II. What To Expect

Genshin Impact 2.8 will be a big update with tons of additions, such as a new game event, the return of Golden Apple Archipelago, the new character Heizou, and more. Check out the next patch's features that can be shown in the upcoming Livestream Progam.

#1. All Banners

There isn't any new 5-star character in Genshin Impact 2.8. Instead, there are three old characters from Mondstadt and Inazuma who will come back in the next update. In specific:
  • Klee and Kazuha's rerun banners are available to pull in the first half. Shikanoin Heizou is the new 4-star Anemo character on both these banners.
  • Naganohara Yoimiya's rerun banners will be released in the second half of the next update.

Other old 4-star characters in these banners are still unknown. But Xinyan and Fischl can be subsidiary characters who also appear in the Summer Fantasia event in update 2.8.

#2. Fischl & Diluc New Skin

Fischl and Diluc will have new skins in Update 2.8. When the Golden Apple Archipelago was introduced for the first time in Update 1.6, Jean and Barbara got summer-themed skins. Therefore, players are expecting to get summer outfits for these two characters.

According to the meta of this game, players can get Fischl's skin for free while Diluc's skin may cost you Genesis Crystals. Moreover, players can get a free Fischl without having to pull from a big event in the next update as a reward.

#3. New Region

Golden Apple Archipelago will be re-introduced in Genshin Impact 2.8. It has four main islands and a lot of small isles surrounded by beautiful sandy beaches which are full of materials and ingredients to farm, such as crabs, flowers, eels, fish, etc.

Besides, Travelers can find lots of chests to loot, puzzles to solve, and challenges to complete in this new region to get materials and Primogems.

In addition, the new Golden Apple Archipelago in this upcoming version will have a beautiful abandoned castle to explore. The new event called "A Summer Sea Sojourn" will take place in this place.
