The Special Program for Genshin Impact Version 5.8 will take place on July 18th at 8 AM EDT. During the stream, fans will get an in-depth look at the new game content coming with the Version 5.8 update. The update itself is expected to arrive on July 30th, when the current Version 5.7 events end. As always, the live stream will also feature redemption codes and “other goodies” for players to snag in-game.
Though the full details for the upcoming update will be covered with the Special Program, HoYoverse isn’t leaving fans hanging. We might have to wait on confirmation for those new character banners, but we do have some insight into what’s next. Along with the live stream announcement, a new Developer’s Discussion post delves into some of the new features headed our way with the next big Genshin Impact update. And travelers, it looks good.
New Features Arriving in Genshin Impact Version 5.8
Naturally, most players look forward to new character banners and new story chapters when a new update arrives. But the Version 5.8 update will also bring in some new features to streamline and improve gameplay. Though these might not be as shiny as new companions to recruit, these quality-of-life updates are part of what helps Genshin Impact stand the test of time.
For Version 5.8, Genshin Impact will add a new one-click time skip for quests. Players will be able to more easily click right to a quest objective and automatically skip time to the next quest event. This should make it easier to grind your way through quests as you rack up that Adventure XP.
