HoYoverse is rolling out the red carpet with the enchanting new summer map, Simulanka.

Version 4.8 introduces a new five-star character, Emilie, a Dendro polearm user and perfumer with a unique ability to deal additional damage to enemies afflicted with Burning. Look forward to her debut alongside Yelan’s rerun in the latter half of the Event Wishes, following Navia and Nilou’s reruns at the start.

Simulanka is packed with seasonal events and engaging mini-games. Test your aim in Boreal Flurry by shooting balloons from an aerial perspective, or try your luck at snagging toy figures in the claw-machine-inspired Flying Hatter’s Trick. For those seeking a challenge, the Metropole Trials await, where you can assemble two teams for intense combat scenarios.

Participating in these activities earns you Starsail Coins, which you can exchange for charming figurines to adorn "Good Shelves" scattered around Simulanka. Completing the main storylines even lets you claim these shelves as Furnishings for your Serenitea Pot.
