The first phase of Genshin Impact version 3.8 will begin on July 5, 2023, as soon as the new update is online. This half will feature Eula, who will get her long-awaited second rerun banner. The last time she received a rate-up was in November 2021, around one-and-a-half years ago – the longest gap between two banners for any character in Genshin Impact.

Phase II (July 26 – August 16)

The second phase of the upcoming version 3.8 will start on July 26, 2023, and will feature Kokomi and Wanderer rerun banners. This will be the former’s third rerun banner. Kokomi has become increasingly popular with the introduction of Dendro-based reaction, so it is a good opportunity for players to get her.

Meanwhile, Wanderer, better known as Scaramouche, is also returning in phase two of the upcoming update. This will be his first rerun banner since his release. The second phase of this patch will also run for 21 days and end on August 16, 2023. It is also worth noting that version 3.8 will be the final update before Fontaine is introduced.
