Despite the version 2.7 update that came out in the last few days, some Genshin impact players already have their eyes glued to the banners of 2.8. The reasons are many, ranging from interest in the upcoming character Heizou or budgeting for repeat banners of 5-star characters that they failed to get in the past, meaning jumping on the character banners in the Version 2.7. This guide will attempt to satisfy any curiosities players may have regarding patch 2.8 and the content it will likely include, using an aggregate of information sources ranging from official sources to leaks.
What we know about Genshin Impact 2.8 banners, leaks and its release date
By the way official sourcesThe patch update for version 2.8 will arrive on the July 13. Six weeks after the release of version 2.7, this follows the regular update cycle that each Genshin patch had except for 2.7 which suffered a delay.

About the characters, many leaks pointed to the release of character skins for Diluc and Fischl, Diluc's skin, in particular, being a five-star rarity skin that will feature new animations and special effects. Which naturally could also lead to the skin being sold at a higher price compared to skins released in the past.
As for the banners. Although Heizou is more than confirmed to be featured in a banner when patch 2.8 is released, it is unknown when and which characters will accompany him in this banner. There is reason to believe that the release window is in the first half of the patch, according to data miners.
The above information is related to the latest piece of information unearthed by data miners regarding patch 2.8, the release of a hideout quest for Heizou and a story quest for kazuha. Kazuha will likely return with a re-executed banner that may or may not feature Heizou in the 2.8 update. The reason is that there are assets shown from beta 2.8 by testers, where Kazuha and Heizou made in-person appearances.
This topic covers all currently available information regarding content that will likely appear in 2.8, Kazuha is a character that a lot of people are waiting for to return, while the Golden Apple Archipelago was an area that people had grievances in terms of its removal. And it looks like 2.8 could be set to address both aspects.
