Genshin Impact Version Luna VIII ‘Sunny Summer Fontinalia’ Launches on July 1

HoYoverse has announced that Genshin Impact Version Luna VIII “Sunny Summer Fontinalia” will launch on July 1. The new version features the return of Sandrone and the Frost Moon as a new permanent area. 

Sandrone, the Seventh of the Fatui Harbingers, returns as a 5-star Cryo Claymore wielder. After a tense first encounter, players witnessed her selfless sacrifice in the fierce battle against The Doctor, helping Columbina and the Traveler secure victory. Now that she has come back, the truth of resurrection will finally be revealed. Stellar-Conduct, a brand-new Cryo-Electro reaction, will also be available. When triggered by certain Cryo and Electro characters, the surrounding area will briefly transform into a Polestar Field. The field can store excess Cryo and Electro energy and convert it into buffs. It can also increase the Stellar-Conduct DMG, as well as Cryo DMG and Electro DMG dealt by all characters within its range, while also reducing opponents’ Physical RES. Certain existing Cryo and Electro characters can also receive unique enhancements while within the field.

Players will also board a spacecraft and set foot on the moon, where a vast new region awaits exploration. The moon is home to many breathtaking sights unlike anything seen in Teyvat. This includes a luminous yet treacherous lunar sea and a space station suspended in outer space. In addition, majestic ancient ruins await exploration, revealing more hidden stories tied to the ancient dragon race. Players can also traverse various types of terrain and manipulate the local gravity. Alongside the several other additions of Version Luna VIII, a new summer-themed lobby and outfits will be available.
