Genshin Impact 2.8 Livestream Character Banners, Weapons, Event News

HoYoverse is currently holding this July 2 the Genshin Impact Version 2.8 livestream, officially revealing Shikanoin Heizou gameplay and all the new character banners reruns, weapons, and events coming in a few days. You can find our summary of the livestream below with all the details.

Genshin Impact Version 2.8 Summer Fantasia Trailer

As usual, for now, only the Japanese version of the trailer is available, and the English dubbed version will be uploaded soon on YouTube. Watch the trailer below:

New Story Quest

Version 2.8 will add a new story quest focusing on Kazuha and his family’s history as blacksmiths. This is something that was deeply explored in a past limited event in Version 2.6, so we’ll get to learn even more in 2.8. I highly recommend watching the event’s story cutscenes on YouTube through your favorite Genshin content creator if you didn’t play it yourself. It had highly important story details for the future most notably for Scaramouche.

Shikanoin Heizou Official Details Revealed – Vision, Weapon, Profile

Just as per the leaks, Heizou is a 4-star Anemo and Catalyst character. Heizou’s voice actor was revealed for the first time, he is voiced in Japanese by Yūichi Iguchi and Kieran Regan in English.

Heizou is a young prodigy detective from the Tenryou Commission, as in, he works for Sara. He has his own ways of doing things, and he’d rather be on the scene investigating than taking care of paperwork. Kazuha and Heizou are friends and there’s a “natural understanding” between the two. Heizou prefers to use his mind than physical violence and only uses it as a last resort.

Version 2.8 Character Banners Release Date Revealed

Genshin Impact Version 2.8 will be a full rerun patch, with a Kazuha banner rerun and a Klee banner rerun in the first half starting July 13, and a Yoimiya banner rerun in the second half starting August 3, 2022. Heizou will be available on Kazuha’s banner.
