Genshin Impact Gets New Trailer Introducing New Character, the Raiden Shogun

Following the reveal of version 2.1 of Genshin Impact, MiHoYo launched a new trailer introducing one of the new characters coming soon.

We get a new look at the Raiden Shogun (we already saw her gameplay during the latest livestream), and this time we get a glimpse into her backstory, which certainly appears to be troubled.

She will be released on September 1 alongside the update.

You can check her out below in both the English and Japanese trailers depending on your language preference. Admittedly, there really aren’t many spoken lines.

Here’s how MiHoYo officially describes the Raiden Shogun.

“Only the shadow of the days of yore and empty dreams remain. Meanwhile, the hearts of mortals weigh heavy with eternal loneliness. Such was the lingering image left in the “Plane of Euthymia” on the day of the Vision Hunt Ceremony.”

If you want to see more of Genshin Impact, we recently interviewed MiHoYo about the game’s platforms, inspiration, and more. You can also read our review and watch the trailers dedicated to Kamisato Ayaka, one dedicated to Yoimiya, and one showing Sayu.

On top of that, you can read more about update 2.1. The game is currently available for PS5, PS4, PC, iOS, and Android.
