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-themed fun starting July 17th. This isn't your typical limited-time event; it's a substantial addition to the game, introducing a wealth of new content.

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

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

Among the many new minigames, the Northern Winds Gliding Challenge stands out, sending players soaring through Simulanka, shooting down balloons for points.

While Simulanka's limited-time nature might disappoint some, its extended availability from July 17th ensures ample time to enjoy all it offers.
