Leaks have revealed exciting details about the upcoming Genshin Impact Version 4.8 summer event, including a new limited-time area and a cast of characters from across Teyvat.
Genshin Impact 4.8 Summer Event: Familiar Faces Gather in Simulanka!
Just like the festive Lantern Rite, Genshin Impact’s summer events are a highlight for many players. Version 4.8 continues this tradition, whisking players away to a stunning new location called Simulanka. Leaked screenshots showcase breathtaking visuals, hinting at a vibrant and immersive summer experience.
But the true stars of the show are the characters! Prominent leaker GuraLeak has unearthed in-game scenes featuring a surprising mix of heroes from various regions. The ever-curious Traveler and Paimon take center stage, interacting with Wanderer (Sumeru), Navia (Fontaine), and Kirara (Inazuma).

Story Beats and Potential Surprises
The leaks also offer intriguing story hints. The missing hat on Navia, a Fontaine character, suggests it might play a role in the event’s narrative. Additionally, rumors swirl about the event’s title: “The Summertide Scales and Tales.” Could this point towards a specific theme or even a new character story quest?
Free Character and Hidden Secrets
Speaking of characters, whispers suggest players can acquire the fiery Inazuma character Kirara for free during the event. Intriguingly, Keqing (Liyue) appears in leaked scenes but may be a placeholder. In Genshin Impact beta testing, developers sometimes use existing characters to stand in for those receiving new skins. Leaks hint at upcoming skins for both Nilou and Kirara, so Keqing’s presence could signify a summer makeover for Nilou.
While leaks should always be taken with a grain of salt, they offer a tantalizing glimpse into what awaits Travelers in Version 4.8. With a stunning new location, a diverse cast of characters, and potential story surprises, Genshin Impact‘s summer event promises to be an unforgettable adventure. Gear up your swimsuits and prepare to dive into Simulanka when Version 4.8 arrives!
