GENSHIN IMPACT 5.8

Game information

Genshin Impact 5.8 takes players to a brand-new permanent location called the Easybreeze Holiday Resort, an island region filled with secrets, challenges, and story connections to Natlan. This update arrives with new characters, weapons, events, and long-awaited quality-of-life improvements. While it serves as a summer-themed content drop, it also sets the stage for upcoming adventures in future regions, making it an important bridge between current and next chapter expansions.

New Playable Characters And Banners

Two characters lead the character lineup for version 5.8. Ineffa, a new 5‑star Electro polearm user, makes her first appearance and brings unique abilities tailored to both single-target and multi-target encounters. Alongside her is the return of Citlali, a Cryo catalyst user who previously gained popularity for her versatile support and DPS potential. Both feature in limited-time banners, allowing players to choose between trying something new or reinforcing an existing team setup.
