HoYoverse has announced that Genshin Impact version 3.8 Secret Summer Paradise will release on July 5, and it has shared the first look at the Nation of Fontaine.
The 3.8 reveal trailer showed off everything players can expect when the update launches next month, including a brand-new limited-time area called Veluriyam Mirage just in time for summer. This area is filled with forested valleys, dark caves, and a myriad of amusement facilities, and can be explored with two open-world modes: the Choo-Choo Cart and Preprint mode.
The first ferries passengers throughout the area with a roller-coaster experience, while the latter teleports people into a two-dimensional world to unlock hidden puzzles and treasures. While exploring the Veluriyam Mirage, players can collect Joyeux Vouchers to redeem various rewards, including Kaeya's new outfit.
Four special events can also be found in the area--which offer more bonus rewards, including the chance to recruit Layla for free--such as Spino Blaster, Dance of Flashing Thought, Sojourns of the Barking Fox, and Bing-Bang Finchball, each with their own unique challenges.
Of course, with every major update comes a new Event Banner, and 3.8 will reintroduce Klee and Eula in the first half of the update, followed by Sangonomiya Kokomi and Wanderer. Alongside the earnable Kaeya outfit, players can get their hands on Klee's summer-themed fit, too.
