What's new in Genshin Impact 4.8?

Genshin Impact 4.8 update will officially launch in 6 weeks, while the gaming community is still engrossed in version 4.7, leakers have started releasing hot information about the content of version 4.8. Let's explore with Taimienphi the notable new features in this upcoming update.

What's new in Update Genshin Impact 4.8?

Genshin Impact 4.8 update brings many big changes, aimed at improving players' gaming experience. Here are the new highlights in this update:

1. New Maps
One of the most attractive features of each Genshin Impact update is the introduction of new maps for gamers to explore. Version 4.8 is no exception when it promises to bring a mysterious forest in the style of fairy tales. Leaker Seele has revealed that this map will be divided into three large areas with many origami, creating a colorful and enchanting scene.

Although there are no detailed information about the content and shape of this map, some previous leakers have shared that gamers may be able to ride dragons, including Durin in this area. This is an interesting idea and if realized, will bring a completely new experience to players. The testing of version 4.8 will begin soon, and we will have an exact answer about what this new map brings.

2. New character Emilie
Genshin Impact version 4.8 will introduce a new 5-star character named Emilie, a talented perfumer from Fontaine. Emilie is a Grass-type character who uses long-handled weapons and is equipped with the Unfinished Fantasy relic set. Leakers have revealed details about Emilie's skill set, showing that she has the ability to create a lantern with the ability to continuously shoot at nearby enemies, damaging Thao. This makes Emilie the Grass-type version of Fischl, a very popular character in the game.

However, unlike Fischl who can be used in any squad without any problems, Emilie has a major weakness in that her damage will be reduced by 90% when entering the Enhanced squad. This requires players to consider carefully when building a team around Emilie to take full advantage of her strength.

3. New skins for Nilou and Kirara
Genshin Impact 4.8 update will only have two new skins for Nilou and Kirara. Nilou's outfit is described as "princess style" with the main white color tone and still retains the familiar horns. This promises to bring a new and attractive look to Nilou, a character who is very loved for her beauty and charm.

Meanwhile, Kirara's new skin will have a 4-star rarity and will be given away for free from the main event of this version. The special thing is that gamers who do not own Kirara will also receive this monster cat as a reward from the event, giving many players the opportunity to experience this character without having to gacha.

4. New permanent game mode
Genshin Impact 4.8 will also introduce a new game mode, which is expected to become a permanent part of the game, similar to Am Tran Ca or Seven Saints Summon. However, this game mode will not give Primogems, but instead, the rewards will be special visual effects for the character as they move. This is a new idea and will bring interesting experiences to gamers.

Initially, gamers can unlock these effects for five characters: Diluc, Kirara, Ningguang, Qiqi, and Jean. According to leakers, Diluc will have red feathers, Jean will have dandelions, and Qiqi will have little ghosts. Ningguang and Qiqi's effects haven't been revealed yet, but are sure to please fans of these characters.

5. Reduce the difficulty of some Domains
In version 4.8, many domains in Liyue and Mondstadt will have their difficulty reduced to make it easier for players to farm materials. Specifically:

- Peak of Vindagnyr (Dragonspine): Reduces the difficulty of enemy formations.
- Hidden Palace of Zhou Formula (Liyue): Increases Cryo damage for your team by 75%; Reduces the difficulty of enemy formations; Removed penalty when using Overload reaction.
- Domain of Guyun (Guyun Stone Forest - Liyue): Removed penalty when using Melt reaction; adds shockwave that deals more damage when Superconduct reaction is activated; Reduces the difficulty of enemy formations.

These changes will help new players easily collect the necessary materials for characters and weapons, quickly keeping up with the progress of the game.

6. Eliminate Boss respawn time
Another important change in Genshin Impact4.8 version is the removal of World Boss respawn time. The long respawn time of World Bosses has caused trouble for many players. From update 4.8, players will no longer have to wait for the Boss to revive. After defeating the Boss and receiving the reward, you can teleport somewhere else and then come back to continue challenging. This helps save time and increases the efficiency of the process of farming materials for new characters.
