Genshin Impact 6.0 “Luna I” – New Region, Characters & Game-Changing Updates

The latest Genshin Impact Special Program has unveiled Version 6.0: Luna I, the first chapter of the Song of the Welkin Moon saga. This massive update introduces the new region of Nod-Krai, three playable characters, sweeping system overhauls, and even a bold new sandbox mode. Players can dive into these changes starting September 10, 2025.

🗺️ New Region: Nod-Krai

Unlike Fontaine or Natlan, Nod-Krai will have its story integrated directly into the Archon Quest, promising a smoother and more immersive narrative. This means new characters won’t just appear in side quests — they’ll be woven into the main storyline, making the world feel more alive.

New Playable Characters

Version 6.0 introduces three new faces to the roster:

• Lauma ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5-Star) – Expected to be a powerhouse tied to Nod-Krai’s lore.
• Flins ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5-Star) – A headliner for Phase 2 banners.
• Aino ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4-Star Hydro Claymore) – The first of its kind, shaking up Hydro team comps.

👉 Their release will be story-driven, giving players a chance to bond with them before pulling.

Event Banners Breakdown

Here’s the confirmed lineup for Version 6.0:

• Phase 1 Banners: Lauma + Nahida
• Phase 2 Banners: Flins + Yelan (with Aino as a featured 4-Star)

⚔️ Huge Gacha System Overhauls

The livestream introduced two shocking changes that will reshape pulling forever:

5. 💡 Why it matters: Older characters get stronger, making them viable again.

⚡ Quality-of-Life Improvements

Grinding gets a lot easier in 6.0 thanks to:
