Genshin Impact 4.8 Livestream Major Announcements to Expect

The Genshin Impact 4.8 livestream is expected to go live in early July 2024, following the pattern HoYoverse typically follows for such broadcasts and game updates. Historically, the developer has released new version updates approximately six weeks after the previous one, with the livestream taking place a few weeks before the update's release.

Here are the major announcements players can expect in the upcoming Genshin Impact 4.8 livestream:

New Character: Emilie

The 5-star Dendro character, Emilie, is slated to make her debut in version 4.8. With her drip marketing already revealed, the Genshin Impact 4.8 livestream will likely provide a comprehensive breakdown of her kit and abilities, and introduce her voice actor.

Nilou and Kirara Skins

Leaks have suggested that the popular characters Nilou and Kirara might receive skins in version 4.8. It is rumored that Nilou's skin will be available for purchase with real money, while Kirara's skin will be part of the Flagship event in version 4.8.

If these leaks hold true, players can expect official confirmations and details regarding these skins during the livestream.

Natlan Teaser

One of the most anticipated announcements during the Genshin Impact 4.8 livestream is the potential teaser for the Natlan region. With the release of version 4.7, players caught a glimpse of the creatures and environments of this Pyro Archon's realm.

Following the trend of teasing the upcoming region in the last patch of the newest nation, it is highly likely that HoYoverse will offer a tantalizing preview of Natlan during the 4.8 livestream.

Durin and Alice Cameo

According to leaks, the highly anticipated characters Durin and Alice may make an appearance in the upcoming Flagship event of version 4.8.

Durin is rumored to be a playable mount, which has been a long-awaited feature by fans. The Genshin Impact 4.8 livestream could potentially confirm the involvement of these pivotal characters, generating immense excitement among players.

Banner Reruns

Leaks have hinted at potential banner reruns for the popular characters Yelan, Navia, and Nilou. As these characters are currently highly sought after, HoYoverse is expected to officially confirm their banner reruns during the 4.8 livestream.

New Summer Event

As with previous updates, version 4.8 is expected to introduce a limited-time summer event. During the livestream, players can anticipate an overview of the event's features, mini-games, and potentially a glimpse of the limited-time area accessible during the update.

Imaginarium Theater Cosmetics

While the Imaginarium Theater game mode is set to be introduced in version 4.7, leaks have suggested that cosmetic items, such as the "Painted Voyage" character trails, could be part of this system in version 4.8.

The livestream may provide confirmation and details regarding these cosmetic additions.

With these exciting major announcements to expect, the Genshin Impact 4.8 livestream promises to be a thrilling event for players.
