New Island
This will be the first update of 2022 and it will unveil a brand new nation, the “Atlantis” of Inazuma, known as Enkanomiya. It’s the remains of an underwater nation that was sealed away for thousands of years beneath Inazuma.

What sets this island apart from the rest in Inazuma is that Enkanomiya is a huge floating island located beneath the ocean. It’s a place where the ancestors of the people of Watatsumi Island once lived.
