The Genshin Impact 3.8 livestream was broadcast on the official Twitch channel on June 23, 2023. It’s here where HoYoverse outlined all the new content and banners that would be coming to the game.

Genshin Impact 3.8 release date

The Genshin Impact 3.8 update was released on July 5, 2023, and is expected to end on August 16, 2023.

This gives Travelers a bit of time to save up those all-important Primogems to spend on the Phase 1 and 2 rerun banners and finish up any quests before diving into the new content.

Genshin Impact 3.8 banners

Eula is finally getting a rerun in the Genshin Impact 3.8 update.

Mika (Cyro)
Razor (Electro)

Klee & Kaeya skins

Klee and Kaeya will both get skins in the 3.8 update.
