The broadcast date for Genshin Impact 2.8 is scheduled for the coming days, and we already have new information on characters, banners, events, and more.

Genshin Impact players are looking forward to Update 2.8, which should introduce a lot of new content to the game. Genshin Impact leaks, on the other hand, keep coming, revealing new facts about the game.

There have been many beta 2.8 leaks revealing critical facts about the next Genshin 2.8 patch such as new characters, banners, enemies, events and more. Additionally, HoYoverse has revealed new character information that will be included in Genshin 2.8.

A lot of interesting information about version 2.8 is expected to be revealed during the next Genshin Impact 2.8 livestream, so fans are expecting to see new events, boss, and banners during the Genshin 2.8 livestream.

We don't have any official information about the livestream as of today, although there have been a few predicted leaks. So, let's dive into the Genshin Impact 2.8 Broadcast specifics, such as where to watch it and what to expect in terms of banners, characters, and events.

Genshin Impact 2.8 Live Broadcast Date

Several leaks have suggested that the Genshin 2.8 update will include Heizoso the players are well aware of it. Also, since HoYoverse made it public for players, it's safe to assume that the character will be included in patch 2.8.

However, HoYoverse will be streaming live until the release of the new patch, and as usual, players will be able to watch the stream until the release of Genshin Impact 2.8.

While travelers can look forward to version 2.8, the same can be said for live streaming. The Genshin Impact 2.8 Special Program has yet to be announced, and gamers are ready for their calculated guesses.

The 2.6 live stream took place on March 18, 2022, while the 2.7 live stream took place on May 20, 2022, two weeks before the Genshin Impact servers update. If we go by the previous models then players should expect the 2.8 livestream to start sometime in late June or early July 2022.

July 1st could be a possible livestream date for Genshin Impact 2.8.

On Fridays, developers usually release a special program for the next version of the game, however, players should keep in mind that an official announcement from HoYoverse is still pending.

Where to Watch Genshin Impact 2.8 Live Stream

In addition, during the Genshin 2.8 broadcast, HoYoverse will also provide new Codes to obtain about 300 primogems.

Genshin Impact 2.8 Live Stream Time

Genshin Impact 2.8 - Leaks

Famous insider Genshin, genshin intel shared a small overview of the various features and elements that will be seen in the Genshin 2.8 update, and according to the leaked information, players will receive:

• Islands relaunch
• Dreamlike Visions Event (Echoing Tales v2)
• Knowledge of Dilyuk
• Dilyuk skin (5★) and Fischl skin (4★)
• Secret War (Dungeon Battles at Dawn Distillery)
• Heizo meeting
• Kazuha Chapter I
• Evermotion Mechanical (puzzle mini-game)

Genshin Impact 2.8 - Update Art

Recently Ubtacha, a well-known whistleblower, has shared Genshin Impact 2.8 official art featuring 4 characters: Kazuha, Mona, Xin Yan, and Fischl.

Players are excited about the official design of the next patch 2.8 update that has been leaked, and "Summer Fantasy" is the name of the upcoming update.

Many gamers have noticed a collection of islands behind them in the background, which could be a sign for the return of the Golden Apple Archipelago, which will be released alongside the 2.8 patch in Genshin Impact.

According to the art, we should expect a repeat of Kazuha's banner and a new skin for Fischl, but nothing has been officially announced. However, we do know the name of the next Genshin 2.8 update - summer fantasia.

Each version update has a unique name, for example version 2.7 is named "Glamors of the Hidden Depths”, and the upcoming patch will be completely summer.

Genshin Impact 2.8 Characters

Sikanoin Heizo is one of the game's unreleased characters that has been the subject of numerous leaks. Fans have been anticipating his appearance in the game for quite some time, and the actual announcement comes as a welcome relief.

Heizo is Sara's colleague and (self-proclaimed) detective of the Tenre Commission who has been mentioned numerous times by other characters in the game. Kamisato Ayaka and his distant older relative Kano Nana originally mentioned Heizo in their voice lines.

Heizo, Unruffled Calm, is a Tenre Commission detective, the first male Catalyst and the leader of the Anemo element.

Heizo will be the last character from Inazuma to be available in the 2.8 release, according to several known leaks. In addition, Heizo's statistics have also been released:

• Weapon: Catalyst
• Rarity: 4 stars
• Attack: 225
• HP: 10657
• Protection: 684
• Ascension: Anemo Damage 24%

However, it remains to be seen how correct these leaks are.

