While summer is generally a time Genshin pays a visit to Golden Apple Archipelago, this time around we are visiting this rainforest-like amusement park themed map. This map has it’s own way of terrain traversal (rollercoaster!) and a big carnival themed stage area in middle of it. The area is confirmed to have area specific puzzles, mini games, chests and map activities.

New Character Skins

Brand new 4 star skins for Kaeya and Klee were revealed. Klee’s outfit seemed to be a mage-like design which could resemble Alice’s design in the game’s future.

Klee’s skin will be available to purchase in the version 3.8 and will cost 1680 Genesis Crystals, much like the other 4 star skins of 5 star characters.

Kaeya on the other hand will receive a 4 star skin which can be redeemed by playing the 3.8 main event quest. His outfit is seems to have a more pirate inspired look.

Hangout Quest XI

Brand new hangout quest for Kaeya was announced too. As we know from the Archon quest, Kaeya is of Khaenri’an origin. Thus, we can speculate that players will receive some really juicy lore drops from his hangout story quest.

Fontaine Teaser

And lastly after the main event stream was over, Alice officially teased us with our first look at Fontaine. We also meet a brand new character. Underwater diving was confirmed to be a part of the game as teased in the previous livestream. We also see how diving works, underwater combat and puzzles. However, there is no confirmation whether we will be able to dive underwater with different characters of just the Traveler.
