPCs can be seen doing various activities such as dancing, playing cards, or petting animals, which was not the case in the three previously released major regions, Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma.
The improved approach to enemy design gives the impression that the NPCs are not just patiently waiting for their encounter with the players. According to recent leaks,Genshin Impactversion 3.0 has introduced only one part of Sumeru and the remaining segments are apparently scheduled for future updates. Rumors have been hinting that once all parts of the new region are unlocked, it will belarger than Mondstadt and Liyue combined.
Players are hoping that the game introduces additional enemy types in the upcoming updates which will arrive sooner than usual as the recent live stream event confirmed a slight change to the game’s update schedule. to compensate for the three-week delay that occurred during update 2.6, the first three Sumeru updates will be one week shorter which means thatGenshin Impactversion 3.1should arrive on September 28.
Genshin Impactis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
