A new Genshin Impact leak shows a couple of in-game screenshots taken from a new region that will arrive in update 3.8. Since Sumeru officially arrived in 3.0, the game has been adding new parts of the map approximately every two updates.
Genshin Impact version 3.6 has introduced two new sub-regions named Gavireh Lajavard and Realm of Farakhkert which are part of the famous Sumeru desert. Both of these expansions contain tons of new content including new quests, NPCs, and enemies. It seems like HoYoverse plans to introduce one new sub-region before the official arrival of the fourth major region, Fontaine.
Recent leaks have been hinting at a new part of Teyvat that should arrive in the upcoming Genshin Impact version 3.8. A new post on the popular Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit has revealed images of a new sub-region that players will be able to access in the next update. While HoYoverse is yet to officially confirm this region, fans speculate that it will be a limited region, similar to the new parts of the map that arrived during the Golden Apple Archipelago events back in updates 1.6 and 2.8. However, unlike the archipelago that was part of two previous GAA events, it seems like the new limited region will look much more like Sumeru's rainforest.
Another set of Genshin Impact leaks has revealed that this limited region is named Penumbra. The Golden Apple Archipelago is one of the main annual events in Genshin Impact which introduces tons of new content. The first GAA was arranged by one of the most legendary characters in the game, Alice, also known as Klee's mother.
This is one of the two events in the game that always introduces new outfits for some of the units on the playable roster. During this Summer-themed event, players can explore a limited region and meet several characters from the roster while completing a set of simple Genshin Impact quests.
According to another set of leaks, the Pyro user Klee will receive a brand-new outfit in Genshin Impact update 3.8 and many fans suspect that Alice could finally make an official appearance in the game. However, the fact that there are still no leaks about Alice's appearance has led many players to believe that Alice's official arrival is reserved for another update in the future.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
