    In this article, we will tell you when update 3.8 will be released for Genshin Impact, what new banners, events, quests, enemies and areas are waiting for players, as well as what weapons and cards for the Holy Call of the Seven will appear in the game. We will gradually update the article, so we recommend that you bookmark it.

    Note: Currently, the information below is based not only on the statements of the developers, but also on leaks and files mined by data miners and testers, so it is not 100% reliable and may change over time.

    Genshin Impact 3.8 release date

    HoYoverse has returned to a six-week release of new updates, so the release of the upcoming patch should take place July 5, 2023. He will be replaced version 4.0 around August 16 of the current year.

    You can preload the client a few days before its release. The developers will probably carry out technical work, which can last up to five hours. Players are usually compensated with 300 Source Stones.

    Live streaming of Genshin Impact 3.8

    Developers almost always organize special streams 1.5-2 weeks before the release of the next update. They are usually held on Friday-Sunday. For this reason, the 3.8 livestream is very likely to pass June 23-25 this year at 15:00 Moscow time. During it will be published promo codes for 300 primogems.

    New banners and characters

    Insiders say no new characters in this patch HoYoverse not going to add. Considering that the company has not yet introduced any new heroes, we can assume that we are really waiting for only reruns of the fighters already in the game (informants, by the way, have already leaked their list).

    First phase banners

    According to the dataminers, the following characters will be rerun in the first half:

    • 5-star - Eula (Cryo, two-handed sword) and Klee (Pyro, catalyst).
    • 4-star - Mika (Cryo, spear), Rosaria (Cryo, spear) and Razor (Electro, two-handed sword).

    Concerning weapon banner, then you should wait for the appearance of the two-handed sword Song of Broken Pines and the catalyst Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds in it.

    Second phase banners

    In the second half of the update, the following fighters can be rerun:

    • 5-star - Wanderer (Anemo, catalyst) and Sangonomiya Kokomi (Hydro, catalyst).
    • 4-star - Thoma (Pyro, spear), Faruzan (Anemo, Onion) and Yanfei (Pyro, catalyst).

    In the "Incarnation of the Deity" you will be able to get the catalysts of Tulaytullah’s Remembrance and Everlasting Moonglow.

    New skins

    Although there will be no new characters in this patch, the developers have prepared two new skins for the heroes already in the game. Insiders have already leaked images of the new skins. Klee will get a witch-themed costume. Its rarity is 4 stars, which means it will be sold in the store for 1350 Genesis Crystals (at a discount).

    Keiyu will be dressed up in a costume made in the style of Sumeru. Most likely, it will be possible to get it completely free of charge during some event related to this character. Later, it will also appear in the store and will be sold for 1680 crystals (no discount).

    Map change

    By tradition, a temporary region is added to the game in the summer, but this time, instead of the Golden Apple Archipelago, players are waiting for a completely new region - Penumbra (or Mirage Viluriam). Like the Achievement: Chasm or Encanomia, it will be located on a separate map, and it will be possible to get to it only as part of a special quest.

    It is noted that we are talking about the kingdom of Oceanid. By the way, here you can see the human form of one of these creatures named Idia. With it, most likely, the main storyline of the region will be connected.

    A map of this region with symbols has already appeared on the network. It is indicated that a huge amusement park with real roller coasters will be placed on its territory, and the latter will allow you to quickly move between locations. Insiders also showed several screenshots of the region.

    New Dungeons

    Information about two new dungeons has appeared: Dangerous Research and Vivid Thought Dance. Apparently, both are located in Penumbra and are associated with some kind of event.

    New tasks

    According to rumors, the developers may add a new Archon quest, which will be either in the last or intermediate volume. In the first case, this quest will turn out to be the final story mission related to Sumeru. Fontaine's arch will follow.

    Insiders have also revealed that a new Encounter will be released, during which gamers will be able to get to know Keiya better. The first screenshots of the mission were even leaked. On them, you can see that the Traveler will visit several regions with the captain of the Knights of Favonius (at least Liyue, Sumeru and Mondshadt).

    Genius Invokation TCG

    New cards

    Dataminers note that HoYoverse will add three new character cards: Candace, Kaedehara Kazuha, and Yanfei, as well as their talents. Plus, additional support cards will be added, the images of which can be found below.

    New events

    Main event

    Its exact name is still unknown. It is only clear that his actions will unfold on the territory of Penumbra. Eula, Klee, Sangonomiya Kokomi, Jean, Collei, Amber and Kaeya will play a big role in the plot. One of the rewards of the event will be the free 4-star heroine Layla (Cryo, one-handed sword).

    As part of the event, you will have to pass various Achievement: Challenger, including combat ones, thereby earning enchanting crystals, which can later be exchanged for mora and materials in the event store.

    Dangerous Research

    A combat event in which players have to fight against various monsters in order to help the researcher from Liyue. As a reward, you can get source stones, mora, and various materials.

    Adventurer’s Trials: Extended

    A rerun of the event of the same name, in which you will need to help Cyrus from the Adventurers Guild test several training missions prepared for beginners. The developers have expanded the list of tests.

    Unity of hearts

    Using the tracking mirror, you will need to help the scientist from Amurta, who is collecting data, find and return the animals involved in the experiment.
