This trailer only shows a small part of Sumeru, but it shows all the rainforests and greenery we can expect on our travels to this new region. Everything looks fantastic, and the trailer is enhanced by a new soundtrack inspired by Middle Eastern music – a theme we can expect to see more of in this new region. (There is some controversy over the authenticity of many of Sumerus’s additions, such as the categories for many of the new characters.) Much of Sumeru’s new content has already been leaked, including many of the new characters coming to Sumeru in version 3.0. Spoiler alert: this completely ruins some of the surprises for players who want to be surprised. However, if you’re one who likes to prepare your Primogems in advance and don’t mind the surprise being ruined, then you can check out the massive leak here. As for version 2.8, a ton of new content is coming to the game, including a redesigned Golden Apple archipelago (the limited-time summer islands introduced last year), new character Shikanoin Heizou, and skins for popular characters Diluc and Fischl. It’s definitely not a filler update, so we’ll have a lot to do in 2.8 before we can finally venture into Sumeru when it’s released in 3.0.
