Version "Luna VIII" "Sunny Summer Fontinalia" Trailer | Genshin Impact
#GenshinImpact#GenshinLunaVIII
From its reflection upon the water, we learn that the new moon has risen. Beneath the early summer night sky, we wander free and unhurried.
@GenshinImpact Eleven Fatui Harbingers reduced to five. The Jester and the Tsaritsa still committed to the plan because checkmate is not where this game ends.
Maybe they will tell their forces to stand down in Snezhnaya. Or maybe they'll keep things hidden and make traveler do all their work unawares.
Or they'll tell Traveler their efforts will make the unknown god resurface and their sibling show up, see? Just saying.
I have a feeling our trip to Snezhnaya will be smoother than expected considering our reputation and accomplishments:
We're friends with 11th fatui harbinger
We're paid by 9th fatui harbinger
We defeated 8th fatui harbinger
We allied with 7th fatui harbinger in nod-krai
We allied with 4th fatui harbinger in fontaine and nod-krai
We defeated 2nd fatui harbinger in nod-krai and sumeru
We allied with 1st fatui harbinger in natlan
All former fatui harbingers are our friends unless they're dead or unknown.
We'll meet this bombadier in Snezhnaya under the command of Major Valeriy. Whoever Valeriy is, they've set up his story well enough. A courteous respectable soldier.
You'd have to be a fool to attack Traveler as if that's going to help. Idk about the rooster or Jester or Tsaritsa but Traveler is their best option for their plans to succeed and they probably know that. Even Dottore spent a lot of time and effort trying to win Traveler over.

This Major Valeriy guy sounds like a big deal. We just might see him in Snezhnaya. I even wonder if he'll become playable. But I'll understand if he turns out to be an npc like how it happened with Gretel (which could be more likely).
It's like what Albedo discovered about the truth of the world (Albedo ofc being someone else's creation).
Maybe creators like Alain, Rhinedottir and Ei know best. Letting their creations roam free to eventually find their place in human society regardless of the consequences.
"Scherzo" huh. Feels very appropriate to Sandrone's story. The scherzo replaced the minuet. It's like how Sandrone chose to make use of Rene's works instead of sticking to Alain's. Her world formula had that element of surprise that changed everything. But that was back then.
Dear Traveler, it's announcement time!
#GenshinLunaVIII#GenshinImpact#GenshinSpecialProgram
The special program for Genshin Impact's new version will premiere on the official Twitch and YouTube channels on 06/18/2026 at 08:00 AM (UTC-4)!
This special program will feature juicy details about new game content and developments in Version "Luna VIII". It will also "drop" some redemption codes and other goodies!
I still think Alain's final gift to Sandrone has something to do with her stellar linchpin being activated by her own wish in the face of death. But maybe that last gift was ultimately about Sandrone finding friends worth giving her life for and thus living like a normal person.
Venti is having a fun time but Dvalin is yawning.
This after the events in Alice's bubble world would mean Venti is spending time with Dvalin for a reason even if Dvalin may not get it. Dragons shouldn't have to stay alone, it's good to have friends. Look at Durin for example.
Happy Birthday, Venti!
#GenshinImpact#Venti
Oh? Is Dvalin yawning? Then here, try some apple cake! One bite and you'll be feeling refreshed in no time!
Well? Good, isn't it? I went out of my way to learn this recipe from the Traveler.
Ahaha, no need to rush... We made plenty. Here, have an apple cookie too.
Looks like Dvalin likes my cooking... You'll have to teach me another dessert recipe sometime. Or maybe we should call it, "One Hundred Ways to Make Apples"?
"I went out of my way to learn this recipe from the Traveler."
Looks like Traveler didn't just accept the sus apple pie back then but taught Venti how to bake a proper apple cake. These voice lines are actual events!
Also Venti giving Dvalin the fruit of the gods reminds me of him giving Dvalin the power of the anemo god.
Dvalin has been hanging out with this bard a lot lately🤨
"Sunny Summer Fontinalia"
Summer event finally?!
"Fontinalia" reminds me of Fontinalia Film Festival from Roses and muskets event. Is this a continuation of that event's story?
Is Citlali's new outfit because of her participation in fontaine or will she get her own quest? (i'd understand if they were filming a light novel that citlali really loves)
or is it charlotte the one participating?
Or is it both?
I cant wait👏🥳
@GenshinImpact SO MANY THINGS!
Sandrone and Columbina will be reunited (why is Columbina reaching out to a bird?)
Who/what made granny get out of her house this time?
Hydro Traveler, Furina directing something? Chiori on standby
Also what's up with Paimon's positioning (will we get separated?)
Venti's letter this year is intriguing given the news he just got from the "never-ending winds". What news? Maybe about recent events in Sumeru? Why else would he say "the wind can never be held by anyone"? Using wind to tell our story instead of words reveals something important
Theory aside, we get 1 guide to ballad from Venti's mail which is about poetry and so refers to his insight on poetry/ballad. Venti's special ratatouille reflects the way he works in Mondstadt in providing subtle guidance from the background as people work hard towards freedom.
