First and foremost, there will be new Redeem Codes to use.

• New characters and their abilities, including Tighnari, Collei, and Dori who are confirmed for the roster
• Dendro showcase
• Sumeru showcase
• Various new events, such as Carving of Innocence

The full contents of the upcoming Special Program haven't been leaked yet. Whether there's a surprise thrown in or not is currently unknown. Travelers just need to remember that it will air at 8:00 AM (UTC-4) on August 13, 2022.
