A new Genshin Impact major update is just around the corner which means that players can expect a significant map extension in the foreseeable future. The game has officially confirmed that after Mondstadt, Liyue and Inazuma, players will have the option to explore a new major region named Sumeru.
A popular Gesnhin Impact leaker named naevis gives more information about the upcoming update claiming that the current file size for the 3.0 beta is around 43.3GB. However, it should be noted that the size does not include any voice lines.
