What's new in Genshin Impact 5.8

Here's everything that will be added in version 5.8:

• New character - Ineffa
• Rerun characters - Citlali, Chasca, and Mualani
• New weapons - Flame-Forged Insight and Fractured Halo
• Skins for Bennett and Yelan
• Events - Sunspray Summer Resort, Tracing Vanishing Trails, Mementos of Teyvat: Prelude of the Frozen Veil, Natlan: Plains of Flowing Flames, and Ley Line Overflow
• Areas - Easybreeze Holiday Resort and Mare Jivari (small part)
• Quests - Song of the Welkin Moon Archon Quest and Sunspray Summer Resort Story Quest
• Systems - Lunar-Charged Elemental Reaction, Asha (Saurian Indwelling), and Repertoire of Myriad Melodies
• Limited-time exploration and Archon Quest completion reward

Travelers must also remember that the new summer map will be added permanently to the game. However, the event rewards will only be available for a limited time, so it is best to get them before the event ends; otherwise, players may miss out on a new 4-star weapon, the free Bennett skin, and a lot of Primogems.

Besides the free rewards, players can look forward to the new Archon Quest. This will likely connect to the story in Nod-Krai, which will release in version 6.0.
