- The brand-new, permanent Easybreeze Holiday Resort in Natlan offers a vibrant summer-themed map
- Introducing Ineffa, the new 5-star Electro polearm character
- Plenty of summer-themed events will also be available
Following the Version 5.7 update, Genshin Impact Version 5.8 fully embraces the summer season. Launching on July 30, the Sunspray Summer Resort invites you to the shores of Natlan's Easybreeze Holiday Resort—a new permanent map featuring spray-paint puzzles, sun-drenched minigames, and the series' first Nod-Krai character.
This lively island chain serves as Natlan's soft opening, welcoming back Bennett, Chasca, and Mualani for a relaxed adventure. Even Venti makes an appearance, reportedly to catch up with an old friend. Assisting your exploration is Asha, the cheerful resort mascot who grants unique traversal abilities like hovering and gliding across water.
These skills prove essential for uncovering hidden secrets and solving the intricate puzzles scattered throughout the resort's multi-level landscape. However, beneath the islands' sunny exterior lies a dormant threat: Bakunawa, the legendary creature of the Mare Jivari, waiting deep underground. Consult our Genshin Impact tier list to prepare for these exciting encounters!
During your adventure, you'll meet Ineffa, a 5-star Electro polearm wielder who begins the Song of the Welkin Moon storyline. Created by the enigmatic Aino of Nod-Krai, she introduces the new Lunar-Charged elemental reaction. Her deployable unit, Birgitta, amplifies her combat prowess by dashing through enemies and synchronizing with Thunderclouds to deal additional AoE Electro damage.
Additionally, the resort is packed with summer events. From rhythm parties and aquatic skirmishes to companion missions with Kau Kau and Akamai, you can earn Sunspray Spirit to unlock the 4-star claymore "Flame-Forged Insight" and Bennett's new outfit, "Adventures in Blazing Hue." Yelan also returns with a fresh Fontaine-inspired attire and special investigative tools.
To complete the package, this update introduces several system improvements, including smart material tracking, automatic quest navigation, and new tutorial videos integrated into character profiles to help you master the expanding roster.
