Genshin Impact's highly anticipated 4.8 update is just around the corner, bringing a wave of summer fun! Launching July 17th, this update 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-wielding character.

Prepare for new outfits for Kirara and Nilou, a series of seasonal events packed with rewarding challenges, 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, a thrilling aerial adventure over Simulanka where you'll shoot down balloons for points.

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