While leaks around a later update are already invading social networks, HoYoverse must always communicate to us what awaits us for the version 2.8 of Genshin Impact. It’s now done with a live that revealed a lot of information, even though most of it had leaked a few hours earlier, but we now know what to expect with this new update, placed under the sign of summer, and which will echo version 1.6 of the game.

Return to the Isles of the Golden Apple

Predictably, this summer update will mark the return of the golden apple islandsa temporary area that appeared last summer, just before Inazuma’s arrival.

Mona, Fischl, Kazuha and even Xinyan will be central to the new events of these islands, which have changed a bit since last time, with the appearance of domains that seem to be linked to each of the characters.

Kazuha returns, and Shikanoin Heizou arrives

As for the characters highlighted in this update, we will notice the return of Kazuhaone of the most coveted characters in the game, which happened to appear in version 1.6.

His rerun was highly anticipated, and he will be back in the first character banner that will arrive at the start of version 2.8.

And he will be accompanied by the new 4-star character of this update, Shikanoin Heizou, which also comes to us from Inazuma. This detective from the Tenryou commission will be a carrier of catalyst, but not like the others, since he will use his fists and his feet to fight. Heizou will be present on the same banner of Kazuha, from the 2.8 update.

We will also find Klee as an alternative banner to that of Kazuha, and Yoimiya will be the heart of the banner of the second part of version 2.8.

Two new skins, Diluc and Fischl

As expected, this update introduces us to two new skins for the game. It’s that time Diluc and Fischl who are entitled to preferential treatment, with two costumes to discover.

Fischl’s will be a 4-star suit, and can be unlocked for free by participating in various events related to the Golden Apple Islands. After version 2.8 of the game, it will be available in the store in exchange for 1680 primo-gems.

That of Diluc is the first 5 star skin in the game. It changes the appearance of the character, but also the visual effects of its attacks, with darker flames, while it also has the right to a new animation when it is inactive. This skin will be paying, and a little more expensive than the others.

New events

We will first have a brand new story quest, which will largely highlight Kazuha and her pastwith Heizou who will be around, since the two seem to know each other.

Moreover, we can get to know the latter better, sincea getaway centered on Heizou will also be on the program.

The biggest event of this 2.8 will be “Summer stay at the sea”which will be a combination of things to do in the areas of characters and mini-games, with lots of rewards to get including Fischl’s skin (through conch research). There will even be challenges on board the boat.

Another cooperative event will take place“Reminiscent Exercise”, where we will have to protect floating platforms by jumping from one to another and exterminating the enemies around, all without falling into the water.

Diluc will also be at the heart of a new event with some rewards to be obtainedwhich will highlight the character’s new skin (which will therefore not be free).

Finally, an event will ask to solve puzzles with mechanisms following the request of a person from Fontaine.

The codes to enter

As usual, this live gave us access to three codes to enter in game to get primo-gems and in-game items:

  • DTNVKAWBWSF5
  • WANVJAFAXTER
  • HA6C2AFBXSZV

These codes are only valid for a few hoursso do not hesitate to enter them as soon as possible.

A first glimpse of the new region of Sumeru

As a last surprise guide, we were treated to a first look at the game’s brand new region, Sumeru. This new area will arrive in 3.0, so later this summer, and will present us with a lush jungle to discover, palm trees and a rather tropical atmosphere.

When will Genshin Impact version 2.8 be available?

Version 2.8 of Genshin Impact will be available from July 13, very early in the morning. You will be able to obtain primo-gems in compensation for the maintenance that will be carried out that day.

Genshin Impact is available on PC, PS4, PS5, iOS and Android. Do not hesitate to consult our many guides on the game to find out more.