Genshin Impact 2.8 Banners Leaked

So far, there has been no specific announcement regarding Genshin Impact 2.8 banners or which characters will be featured in the upcoming banner. However, according to leaked data, gamers may notice some interesting characters in 2.8 banners.

Previous leaks have shown that there will be no new 5-star characters in the update, which is entirely possible. Also, a new Genshin 2.8 banner leak has revealed characters that will be re-launching in a future patch.

Recently new Genshin Impact 2.8 banner leak was posted by @Lumie on Twitter talking about the characters that will appear in the 2.8 banners and the phases in which they will appear. The following Genshin Impact 2.8 banners are expected, according to leaks.

• Clee banner repeat
• Kazuha's banner repeat
• Emiya's banner repeat

Lumi noted that Genshin Impact 2.8 Phase 1's banners will feature Klee and Kazuha. Whereas Emiya's replay will be given in Phase 2 of the update.

A source in her post wrote, "[2.8] Klee and Kazuha in the first half with the Lost Prayer + Pledge of Freedom."

According to the source, there are two banners in Phase 1 of the Genshin 2.8 update, and Heizo will only appear in Phase 1 of 2.8 because he is a 4-star character that will get a huge drop rate boost.

July 13, 2022 Genshin 2.8 update will be released, and that date will be 6 weeks after the release of version 2.7 as announced by HoYoverse.

Usually, any in-game event prayers last 21 days, so based on this information, the upcoming ones should have the following release dates:

• Genshin Impact 2.8 Phase 1 will begin on July 13, 2022.
• Genshin Impact 2.8 Phase 2 will start on August 3 or 4, 2022 (depending on the first banner).

Prior to the Genshin 3.0 update, we have many characters left to replay, including Klee, Kazuha, Emiya, Itto, and Shen He.

However, it remains to be seen who will actually appear in the Genshin 2.8 banners.

Genshin Impact 2.8 region - Golden Apple Archipelago Leak

The current version of Genshin Impact 2.7 included some expanded areas of a brand new territory called the Rift, and 2.8 leaks have revealed that version 2.8 will bring back the missing region.

There are many regions in the title that should be revealed in the main game, and new leaks say that one of these regions, the Golden Apple Archipelago, will be seen in the Genshin 2.8 update, which will be the last patch before version 3.0.

Blank, the well-known whistleblower of Genshin Impact, has shown some intriguing images of the new location that will be included in version 2.8. With Encanomia published in 2.4 and Rift in 2.6, version 2.8 will likely offer players a new part of the map.

Steam island is the name of the new region in Genshin 2.8, which consists of several small islands. The leaked GAA image depicts a model of a castle perched on a pair of rocks, and the leak claims that players will be able to enter its interior.

According to many sources, this new region will be limited to Genshin Impact version 2.8. However, the data miners also revealed that “the description of the Statue of Seven for [(test) island] appeared in beta text. But for now, there is no certainty that the Golden Apple Islands will be permanent.”

Genshin 2.8 Twinning Isle castle

The Golden Apple Archipelago is not a new title for Genshin Impact veterans, as the location was originally released in 1.6.

The Golden Apple Archipelago was the biggest summer festival in the game, with beaches, boating, and other fun activities. It would be interesting for players to stay on the islands for the whole summer.

However, according to Sagiri, the tropical region will be changed to reflect the new event.

• “As the event progresses, the GAA land mass will change/shift,” the insider stated. "It's not that more islands are being added." Double Double Island" for example has been modified at least 3-4 times and the map file is called DreamIsland. As travelers return to sunny shores, there will most likely be new methods and styles of play to play and learn from.

If the leaks are to be believed, 2.8 Steam Island is likely to be the final expansion of the map before the first new major region arrives in Genshin Impact 3.0. It has been suggested that the new region is the mysterious Sumeru, which consists of many deserts and forests.

Genshin Impact 2.8 domain leak

Recently, credible whistleblower BLANK posted a series of new Genshin Impact 2.8 leaks on his Discord channel. BLANK has posted numerous images of the new island domains coming with Genshin patch 2.8.

The Genshin 2.8 GAA leak also reveals new GAA domain names - "Phantom Realms" - assigned to the following characters:

• Xin Yan
• Mona
• Kazuha
• Fischl

Genshin Impact 2.8 - Xin Yan Realm Leaked

The Genshin 2.8 leaks revealed new Xin Yan domain images in 2.8, of which several were only discovered in the early stages of the 2.8 beta, but we didn't know what they were for.

