The program will feature voice actors Mariko Honda, who voices Sandrone, and Lynn, who voices Columbina, as guests. The announcement thumbnail shows Sandrone and Columbina against a background that appears to be Fontaine, and also previews new costumes for the characters Charlotte and Citlali. The broadcast will air on Thursday, a departure from the usual Friday schedule for these preview programs. The Luna VIII update is the next major version before a significant update, and past previews before major updates have introduced limited-time maps such as the Golden Apple Archipelago and Veluriyam Mirage, as well as new costumes. The program will be streamed on the official Genshin Impact YouTube channel and official X account. Genshin Impact is available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, iOS, and Android as a free-to-play title with in-app purchases.","whyItMatters":"The early tease of new costumes for Charlotte and Citlali, alongside the unusual Thursday broadcast slot, suggests HoYoverse is adjusting its pre-update marketing cadence for the Luna VIII version.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Luna VIII preview program is the last official broadcast before a major Genshin Impact update, a pattern that in prior years has preceded the introduction of limited-time areas like the Golden Apple Archipelago and Veluriyam Mirage. The thumbnail places Sandrone and Columbina in a Fontaine-styled background, hinting at a possible regional focus for the upcoming content. Both Inside and Game Spark note the Thursday broadcast date is a break from the typical Friday schedule, though neither source offers a reason for the change. The two guests, Mariko Honda and Lynn, are the voice actors for the Fatui Harbingers Sandrone and Columbina, characters who have not yet appeared as playable units in the game. The new costumes for Charlotte and Citlali are visible in the thumbnail but have not been described in detail by any of the sources.
