HoYoverse announced Genshin Impact version 3.8 launches on July 5 featuring new events and returning characters. Version 3.8 appears to be the last major update before the Fontaine region is finally introduced in version 4.0. The latest trailer reveals all of the new content coming soon with a sneak peek at Fontaine.
The Veluriyam Mirage will open in Genshin Impact version 3.8, allowing players to explore a new area with two new modes. Moreover, four summer special events and attractions may be found in Veluriyam Mirage. While exploring Veluriyam Mirage, players may collect Joyeux Voucher to redeem various rewards. Players may also enjoy “The Forge Realm’s Temper: Endless Swarm” mode for Genius Invokation TCG and summon returning characters from reprised event wishes. No new characters will be added in version 3.8, but this may be an opportunity to summon fan-favorites before version 4.0 arrives.
Here’s an overview of Genshin Impact version 3.8, via HoYoverse:
Genshin Impact Version 3.8 “Secret Summer Paradise”
Consisting of high hills, forested valleys, dark caves, and a myriad of amusement facilities, a brand-new area called the Veluriyam Mirage awaits visitors this summer in Teyvat. Players may fully explore the Mirage with two open-world game modes: the Choo-Choo Cart that ferries passengers throughout the area with exciting roller-coastering experiences, or the Preprint mode that teleports people into a two-dimensional world to unlock hidden puzzles and treasures. As players explore this area, they can collect Joyeux Vouchers to redeem various rewards, including Kaeya’s new outfit.
Four summer special events and attractions can also be found across the Veluriyam Mirage. These amusements offer more bonuses, which include the chance to recruit Layla for free. “Spino Blaster” features a water cannon shooting game, and “Dance of Flashing Thought” provides more combat challenges with different features. Participants can control a little Barking Fox and take part in an aerial speed race in the “Sojourns of the Barking Fox” event, or try their hand at a revamped shuffle-board game in the “Bing-Bang Finchball” event.
Meanwhile, Version 3.8 will reunite old friends with their reruns and showcase some new outfits. Event Wishes will see the return of Klee and Eula in the first half of the update, and bring back Sangonomiya Kokomi and Wanderer in the latter half. Furthermore, Klee and Kaeya will receive their new outfits, and Kaeya will finally have his Hangout Event in the new version.
Genius Invokation TCG also embraces more content, including a new PvE mode “The Forge Realm’s Temper: Endless Swarm” that features endless waves of enemies within a limited number of rounds, and three new Character Cards: Candace, Yanfei, and Kaedehara Kazuha.
