Since the Mare Jivari expansion wasn't released in version 5.6 or 5.7, fans had speculated that we might not get a new summer event in the 5.8 update. However, leakers have claimed that this version would be released with both a new summer event and the Mare Jivari map.

Based on these details, it seems that we may also be getting a new event map for version 5.8. However, we still do not know whether this area will be a temporary or permanent expansion. We will have to wait till the official confirmation by HoYoverse to learn more details about the upcoming version.

HomDGCat mentioned that the rumored main event for the 5.8 update would be the Sunspray Summer Resort.

Fans were speculating that only some World Quests and other events would be present in the upcoming v5.8. However, leakers have claimed that we would also get a new Archon Quest in this update. Furthermore, they have mentioned that this quest would serve as a prelude to the upcoming Nod-Krai region.

Apart from this, leakers have shared the kit and gameplay details of a 5-star Electro Character, Ineffa, speculated to be playable in version 5.8. Her Story Quest (SQ) is also rumored to be released in this version, with a completely new format.

Most Story Quests in Genshin are formulaic, and the plot twists are generally predictable. Players have been requesting a different format for these quests, and it appears that we may finally receive a unique SQ in version 5.8, if the latest leaks are to be believed.
