Genshin Impact Version 4.8 will be out this week and HoYoVerse has given us a rundown on what events you can expect in Phase I of the new update. This includes limited time banners and shop items as well.
Banners and costumes
From the time Version 4.8 starts to the time it ends, you’ll be able to participate in the Summertide Scales and Tales event. Completing quests will net you the Fairytale Figurines costume for Kirara. Nilou’s costume, Breeze of Sabaa, will only be in the shop and you can get it at a discounted price until August 26, 2024. With the discount, it costs 1350 Genesis Crystals. After August 26, 2024, it will revert back to 1680 Genesis Crystals.
As for the banner characters, Navia and Nilou will be available on re-run. Their banners will last until August 6, 2024. During these banners, you’ll also have a higher chance of getting Kaveh, Kirara, and Ningguang. Their signature weapons—Verdict and Key of Khaj-Nisut—will also be available for a limited time. We already know that Emilie will be a new Dendro character, but she’ll be in the second phase, with Yelan re-running alongside her.
Other events
Like other summer events in Genshin Impact, Summertide Scales and Tales will feature a limited-time map. You’ll be able to hang out with everyone and complete quests in Simulanka. But outside of this event, there are other ones that will let you gain Primogems and Lucky Coins. They are:
- Outside the Canvas, Inside the Lens: Dew-Kissed Chapter: July 29 – August 8, 2024
- Genius Invokation TCG – The Forge Realm’s Temper: Endless Swarm: Entirety of Version 4.8
- Genius Invokation TCG – Heated Battle Mode: Tactical Formation: July 27 – August 12, 2024
Shop items
Finally, some items just require you to spend money (granted, Nilou’s outfit was paid currency only so she counts as a shop item too). Round 33 of Adventurer’s Booster Bundles will be available until July 31, 2024. You’ll be able to get items like Character Talent Materials and Mystic Enhancement Ore for your characters or weapons. There will also be a new BP Pass available. For this season, you can get the “Magical Forest Hut” Furnishing Blueprint and the Fanciful Fabrication namecard.
Genshin Impact is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Version 4.8 of Genshin Impact will go live on July 17, 2024.
