Genshin Impact's Version 4.8, "Summertide Scales and Tales," launches July 17th, bringing a wave of summer fun. This update introduces Simulanka, a new summer-themed map filled with origami creatures and clockwork mechanisms. Players will team up with Kirara, Nilou, Navia, and the Wanderer to solve mysteries and overcome challenges in this enchanting location.
Version 4.8 also features Emilie, a new five-star Dendro polearm user who excels against Burning enemies. Her debut, alongside Yelan's rerun, will appear in the latter half of the Version 4.8 Event Wishes, following reruns for Navia and Nilou. Nilou and Kirara receive summer outfits; Kirara's is obtainable by collecting "Excerpts of Bliss" and "Jubilant Feathers," while Nilou's floral attire will be available at a limited-time discount.
The Simulanka region offers a variety of seasonal events and mini-games. Participate in Boreal Flurry (balloon shooting), Flying Hatter's Trick (claw machine game), and Metropole Trials (team-based combat challenges). These activities reward players with Starsail Coins, redeemable for decorative figurines for "Good Shelves" within Simulanka. These shelves can even be added as furnishings to your Serenitea Pot upon completion of the main storylines.
