What's New in Genshin Impact Version 4.8?

HoYoverse is introducing a captivating new summer map called Simulanka, a magical realm filled with origami creatures and clockwork figures. Dive into this enchanting world with characters like Kirara, Nilou, Navia, and the Wanderer as you solve mysteries, tackle challenges, and immerse yourself in the summer festivities.

Version 4.8 also introduces a new five-star character, Emilie. This Dendro polearm user and perfumer specializes in dealing extra damage to enemies affected by Burning. Look forward to Emilie's debut and Yelan's rerun in the latter half of the Event Wishes, with Navia and Nilou's reruns starting things off.

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

More Exciting Features in Version 4.8

Simulanka isn't just a new map; it's packed with seasonal events and engaging mini-games. Test your skills in Boreal Flurry, where you'll shoot balloons from an aerial perspective, or try your luck at grabbing toy figures in the claw-machine-style Flying Hatter's Trick.

Participating in these mini-games will earn you Starsail Coins, which you can exchange for unique figurines to adorn the "Good Shelves" scattered throughout Simulanka.
