▍Anniversary Date
The 5th anniversary date of Genshin Impact is expected to be held on September 10th, 2025, at the same time comes Version 6.0.
▍Anniversary Banner Overview
Genshin Impact v6.0 Character Banner Leak – What to Expect:
With version 6.0 on the horizon, early leaks are already painting an exciting picture for upcoming banners. Here's what we know so far from some sources:
Phase 1 Banner
The first half of 6.0 will likely feature a brand-new 5-star male Electro DPS, reportedly from a mysterious new faction known as the “Lightkeepers.” Not much is known about this group yet, but lore hints suggest a major role in the coming storyline.
Alongside him, a 4-star Inazuman youth is rumored to debut—possibly a sword or polearm user with ties to existing characters from Inazuma. No official name yet, but designs are allegedly “stylish and modern.”
Phase 2 Banner
Phase 2 shifts gears with the introduction of a 5-star Geo DPS female character, referred to in leaks as the “High Priestess.” She's described as elegant, commanding, and tied to ancient rituals or divine authority—possibly linked to new regions or story arcs.
Rerun Character
Zhongli may rerun in the anniversary banner, and multiple sources are hinting that our Geo daddy might finally be getting a new look- Archon - in an upcoming update. If true, this would mark the first ever Archon skin in the game.
As a long-time fan, I seriously can't wait to see how elegant and regal his new outfit will be. Fingers crossed this one is real! >W<
▍Anniversary Rewards (Expected)
20 Free Wishes just for logging in — split between Limited and Standard banners.

▍New Region
Nod-Krai
According to the recent Nod-Krai preview livestream, it’s been confirmed that the next major region will drop after Patch 5.8.
Following the game' s standard six-week update cycle, all signs point to a September 10, 2025 release — which just so happens to line up with the game' s anniversary.
Some are speculating that this might be our first glimpse at the Nod-Krai region — and if true, it’s absolutely stunning. The landscape appears rich with detail, blending elegance and mystery with a touch of otherworldly beauty. Definitely a major visual shift from past regions! While it’s still unconfirmed, many believe this design matches the aesthetics teased in the 6.0 preview.
▍Lantern Rite 2025
Neuvillette Skin + Mysterious 4-Star from Liyue:
According to early leaks, this year’s Lantern Rite might feature some serious surprises — and fans of Liyue and Fontaine are in for a treat.
Neuvillette, the Hydro Dragon himself, is reportedly getting an SP skin for the event. No visuals yet, but sources claim it’s one of the most elegant skins released to date — possibly featuring new animations or effects.
Even more intriguing: the long-rumored brother of Xingqiu is finally making his debut as a 4-star character, nicknamed the “Liyue Trickster.”
His design allegedly mirrors Xingqiu’s, but with a more flamboyant twist. His character profile hints at playful, over-the-top antics — and some leakers are already calling him the next comedy legend of Teyvat.
