HoYoverse is anticipated to release a brand new region within the upcoming Genshin Impact version 3.8. It is speculated the area is known as Penumbra, and it'll likely be an event-exclusive place for the flagship event within the next update. Several leakers have previously shared many images and videos online showcasing the landscape from the new region, including a theme park and a ride.
In addition, it's speculated the flagship event of Genshin Impact version 3.8 may be related to Oceanid, who players know as the overworld boss in Liyue.
Genshin Impact version 3.8 flagship event map Penumbra leaked
Based on the leak shared by HutaoLover77 via Twitter, HoYoverse will probably release a brand new event-exclusive region in Genshin Impact version 3.8, and it's supposedly called Penumbra. It could be seen within the video within the above post the geographical features of the new region are extremely much to the Sumeru rainforest.
According to Team China, Penumbra is equally as big because of the Golden Apple Archipelago and is encompassed by sand, which is evident within the leaked map. Furthermore, a part of the region includes a huge amusement park and ride.
The first image showcases the ride tracks from a bird's eye view. Meanwhile, the 2nd image shows the seats from the ride, and it's speculated that it's only a placeholder, which means the final product will probably be different. Naturally, this means that travelers will be able to ride them once the map is released.
A few more leaked images from SipSipStefen shows the underground regions of Penumbra that travelers will be able to explore. Interestingly, the ride tracks can also be observed in both images within the above post, therefore it can be assumed that they will probably cover the whole map, and Genshin Impact players may be able to utilize them for exploration.
Oceanid can make an appearance within the v3.8 flagship event
The above post by Mero shows the leaked image of an NPC called Idyia, who's speculated to become Oceanid. Several leakers strongly believe the upcoming event is associated with her, and she will probably play a significant role within the event story but will not be released like a playable unit in the future.
