Genshin Impact 2.8 will be released in just a few weeks, meaning players won't have to wait much longer to begin exploring the Golden Apple Archipelago. This update will mark the beloved area's return and expand the story of several of the game's most popular characters.
Users who have been waiting for Kaedehara Kazuha's return will also finally be able to summon him once again when the update releases.
Genshin Impact 2.8 update just two days away
Genshin Impact 2.8 concluded its preview livestream a few days ago, and gamers got a sneak peek at much of the content arriving during this new patch. The Summer Fantasia update will bring fans back to the Golden Apple Archipelago for another set of summer-themed adventures.
Readers can interact with characters like Fischl, Mona, Kaedehara Kazuha, and Xinyan throughout the event. Luckily for those who can't wait to return to the islands, the update is set to be released on July 13.
As usual, the game will have to undergo maintenance before the update is released, meaning users must wait through several hours of downtime until the expansion goes live. Thankfully, these maintenance downtimes are made up for by Primogem compensation that arrives once fans are able to re-enter the title.
Fans will also get some compensation Primogems for the bug fixes done during the maintenance.
Gamers can look forward to tons of free Primogems once the new version is released, thanks to these rewards. These will be helpful when summoning characters like Kaedehara Kazuha and Klee.
If the 2.8 update follows the usual schedule, the maintenance will likely begin around five hours before it is complete.
With the previous update schedule in mind, fans can expect the maintenance to begin at 6:00 pm EST/3:00 pm PST/11:00 pm GMT/6:00 am CST. Thanks to time zone differences, players in the Western Hemisphere may see the game go live on June 12, once the maintenance is concluded.
The downtime will last around five hours, though the update is often released a bit earlier. Once it goes live, fans can begin exploring the Archipelago for themselves, completing new quests, and gathering tons of treasure.
This timer should count down to the time that Genshin Impact 2.8 is released worldwide, though depending on maintenance times or delays, it may be available sooner or later. Either way, once this timer has concluded, gamers will finally be able to begin their summer adventure once more.
This update looks packed with content, and being the last one before the introduction of Sumeru, fans will want to ensure they have as many Primogems as possible.
Genshin Impact 2.8 will release in just a few weeks, so players won't need to wait much longer for this fun summer-themed update.
