All leaks we know so far about Genshin Impact 3.8

A Twitter-based leaker named Genshin Intel is known for posting detailed overviews of every upcoming update. Here are some of the most important things coming to the Genshin Impact 3.8 update:

• The temporary new region will be called Veliruyam Mirage. Travelers can also take part in an Oceanid-themed event. If they can complete the event, one of the rewards is a free Layla.

Detailed update overview: Maps, banners, and more

Penumbra

The Genshin Impact community was surprised when leaks revealed a new region in the 3.8 update. The map is themed in flora and fauna, making it look lush and green. Unfortunately, this map will only remain during the stay of the Genshin Impact 3.8 update.

The map is also rumored to have rollercoasters that Travelers can board to get around the map. However, this can only be confirmed once the update is released in July 2023. But, with multiple leaks, placeholders have been found in the Penumbra map, which might see the addition of an actual roller coaster later on.

Banners

As for banners, there are likely to be two phases. Both five-stars are reruns of crowd favorites in Genshin Impact. This may be because HoYoverse plans on introducing new characters to the roster in the next major update that will also feature the region of Fontaine.

The first phase will feature Eula and Klee’s event wishes, while the second will be focused on Kokomi and Wanderer.

• Phase 2: Thoma, Yanfei and Faruzan
