Genshin Impact 2.8 will be released on July 13th 2022 as leaked. This will be a major update with lots of new features and a re-run. Here are the top 5 highly anticipated features in this upcoming update. See below.

List of New Features for Genshin Impact 2.8

Genshin Impact players' waiting is finally over as the developers have finally released a new announcement regarding the 2.7 and 2.8 updates.

In a comforting statement, the developers have finally decided to ease player anxiety and revealed maintenance dates for the next two versions.

Even though the English version of Genshin Impact's social media was a little late in conveying this news, it was still conveyed to the entire community as it quickly spread in the game. Here are the maintenance dates for versions 2.7 and 2.8 in Genshin Impact.

Big Run banner

The most anticipated feature in Genshin Impact 2.8 is the replay banner of Kaedehara Kazuha, one of the most favorite characters in the game right now. Additionally, Genshin Impact players and especially fans of these characters look forward to exploring further parts of the story.

In addition, players also have the opportunity to attract strong characters, such as Yoimiya and Klee. The adorable girl Klee from Mondstadt is also one of the most likeable characters who fits better in the game's new meta.

Golden Apple Islands

Many players are also expecting a replay of the stunning Golden Apple Islands in Genshin Impact 2.8. When the developers added this location to the game world in a very long update last year, the islands brought players lots of exciting activities, quests, puzzles and treasures.

In addition, this sub-location is also the first place where players ride the Waverider for the first time. Therefore, it is a place where players have many fond memories of this game. Besides, you can explore more hidden stories of the Golden Apple Islands.

Sumeru Teaser

Sumeru is likely the fourth country explored in Genshin Impact after Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma. This Dendro Nation has been leaking for a long time and seems to be coming soon. Genshin Impact will be releasing more details and stories about this new nation during Genshin Impact 2.8.

Most likely Genshin Impact 2.8 will be the last update before Sumeru arrives. Therefore, players will get new elements and new characters with new Dendro elements in the upcoming updates in September or later.

New Domains

Genshin Impact 2.8 will have amazing new events, quest chains, and domains. There are many new domains of Fischl, Mona, Kazuha, and Xinyan leaked out. These four domains will be rewarded abundantly with exciting combat challenges, puzzles and hidden stories.

You can also get lots of Primogel and materials to draw and build new characters or reruns. Each domain has a different structure, theme, enemies and gameplay. You can also use these characters in their best builds and test their highest damage.

Shikanoin Heizou

Shikanoin Heizou is of course the most eagerly awaited character in Genshin Impact 2.8. This new Anemo character has some buffs in his Elemental Burst with changes in Constellation 2.

If she is released under the same flag as Kazuha, you should save Primogems and try to get a strong Anemo team in the next update. This handsome character is also the first Genshin Impact child to use a very impressive catalyst.

JP Genshin Impact's Twitter account was the first to release the information on their social media, following up with EN Twitter almost 30 minutes later.

While the timing for version 2.8 hasn't been officially announced, players can expect it starting at 06:00 (UTC+8), just like the previous update in Genshin Impact. Each treatment is predicted to be completed within 5 hours.

The developers also make special note that the banner Ayaka Currently, the Weapons Event banner, and Trials event will end on May 31 at 05:59 (UTC+8), one minute before maintenance begins.

You can expect the countdown time displayed on the Wish screen and the Event Overview page to be adjusted within a few hours.

The last piece of valuable information included in the announcement is that maintenance of the Placement Function in the Serenite Pot will also end after the Version 2.7 update is complete. This really relieved the community because they really wanted the maintenance to be over quickly so they could continue to be creative at the Serenitea Pot.

Furthermore, note that one of the current events, 'Spices From the West,' will remain available, even after the 2.7 update, and will only end on June 7, a week after maintenance ends.
