Genshin Impact 4.8: Summer Edition with New Characters, Maps, Outfits!

Genshin Impact enthusiasts, get ready for a splash of summer fun with the upcoming Version 4.8 update titled 'Summertide Scales and Tales.' Scheduled for release on July 17th, this update promises to bring a wave of excitement to the game.

Genshin Impact Version 4.8: A Treasure Trove of New Features

HoYoverse is introducing a captivating new summer map called Simulanka, a magical realm filled with origami creatures and clockwork figures. Dive into this enchanting world with characters like Kirara, Nilou, Navia, and the Wanderer as you solve mysteries, overcome challenges, and immerse yourself in its charm.

A new five-star character, Emilie, joins the fray. This Dendro polearm-wielding perfumer specializes in dealing additional damage to Burning enemies. Look forward to her debut alongside Yelan's rerun in the second half of Version 4.8 Event Wishes, following the reruns of Navia and Nilou to kick things off.

Speaking of Nilou, both she and Kirara are getting summer makeovers. Kirara's new outfit is available for those who gather enough 'Excerpts of Bliss' and 'Jubilant Feathers,' while Nilou's floral-themed attire will be offered at a limited-time discount.

What Else Is New? A Plethora of Exciting Additions!

Simulanka isn't just about scenic beauty; it's packed with seasonal events and engaging mini-games. Test your aim in Boreal Flurry by shooting balloons from an aerial perspective, or try your luck at snagging toy figures in the Flying Hatter’s Trick, reminiscent of a claw machine. For those who enjoy a challenge, the Metropole Trials await, where you'll manage two teams in intense combat scenarios.

Participating in these mini-games will earn you Starsail Coins, which you can exchange for unique figurines to adorn the "Good Shelves" scattered across Simulanka. Completing main storylines also rewards you with these shelves, which you can use as Furnishings in your Serenitea Pot.

Stay tuned for more updates by checking out Genshin Impact on the Google Play Store. And as you eagerly await the launch of Version 4.8 on July 17th, don't miss out on other exciting news, such as Yostar's release of the English trailer for Heaven Burns Red.
