Genshin Impact\'s new 4.8 update is right around the corner with new summer-themed content

Authore: LillianUpdate:Jan 06,2025

Genshin Impact's highly anticipated 4.8 update is almost here, bringing a wave of summer fun! Launching July 17th, this update isn't just a small event; it's a substantial expansion to the game.

The star of the show is Simulanka, a brand-new, limited-time map brimming with unique creatures and gameplay mechanics. This exciting addition arrives alongside Dendrie, a powerful five-star Dendro polearm character.

Players can also look forward to new outfits for Kirara and Nilou, a series of seasonal events with enticing rewards, and special Event Wishes. The update also offers a sneak peek at the upcoming Natlan region.

ytAmong the many new minigames, the Northern Winds Gliding Challenge stands out. Soar through the skies above Simulanka, popping balloons for points in this exhilarating aerial competition.

While Simulanka's limited-time nature might disappoint some, its extended availability after the July 17th launch ensures ample playtime.
