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 isn't your typical limited-time 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. Accompanying this exciting addition is Dendrie, a powerful five-star Dendro polearm user.

Beyond the new map and character, players can look forward to fresh outfits for Kirara and Nilou, a series of seasonal events packed with rewards, and special Event Wishes. This update also offers a sneak peek at the upcoming Natlan region.

Among the new minigames is the exhilarating Northern Winds Gliding Challenge. 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.
