Genshin Impact 2.8 Update Summer Fantasia Arrives On July 13th

Hoyoverse announced the next big content update for Genshin Impact would be released on July 13th. Version 2.8, dubbed "Summer Fantasia," will restore the Golden Apple Archipelago, a zone created by Hoyoverse to bring new plotlines and objectives for players to fulfill. Finishing the accompanying objectives will grant you the opportunity to add Fischl, a four-star playable character, to your party for free.

Furthermore, as part of the game's upcoming Resonating Visions event, you'll be able to gather conch shells that you may later sell for a Fischl costume. The shells will also offer more information about the game's plot. Separately, the update includes new sailing tasks that you may do with your pals, as well as a new playable character named Shikanoin Heizou. According to the Hoyoverse, he was Genshin's first melee catalyst user. Shikanoin may provide additional damage to foes who are hit by elemental assaults.
