Archive: this article looks back at Version 2.0, released on June 6, 2025. It is not the current patch announcement.
What the milestone introduced
HoYoverse’s producer introduced the update through PlayStation Blog, describing the start of Season 2 and a move to Waifei Peninsula. Yixuan and Yunkui Summit were central to that new setting.
Permanent additions behind the milestone
The update introduced a 3D map and Fissure Beacons for navigation, recovery and travel inside the expanded Hollows. It also let players reach the Season 2 storyline after Chapter 2 Interlude, and expanded Lost Void with commissions and multiple-Agent Gear options. These are the enduring systems to recognize when returning, rather than treating every item in the announcement as a limited reward.
Yunkui Summit’s featured newcomers included Yixuan, Ju Fufu and Pan Yinhu. The producer’s original announcement explains the setting and roster context. Our Yixuan archive keeps her debut separate from present availability.
For a returning player, the practical order is to locate the relevant story objective, try the newer map/navigation tools, and then inspect the current challenge menus. Those actions help identify what changed without assuming that a 2025 event reward can still be claimed in 2026.
Why the date matters
When you return to a live game, search results can mix permanent story additions with rewards that were available only during an older event. Read the publication date and the event period before planning around an offer.
A version retrospective is useful for recognizing where a story chapter fits. It is a poor substitute for checking the current client when you need today’s unlock requirements or banner lineup.
A route for returning players
Open your current story objective, review the menus introduced since your last session and continue with a familiar team. Our daily checklist can help you rebuild a manageable routine.
For current announcements, use the news hub and follow the official source linked in the relevant article. The illustrative cover represents the game’s urban setting; it is not a screenshot of the Version 2.0 update.