Xin Yan will have his own 2.8 GAA Phantom Realm, which will be significantly different from others.

Genshin Impact 2.8 - Mona's Realm Leaked

The leaked photos have been shared on social media, and one of the new domains is Mona's Phantom Realm, as the aesthetic seems to match Mona's character design, with numerous colors of blue and starry skies.

Players have mentioned that the 2.8 GAA Mona domain style matches the Twisted Abyss and several Artifact Domains when discussing this.

In addition to the domain, Genshin Impact 2.8 leaks have revealed several photos of Mona's house, and it has been indicated that players will be able to enter her apartment.

Genshin Impact 2.8 - Kazuha's Realm Leaked

In the latest batch of leaked Genshin 2.8 GAA photos, we have the Phantom Realm of Kazuha.

Kazuha's tenure appears to take place in a ruined house, and many in the community speculate that it is related to his old house, which the character's family was forced to sell.

Now, each of these Genshin Impact 2.8 domains looks incredible, and there are some other ideas that claim that these domains are associated with every character that can appear in the Golden Apple Archipelago event, and this also includes Yun Jin.

Genshin Impact 2.8 Events

With the 2.8 update, players have a lot of expectations in terms of events, and a new leak suggests that players will receive a fair amount of tasks and quests in the upcoming patch.

According to leaked information, various events will be returning in the Genshin Impact 2.8 update along with several new quests and events.

Initial Genshin 2.8 leaks revealed that a major summer event was planned for the upcoming patch, however new leaks have revealed some new additions to the roster.

Genshin Impact 2.8 events leak includes:

• Summer Odyssey [Summer Sea Stay] - 2.8 GAA event
• Resonating Visions [Fairy Visions Event]
• Secret War (Dungeon Battles at Dawn Distillery)
• Hidden Fight [Fischl]
• Encounters [Heizo Quest]
• Acer Palmatum [Kazuha Story Quest "Acer Palmatum Chapter: Act I"]
• Mechanical painting Evermotion
• reminder mode

Genshin Impact 2.8 Summer Odyssey

The Genshin Impact Summer Odyssey event is the main event in version 2.8, according to a Genshin Impact source @GenshinIntel.

What's more, the leak says that A Summertime Odyssey (Summer Islands v2) rewards with event currency (something similar to Shiny Flotsam in 1.6) and free Fischl can be redeemed using 2020 event currency.

Possible characters that will come with the Summer Odyssey event:

• Fischl
• Kazuha
• Xin Yan
• Yun Jin
• Mona
• Venti
• Xiangling
• Nahida

Players can rearrange the islands in the Summertime Odyssey, which is simply a iteration of the Golden Apple archipelago, to solve mysteries or just for fun. Players will be able to change the land by choosing one of three alternatives, which will then be presented on the map.

Genshin Impact 2.8 Resonating Visions Event and Secret War Event

We don't know much about the Resonating Visions event or the Secret War (dungeon battle at Dawn Distillery), but it has been said that Diluc and the Distillery are in danger and will need the Traveler's help to defeat their enemies.

According to leaks, Hoyoverse will be debuting a new Diluc skin during this event dubbed Secret War (probably a replacement name).

This is a happy day for both Fischl and Diluc, as the creators are about to release new skins for each of them.

In addition to the data, the leaks also revealed new sketches of Diluc's outfit.

We also have Kazuha's story quest scheduled for v2.8 along with the Archons and Encounters quest.

Genshin Impact 2.8 Kazuha's Story Quest - "Acer Palmatum Chapter: Act I"

According to the leaks, Kaedehara Kazuha's Acer Palmatum Chapter: Act I quest and Heizo's Encounters will also be released in version 2.8.

In addition to skins, players will also be rewarded with new swords upon completion of the event quests. Genshin_Intel revealed that "the new 4* sword is one of Kazuha's final quest rewards. This sword cannot be upgraded. Rumor has it that the sword will get its name at the end."

It's been rumored for some time now that Kazuha's banner will be the same as his story mission, so it's only natural to mark this as "subject to change." However, Kazuha's replay is definitely what everyone is waiting for, and this Genshin Impact 2.8 leak hints at the same.

Kazuha, who debuted 10 months ago in the game, is a 5-star Anemo character. Although he hasn't received much attention in the past due to Venty's presence, the changing dynamic has players relying on DPS anemo characters like Kazuha. Thus, it is obvious that his replay is one of the most anticipated events of the game.

