Here is what the current leaks state about the Event Wishes for this upcoming 3.8 update:

  • 1st Phase: Eula and Klee
  • 2nd Phase: Kokomi and Wanderer

The above means the first Epitome Invocation in this update will feature Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds and Song of Broken Pines. By comparison, the second half will have Everlasting Moonglow and Tullaytullah's Remembrance.

Here is what Genshin Impact 3.8 leaks reveal about the featured 4-star characters appearing in this update's banners:

  • 1st Phase: Mika, Rosaria, and Razor
  • 2nd Phase: Thoma, Yanfei, and Faruzan

The first phase might coincide with Eula and Klee's Event Wishes, while the second one could include Kokomi and Wanderer's banners.


New map

The new temporary map has often been called Penumbra by some leakers. This leak above shows both the English and Vietnamese names of areas in the new Genshin Impact 3.8 region. Here is what they are in English:

  • Pavilion of Hermits
  • Silver Botter Courtyard
  • Overgrown Valley
  • Thinker's Theater

There are nine Teleport Waypoints in this area, one of which is underground. It is worth mentioning that this new region is only scheduled to be in Genshin Impact 3.8. The update after that is expected to remove it.

Current leaks also unveil that there will be rollercoasters on Penumbra, which the player will be allowed to board. More information regarding this feature is yet to be revealed, but it is worth mentioning that the model used for the rides is a placeholder.

Older leaks also show that there will be a circus-themed Domain and a character named Idyia.

All that's known about Idyia is that she's an NPC from Penumbra and is not currently planned to be playable any time soon. She's expected to be important to the upcoming Version Update's main event.
