It's true that Genshin Impact’s Version 2.8, Summer Fantasia has been on the radar for a while. Today, just for you, we’ve got some details of this brand-new version of the title; PlayStation released new info regarding the launch date (July 13) and what the event will be about. Here is an overview of what’s coming to the 2.8 version:
The Golden Apple Archipelago is once again open with a different look, bringing a variety of plots, stories, challenges, and rewards. Get ready to delve into realms you’ve never set foot in before and discover a different side of your longtime companions. Then, a year after Kaedehara Kazuha’s first arrival, the wandering samurai seems to want to deepen his friendship with you while bringing the first chapter of his Story Quest and his close friend Shikanoin Heizou.
Summertime Odyssey
Compared to the previous island adventures, this year’s Summertime Odyssey big event aims to bring even more as the Golden Apple Archipelago sees a drastic makeover. New landscapes and many new stories can be found throughout the event, including richer rewards like a significant number of new treasure chests. Players will also have the chance to obtain the four-star character Fischl and her latest outfit, both of which are available for a limited time.
Travelers visiting the Golden Apple Archipelago this summer can expect severe explorations, as each island has been transformed through different themes and puzzles. Xinyan, Fischl, Kazuha, and Mona traveling with us also have their secret connections to certain areas, where you may run into mysterious realms with danger and treasures.
Bonding with Friends
While you have a good time on the islands with other characters, Version 2.8 allows you to bond with even more friends, old and new. Diluc, Kaedehara Kazuha, and the brand-new playable four-star character Shikanoin Heizou will appear in the latest events and stories. As one of the early playable characters, Diluc will receive a brand-new outfit. The outfit will soon be available in the Shop, featuring a distinctive look, new idle animation, and new effects. Meanwhile, its backstory and a trial stage can be found in the Hidden Strife challenge event.
After joining the game for over a year, Kaedehara Kazuha’s Story Quest has finally arrived. Coming from a renowned family of swordsmiths in Inazuma, Kazuha’s story seems to be related to a mysterious sword and a duel. You will find out more in his Story Quest, Acer Palmatum Chapter. In addition, Kazuha’s friend Shikanoin Heizou will also debut in the upcoming version. Heizou is a young genius detective of the Tenryou Commission who is active on the frontline in the fight against criminal masterminds. Despite his free and unruly nature, Kujou Sara thinks highly of his crime-solving abilities. You may find out more and even join his work in his Hangout Event.
Shikanoin Heizou will be available in Kaedehara Kazuha’s and Klee’s rerun event wishes in the early phase of Version 2.8. Likewise, Yoimiya’s rerun will be available in the later stage of the update.
