Genshin Impact is finally becoming a real game by adding fishing in 2.1

A leak from the beta of Genshin Impact 2.1 has revealed that the prominent free-to-play RPG is going to get fishing mechanics. The leak, via several sources but focused around the relatively reputable Genshin Report, says that the 2.1 update will include Watasumi island, part of an archipelago near the mainland, and possibly Seirai island as well. As is often the case with Genshin, these new areas are hinted at or mentioned by previous characters but cannot be visited until the update.

This makes it look like 2.1 is another huge content patch, continuing the absolute firehose of major updates that Genshin Impact has gotten this year.
