HoYoVerse shared the 5.8 Genshin Impact Special Program, and it confirmed the debut of Ineffa, shared a Yelan paid outfit and free Bennet costume, and teased Lauma and the Snezhnaya region of Nod-Krai for 6.0. The new update arrives on July 30, 2025. It also marks the debut of the Sunspray Summer Resort event and return of Citlali, Chasca, and Mualani.
We already knew Ineffa was on the way to Genshin Impact in 5.8 due to drip marketing. She’s an Electro character and robot. Her banner will appear alongside the Cryo returning Natlan unit Citlali. The second half of the update will feature Anemo character Chasca and Hydro unit Mualani.
Ineffa is a big focus of the major trailer for the update, and there are hints at her past in it. At the end, Snezhnaya, Marionette, Nod-Krai, and Genshin Impact 6.0 events are teased.
As for Lauma, a brief teaser for her, Nod-Krai, and the Snezhnaya Genshin Impact 6.0 update appeared in their own video. Lauma wears an outfit with shades of blue and has horns on her head. The video suggests one of her abilities might allow her to transform into a deer to run through environments.
When 5.8 arrives, there will be a number of new and returning events available between July and August 2025. The Sunspray Summer Resort is a big one, with the Natlan activity’s major reward being a Bennet Adventures in Blazing Hue costume. That involves a number of smaller minigames and challenges. Mementos of Teyvat: Prelude of the Frozen Veil will involve taking photos. Ley Line Overflow will return. It will also be possible to buy a Tranquil Banquet outfit for Yelan at a discount once it’s introduced in the update, with the price going up after.
This video looks briefly at all of those:
