Genshin Impact 6.0 banner brings three new characters, fan-favourite reruns, and a special Sumeru Chronicled Wish banner, along with the new Nod-krai region.
The wait for Genshin Impact 6.0 is almost over, and with it comes a big shakeup—new lands to explore and some exciting banners to pull on. The update, set for September 10, 2025, officially welcomes the Traveler to Nod-krai, a fresh region packed with story, puzzles, and a fresh cast of characters. As always, HoYoverse is mixing things up with both new and returning faces, and here’s a first look at what you can expect from Genshin Impact 6.0 banners.
When Does Genshin Impact 6.0 Launch?
Mark your calendars—Genshin Impact 6.0 starts on September 10, 2025 and runs until October 22, 2025.
This isn’t just a new region; it’s a new chapter in the game’s story, focused on the Song of the Welkin Moon. There are fresh characters, hidden paths, and likely a few surprises for your anniversary primogems.
Who’s New in Genshin Impact 6.0 Banners?
The Nod-krai region brings three new characters to the mix:
- Lauma (5-star, Dendro, Catalyst)
- Flins (5-star, Electro, Polearm)
- Aino (4-star, Hydro, Claymore)—who you’ll get for free as you explore the new lands!
That’s right—Aino is not just a new Hydro unit, but a freebie that you grab as soon as you set foot in Nod-krai. She’s designed to help you with puzzles and exploration, making her a valuable pick for new and veteran players alike.
