Genshin Impact 4.8 summer event map leaks and crumbs

The community has received new information from Seele Leaks about the upcoming Genshin Impact version 4.8 update. One of their leaks provides some insight into the summer event's map. The source has corrected one of their recent leaks about the map and claimed that the design will be based on a fairy-tale forest theme instead of a small island like Hawaii.

In addition, this forest-themed iteration is speculated to be larger than previous summer event maps. The rumors claim that there will be three massive regions to explore and will include tons of origami.

All of this aligns with the information shared by another reliable source, hxg_diluc, who disclosed the 4.8 summer event quest. With the event quest being related to fairy tales, it only makes sense that the limited map will also be based on the same concept.

Apart from the map leaks, hxg_diluc has unveiled other information about the upcoming Genshin Impact v4.8 summer event. It is speculated to be held by a Hexenzirkel witch but doesn't specify if it's Alice or someone else. The following characters are rumored to be involved in the summer event:

  • Durin
  • Kirara
  • Navia
  • Nilou
  • Scaramouche

Every summer event has released multiple character skins and recent leaks from Videreleaks suggest that version 4.8 will release skins for Nilou and Kirara in the upcoming summer event.

The developers are also rumored to test some gameplay mechanics such as dragon riding and many others currently unknown. While speculation suggests these mechanics may find a place in the Natlan region, there is currently no evidence to support it.