Genshin Impact 2.8 Heizo and Fischl Encounters

Ubatcha previously stated that there will be three consecutive events in 2.7, 2.8 and 3.0 Meeting in sequence, and each of these events will be associated with a new 4-star and an existing character.

Speaking of the Genshin Impact 2.8 Encounter event, recent leaks have revealed the description of the event. The information says:

“The best way to understand someone is to spend time with them, whether it’s an old friend or a new acquaintance…”

Now, recent leaks suggest that the Fischl Encounter event will be known as Hidden Strife.

Genshin Impact 2.8 Mini Events

Along with the above, we also have some interesting little mini-games that travelers can experience in both solo and co-op campaigns. According to leaked data, some of these Genshin 2.8 minigames are:

• Surfpiercer Challenge
• Reminiscent Moden
• Evermotion Mechanical (puzzle)

The leaks have also revealed what players will have to do in order to complete the Genshin Impact 2.8 minigames.

• Surfpiercer Challenge

This Surfpiercer Challenge mini-game is related to Breakwater and participants will get special boat skills. It appears to be a time trial in which players have to get from point A to point B in a certain amount of time, collecting things along the way.

• Reminiscent Moden

This Reminiscent Moden mini-game can be played solo or in co-op mode. Convoy, Raid and Absale are the three main themes. Players can complete numerous events and challenges in solo and co-op sessions based on these themes.

Completing them will allow players to accumulate the necessary points to receive the corresponding rewards.

• Evermotion Mechanical

Players have to place all the mechanical painting pieces in the exact spots in this Evermotion Mechanical Painting mini-game. To finish painting, players can rotate the elements to the appropriate angle or move them to precise positions.

Players will be properly rewarded if they complete the painting.

Skins in Genshin Impact 2.8 update

We've been getting new skins and outfits for characters in the game since the 2.4 update, and with version 2.5 HoYoverse introduced the Genshin Impact 2.5 alternate outfit for Ember, Genie, Rosaria, and Mona.

Now, getting new character skins has been a hot issue in the Genshin community for quite some time, and leaks have stated that the Genshin Impact 2.8 update will also include the following skins.

@Dimbreath stated that there are two new entries in the skins section, one for 5* and one for 4*. In addition, files pointing to a "special effects" Dilyuk skin were recently discovered by dataminers, and it has been stated that HoYoverse will also be offering a free 4-star skin similar to previous cosmetic releases.

According to new information revealed, the upcoming Genshin Impact 2.8 update will likely bring 2 more new character skins to the game. These two new skins are:

• Skin Diluka
• Skin Fischl

While we don't have official data, well-known insider Genshin, ubatcha revealed the possible names of the skins in both English and Chinese. According to the leak, the names of these new skins are as follows:

• Dilyuk - "Red Dead of Night"
• Fischl - "Ein Immernachtstraum"

It has been claimed that Fischl's skin name "Ein Immernachtstraum" is the German name for Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Not only did the leaks reveal the name of the Genshin 2.8 skins, but also a possible outfit look leak.

Genshin Impact 2.8 Weapon Leak

The latest leaks have revealed that we'll be seeing the new Genshin 2.8 weapon in the game - which is currently called "It's a Sword".

The new sword Genshin Impact 2.8 initially had "broken" stats, with a base ATK of 542 and a secondary ATK of 41,3 percent. The base of the ATK sword has been reduced to 510 with a recent nerf, like all other 4 star swords with better secondary stats.

Now, while this unknown weapon has yet to be given its own name, below are the specs of this new Genshin 2.8 weapon:

1. Rarity - 4 stars
2. Base ATK - 510
3. ATK - 41,3%
4. Passive rank 1

“When a Normal, Charged, or Dive Attack hits an enemy, it summons a Hewing Gale that deals an AoE DMG equal to 180% ATK and increases ATK by 15% for 8 seconds. This effect occurs every 8 seconds."

Many people assumed that the weapon would be a new sword that would defy all the attack-to-substrate ratio rules of the previous weapon, but this is not the case.

Unlike some of the other free weapons obtained through event trials, a fresh leak claims that the new Genshin 4 2.8-Star Sword is one of the completion rewards that players will receive after Kazuha's new chapter.

These are all the details that have been revealed so far regarding the upcoming Genshin Impact 2.8 update, including the release date, characters, banners, maps, new domains, and more.

The data, however, comes from 2.8 leaks, which are subject to change given that the 2.8 patch still has a long way to go. So, until HoYoverse officially releases details about the Genshin 2.8 update, gamers should take it with a grain of salt.
