Countdown
Here is a countdown to when we can expect Genshin 4.8 to be playable in the UK, across PC, mobile, and PlayStation.
The patch – Summertide Scales and Tales – will add a new region to explore. As with previous summer events, this region will only be available for a limited time. If you’re a longtime Genshin enjoyer, you’ll have been looking forward to this for a long time. Instead of the Golden Apple Archipelago, we’re travelling to Simulanka for a casual side journey full of wonder. Alongside this, we’re seeing the addition of a new 5-Star character called Emilie and there’s a new paid outfit for Nilou.
