Genshin Impact 1.2 will also include a new area named Dragonspine, which will be on the chilly side to explore.
A message from Mihoyo confirms: “Here, Travelers will discover a whole new exploration experience, filled with various puzzles as well as new quests and mechanics awaiting at every turn.
“A brand-new environmental mechanic has been specially added for the Dragonspine area — Subzero Climate. In the plummeting temperatures of Dragonspine, characters will continuously accumulate "Sheer Cold."
“Once Sheer Cold reaches its limit, characters will start periodically losing HP. Certain conditions like Snowstorms and actions like swimming will even accelerate Sheer Cold's accumulation.
