HoYoverse has teased new skins for Aether and Lumine, likely arriving in the Genshin Luna IV update. Leaks suggest a space-themed design linked to the Travelers' past.
Players have been asking for new outfits for the main characters for years, and HoYoverse seems ready to deliver. The developers have officially teased special skins for both Aether and Lumine, sharing silhouettes of the new cosmetics ahead of the expected Genshin Impact Luna IV version update.
Official Teaser and Release Window for Genshin Aether and Lumine Skins
The teaser, titled "As Heaven and Earth Are Made Anew," offers a glimpse of the new outfits through shadowed silhouettes. Based on HoYoverse’s typical schedule, these skins are speculated to release during the 2026 Lantern Rite event, which usually coincides with the Luna IV update.
The developers also shared a cryptic description for the outfits:
"This outfit was once cherished by the other of two companions who set out on journey together, in a past now as distant as a dream, as ephemeral as flickering lights."

This text hints at a deep lore connection, suggesting that the skins might be outfits the siblings wore or admired during their travels together before arriving in Teyvat. It also implies that players might only be able to obtain the skin for the twin they chose as their main character.
More concrete details, including the full reveal and whether the skins will be free or paid, are expected during the Luna IV live stream scheduled for January 2, 2026.
Leaked Genshin Aether Skin Details: "Relive the Past"
While official information is scarce, leaks have provided more potential details. A reliable leaker named Seele claims the skins could be named "Relive the Past."
Another leaker, Kazusa, supports the Luna IV release window. Moreover, the information shared on Kasssperskaya's Telegram channel suggests that Aether's skin will have a space theme, possibly resembling a spacesuit or drawing design elements from the twins' original spaceship. This aligns with the "distant past" mentioned in the official teaser.
How to Obtain the Aether and Lumine Skins?
There are conflicting theories on how players will unlock these outfits.
- Event Reward: Some speculate that the skins will be rewards for completing mini-games during the Lantern Rite event.
- Story Completion: Leaks suggest that the skins might be tied to the main story, unlockable after completing the Luna IV Archon Quests.
Regardless of the method, the addition of new skins for the Travelers is a major moment for the community. Fans will have to tune in to the January 2 livestream for the final word on these long-awaited cosmetics.
