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

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

The centerpiece is Simulanka, a brand-new, limited-time map brimming with unique creatures and gameplay mechanics. Accompanying this exciting addition is Dendrie, a powerful five-star Dendro polearm user.

Get ready for new outfits for Kirara and Nilou, a series of seasonal events packed with rewards, and special Event Wishes. This major update also offers a sneak peek at the upcoming Natlan region.

Among the many new minigames, the Northern Winds Gliding Challenge stands out. Soar through the skies above Simulanka, popping balloons for points!

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