A recent leak from Genshin Impact is hinting at the lineup of events set to be featured during the Version 4.8 cycle, including several past events returning. The final update of the HoYoverse RPG's Fontaine cycle has already begun to see some early information surface about its contents. HoYoverse recently revealed the lone featured five-star character debuting during Version 4.8, with Emilie set to join Genshin Impact's roster as a Dendro polearm user. Now, the lineup of events for the last Fontaine update are being teased ahead of its release.
While HoYoverse has revealed little about Genshin Impact's next update, leaks have already begun to set the stage for Version 4.8. Much like other regions' last patches, Version 4.8 will introduce a new limited-time area to Genshin Impact, with the update's main event focused around the limited zone. The event's story has also been hinted at through early information, expected to center around the Hexenzirkel organization and potentially featuring the first in-game appearance of Alice. A new leak is now showing off plenty of events set to run during the update.
Genshin Impact Leak Teases Version 4.8 Events
New information shared by prominent Genshin Impact leaker Genshin_Intel is revealing the lineup of events planned for Version 4.8. The post teases the official name for Genshin Impact's newest limited-time area, referring to it as Simulanka and also references the leaked Nilou and Kirara skins. The Summertide Scales and Tales event will serve as the update's main event, granting players a free copy of Dendro four-star character Kirara as a reward. Several past events will also see re-runs during the update, including Bing-Bang Finchball, the light novel photography event, and Energy Amplifier.
- Five-star Dendro character Emilie
- New skins for Nilou and Kirara
- Simulanka map
- Summertide Scales and Tales event, granting Kirara as a free reward.
- Re-runs for Bing-Bang Finchball, Light novel photography event, and Energy Amplifier
- New characters Alice and Durin
Along with the multitude of events in Version 4.8, several characters are also teased to be involved in the update. Hexenzirkel member Alice, the mother of five-star Mondstadt character Klee, is expected to make an appearance alongside the introduction of long-rumored character Durin. Durin was first teased in Genshin Impact's Dragonspine area as the ancient dragon whose death corrupted the snowy mountain. Previous leaks have also hinted at past Genshin Impact characters involved with the update's story, including Navia, Nilou, Kirara, and Wanderer.
The leaks about Genshin Impact's newest limited-time area come as HoYoverse has given fans plenty to be excited about from its future updates. The recent release of Version 4.7 added the final playable members of Fontaine's main cast, with both Clorinde and Sigewinne joining the roster. HoYoverse has also begun to tease its next playable region, showcasing a brief teaser reel of the Natlan region during the Version 4.7 Special Program. The plethora of events planned for Version 4.8 looks to give one final sendoff to Genshin Impact's Fontaine cycle.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
