Genshin Impact Banners: 2026 Schedule

If you’ve been trying to “save for later” in Genshin, 2026 is about to test your self-control hard. The 6.4–6.8 banner roadmap is packed with characters who could actually move the story forward, from Knights of Favonius shake-ups to Harbinger-level drama and Hexenzirkel whispers.

Below, we’ll break down each phase in a community-friendly way, so you can spot the hype banners, the smart reruns, and the best moments to plan your pulls!

Phase 1

Star: ⭐⭐⭐⭐｜Element: Cyro｜Weapon: TBA

Sandrone, codenamed "The Marionette," is a key figure in the Nod-Krai (6.x) storyline. She plays a heroic role, ultimately making a profound sacrifice to save the Traveler during a critical mission.

She is anticipated to become a playable character in Version 6.7. In gameplay, Sandrone is likely Electro or Cryo, designed as a specialist focused on Superconduct reactions. Lore-wise, she was created by Alain Guillotin to avoid fate, endowed with a fully independent consciousness. 

According to Seele leaks, Sandrone will be Cryo DPS. And we will explore a new map on the frost moon in version 6.7!

No 6.8 Banner

There' no Genshin 6.8 version. According to Genshin's Snezhnaya Livestream, we will step in Snezhnaya on Aug 12, 2026, which is the next banner after 6.7 banner. The whole Nod-Krai banner will end at 6.7 banner.

 

7.0 Banner

Starting from Version 7.0, the complete map of Mare Jivari will be released. Following the conclusion of the Snezhnaya chapter, Genshin 2 is set to launch.

According to Seele's leaks, we have two brand new characters introduced in version 7.0:

• Vodyanitsa (5-star Electro)
• Unknown 4-star Cyro character

 

Future Banner

If Alice really lands here, expect the community to go feral—not just because she’s “Klee’s mom,” but because she’s been framed as the kind of person who treats reality like a playground. Story-wise, Alice is basically a cheat code for escalation: she can stitch Mondstadt, the Hexenzirkel, and “how the world actually works” mysteries together in one casual conversation and still feel totally in-character. Relationship-wise, this is where Klee’s backstory stops being cute flavor and starts becoming plot-relevant.

And if she arrives as a 5★ Pyro Catalyst, you can picture a flashy, high-ceiling kit that bends normal rotation rules—short, explosive windows, weird buff routing, or even exploration perks that make her feel like she’s breaking Teyvat on purpose.

The latest from Seele is that Alice will not be playable at Snezhnaya. Still waiting.

Conclusion

New characters aren’t just “more DPS,” they’re story keys—then the roadmap ramps it up with Knights politics, icy folklore, and Hexenzirkel-level secrets. Use this schedule to plan your “must-pulls,” set a primogem buffer, and dodge impulse pity.
