Genshin Impact 2.8 leaks: Shikanoin Heizou banner

Whether Heizou will accompany Kazuha or Klee on their banners has been a source of conflicting information. However, the most widely circulated rumors indicate that Heizou would appear on Genshin Impact 2.8's initial banner. Genshin Impact 2.8, according to miHoYo, will be released on July 13, 2022, the same day as Heizou (assuming the above leak is true). Heizou's powers are showcased in the YouTube video above. The character is a 4-star Anemo Catalyst user who does the following movements in the video:

• Idle animation
• Normal Attacks
• Elemental Skill (Press)
• Charged Attack
• Elemental Burst
• Normal Attacks
• Elemental Skill (Hold)

Event leaks

This Reddit leak shows off a few of the upcoming events that will be included in Genshin Impact 2.8. They are as follows:

• Summertime Odyssey (The main event with a Crown of Insight)
• Evermotion Mechanic Painting (Includes a new furnishing)
• Reminiscent Regimen
• Resonating Visions (Includes three tabs that presumably offer the rewards)
• Hidden Strife
• Hangout Event: Series VII (the 4-star characters aren't shown here)

Domain leaks

According to reports, the forthcoming version will include four significant Domains. They all have distinct designs that haven't been seen in past Domains, so some Travelers may be interested in checking them out. A video linked to Mona's Domain is shown in the tweet above. This update is also likely to include her home's interior. Both are linked to missions in the Golden Apple Archipelago. Some Travelers may enjoy Kazuha's Domain because of its typical Inazuma flair.

The function of these Domains has not been revealed, other than the fact that Travelers will be able to visit them in Genshin Impact 2.8. With some prickly plants, Xinyan's Domain offers a ghostly vibe. It's reminiscent of Tsurumi Island and Chasm, yet it's equally as enigmatic as the prior Domain leaks. Fischl's Domain is the final leaked domain. It's undoubtedly a reflection of her style and personality, and it's just as enigmatic as the previously revealed Domains.

The unusual designs of each of these new Domains have gained popularity within the online leaking community, with numerous players expressing optimism that they will be replayable. Their exact release date is unknown, however, Genshin Impact 2.8 is set to release on July 13, 2022.
