The many details for Genshin Impact 4.8, including its definitive release date, new characters, banner lineup, story updates, and events, have all been revealed, a few weeks ahead of the arrival of the patch itself. Version 4.8 is expected to be the final six-week patch before the release of Version 5.0 and, consequentially, the arrival of Natlan to the playable areas of the current Teyvat map. While the nations release is the most important upcoming piece of content, players will still have to wait a bit more before they get to explore Natlan in Genshin Impact.
