Genshin Impact just unveiled exciting details about the upcoming Version 4.8 update during a recent livestream. Aptly titled 'Summertide Scales and Tales,' this update promises to bring a wave of summer vibes to the game, set to launch on July 17th. Dive in to discover what's in store for this vibrant update.
Genshin Impact Version 4.8: What's New
HoYoverse is introducing a new summer map called Simulanka in the Genshin Impact Version 4.8 update. This magical wonderland is filled with origami creatures and clockwork figures, offering a unique setting for players to explore. Join forces with characters like Kirara, Nilou, Navia, and the Wanderer to solve mysteries, overcome challenges, and immerse yourself in the enchanting atmosphere.
A new five-star character, Emilie, will be available for recruitment. As a Dendro polearm user and a skilled perfumer, Emilie excels at dealing extra damage to Burning enemies. Look forward to her debut and Yelan’s rerun in the second half of Version 4.8 Event Wishes, while Navia and Nilou will kick off the festivities with their reruns.
Kirara and Nilou are also receiving summer-themed makeovers. Kirara's new outfit can be obtained by collecting 'Excerpts of Bliss' and 'Jubilant Feathers,' whereas Nilou's floral-themed attire will be available at a limited-time discount.
More Exciting Features in Version 4.8
Simulanka is not just a new map but a hub for seasonal events and mini-games. Engage in Boreal Flurry, where you can shoot balloons from an aerial perspective, or try your luck at the claw-machine-inspired Flying Hatter’s Trick to win toy figures. Additionally, participate in the Metropole Trials, where you'll need to assemble two teams for thrilling combat challenges.
Participating in these mini-games will earn you Starsail Coins, which you can exchange for unique figurines to adorn the "Good Shelves" scattered throughout Simulanka. Completing the main storylines will also allow you to acquire these shelves as Furnishings for your Serenitea Pot.
