Genshin Impact Prepares for Summer with 4.8 Update

by Patrick Feb 19,2025

Genshin Impact's highly anticipated 4.8 update is on the horizon, bringing a summer splash of new content! Launching July 17th, this isn't your average limited-time event; it's a substantial expansion. Let's dive into the details.

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 formidable five-star Dendro polearm character.

Further enriching the update are new outfits for Kirara and Nilou, a series of seasonal events with exclusive rewards, and special Event Wishes. This update also offers a sneak peek at the upcoming Natlan region.

ytAmong the new minigames, the Northern Winds Gliding Challenge stands out, a thrilling aerial adventure over Simulanka where players score points by popping balloons.

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