Genshin Impact Version 4.8: A Summer Wonderland Awaits

HoYoverse is set to enchant players with a new summer map called Simulanka. This magical realm is filled with origami creatures and clockwork figures, providing a fresh backdrop for adventure. Join forces with fan-favorites Kirara, Nilou, Navia, and the Wanderer to solve mysteries, overcome challenges, and immerse yourself in the summer vibes.

A new five-star character, Emilie, joins the roster in Version 4.8. As a Dendro polearm user and perfumer, Emilie brings unique abilities to the battlefield, including extra damage against Burning enemies. Look out for her debut and Yelan's rerun in the latter half of the Event Wishes, following the initial reruns of Navia and Nilou.

Speaking of Nilou, she and Kirara are getting summer makeovers. Kirara's new outfit can be yours by collecting 'Excerpts of Bliss' and 'Jubilant Feathers,' while Nilou's floral-themed attire will be available at a limited-time discount.
