The summer fairy tale is almost upon us! Genshin Impact Version 4.8 arrives on July 17, bringing a new limited-time area, events, and much more. To bring Travelers up to speed, developer HoYoverse shared the preview of everything to keep your eyes peeled for!
The first phase of the patch, lasting for three weeks, brings back some beloved characters. That includes the long-awaited return of Kaveh that was chained somewhere in HoYoverse’s basement for over a year since his debut in May 2023. Players can also throw their Primogems at Navia (5-star Geo Claymore), Nilou (5-star Hydro Sword), Ningguang (4-star Geo Catalyst), and Kirara (4-star Dendro Sword).
If you are wondering about the new character, Emilie will have her debut in the second phase of the patch. She will be accompanied by Yelan.
Genshin Impact – Version 4.8 Phase I Events Include:
- Summertide Scales and Tales – during the event, four gameplay modes will be unlocked in succession. You can use Starsail Coins earned in the event to create Fairytale Figurines and unlock the corresponding rewards. After creating a specific number of figurines, you can get a free copy of Kirara. In addition, exploring Simulanka will let you acquire Excerpts of Bliss. Collect a certain number to exchange for Kirara’s new outfit!
- Outside the Canvas, Inside the Lens: Dew-Kissed Chapter. You once again encounter the illustrator Asagiri in Fontaine. She’s expanding her artistic endeavors to the Nation of Hydro.
Additionally, the devs have already shared the first teaser trailer for Natlan. It also gives players a chance to take a glimpse at the upcoming characters!
