Summary
- A bug fix for Neuvillette is coming in a new Genshin Impact update, along with free 1,600 Primogems for players.
- Players can now explore the new Simulanka map with Kirara, Nilou, and Navia with the release of Version 4.8.
- HoYoverse will likely distribute more Primogems through promo codes before the release of Genshin Impact Version 5.0.
HoYoverse is giving away 1,600 Primogems for free to each Genshin Impact player, following the discovery of a major bug affecting Neuvillette in Version 4.8. These free Primogems will be sent directly to player inboxes in a new Genshin Impact update, which is expected to roll out before the launch of Version 5.0.
Released on July 17, Genshin Impact Version 4.8 introduced the Simulanka limited-time summer map, the final destination before the Traveler and Paimon leave Fontaine for Natlan. The latest Genshin Impact update sees the traveling pair team up with Kirara, Nilou, the Wanderer, and Navia to explore Simulanka, uncover secrets and treasures, and avert another crisis. Once more, Primogems are one of the most important currencies in Genshin Impact, allowing players to summon new characters like 5-star Dendro character Emilie from Event Wishes in Version 4.8.
On July 17, the official Genshin Impact Twitter account released a lengthy notice about a major bug that slowed down Hydro catalyst user Neuvillette and his Charged Attack, Equitable Judgment, confirming that a fix is on the way with 1,600 Primogems as compensation for all players. Initially, Genshin Impact Version 4.8 was supposed to deliver a fix to the abnormal rotation speed for Neuvillette's Charged Attack, which was achieved by adjusting the sensitivity or mouse DPI settings. However, the update made matters worse for the community, since many Genshin Impact players noticed that the character's Charged Attack was even slower and clunkier to use in combat than before. This fix will be rolled back in an upcoming update, which will also send the free Primogems to all players.
Genshin Impact is Giving Away 1,600 Primogems as Compensation for Major Neuvillette Bug
- Neuvillette bug fixes are arriving in a new update, likely launching before Version 5.0.
- 1,600 Primogems will be distributed with the update for free
HoYoverse notes that feedback from the Genshin Impact community led them to make their decision shortly after Version 4.8's release. The studio plans on taking more careful measures when making gameplay changes to existing Genshin Impact characters. At the very least, players will have plenty of Primogems on hand, since 1,600 Primogems is enough to draw a tenfold summon from an Event Wish. This presents an opportunity for many fans to pull some of Natlan's new playable characters in Version 5.0, if they choose to save the Primogems for the major update.
Genshin Impact Version 5.0 is expected to be released near the end of August 2024, and the next special program will be another opportunity for fans to gain more Primogems for free, since HoYoverse normally distributes three promo codes per broadcast. Once ready, HoYoverse will reveal new information about the Natlan region, the Archon Quest storyline, all-new playable characters, and upcoming events before Version 5.0 launches.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
