Genshin Impact 6.X Banners Roadmap Leaks！

Greetings, Travelers!

If you know what the characters that are upcoming in the banners are, you can plan. Then you can pull for the characters you want and save primogems when the banners are not right. With the recent 5.6 update, you can be sure that miHoYo has something big in store for us. So, let’s follow LDShop to get to know the possible banner runs and reruns in Genshin Impact versions 6.0 and More. Let’s get started!

*Note: Information comes from various sources and leaks things may change before her official release, so take all of this with a grain of salt. And don't forget to follow LDShop for updates and more leaks!

 

Version 6.0：New Characters and New regions

For Genshin Impact version 6.0, we can only guess what might happen and the characters coming in the banners. Again, basing the future on the past track record, after a Summer patch, we get the major start of a new region. Now, if you are thinking, won’t there be a version 5.9? Till now, with the previous versions, there has not been a 9th patch of a particular version. MiHoYo does take the seven ate nine thing seriously, it seems. A new region means new and playable characters.

Realease Date

If the game avoids any delays over the course of 2025, then it’s possible to predict that Version 6.0 will be released on September 10. Patches for the game are usually released on Wednesdays every six weeks and, considering the title has been on a steady release pace, it seems unlikely this schedule will be affected any time soon.

New Character

Columbina

As for the new character, we currently know that Columbina will be available in version 6.0. She makes her first appearance during Teyvat Chapter Interlude Teaser: A Winter Night's Lazzo alongside her fellow Harbingers. Although there is not much information about her at present, Colombiya has great potential to become a character with a unique style and novel mechanisms. Her mysterious background, angelic setting and musical elements make us look forward to her official debut in the future.

Electro New Character (6.0 First phase)

Adult Male · Electro-Charged Core DPS (Electro-Charged C)
● Specializes in high-frequency Electro damage output, focusing on triggering Electro-Charged reactions to significantly suppress Hydro enemies.
● Skill design may enhance Electro-Charged damage and reaction efficiency, offering new tactical breakthroughs for Electro teams.
Geo New Character (6.0 Second phase)

Adult Female · Crystallize Core DPS (Crystallize C)
● Utilizes Crystallize reactions to generate shields and convert damage, enhancing team survivability and output.
● Skills may strengthen shield potency and damage conversion rates, optimizing Geo tactical systems.

 

New Regions?

Originally, the Snezhnaya region was widely believed to be the focus of Genshin Impact’s version 6.0 and subsequent updates after the current Natlan region arc comes to an end. However, the most recent leaks instead suggest that the Nod-Krai subregion will be the entire focus of the version 6.0 updates, and that the highly anticipated Snezhnaya region may not arrive now until version 7.0. 
Although the Snezhnaya region arriving later than initially expected might seem like a cause for frustration, in the long run, introducing the Nod-Krai subregion first could end up being the perfect way to handle Snezhnaya.

A potential benefit of making players begin their journey through Snezhnaya in the Nod-Krai subregion is that this could provide the room to expand the narrative of the Fatui Harbingers. Aside from the few Fatui Harbingers in Genshin Impact whom players have gotten to meet firsthand so far, there is still a lot of mystery surrounding this central antagonist group, and allowing players to freely roam into the region that’s under the control of the Fatui Harbingers could undermine their perceived authority and strength. So, by spending time in the outskirts of the Snezhnaya region in Nod-Krai, players could potentially recruit allies and learn more about the Fatui Harbingers, preparing before inevitably encountering any more of these dangerous characters.

Version 6.X

According to reliable leaks, the Anemo boy Durin will debut in Version 6.1!

For those eager to know more about Durin's potential and create the most formidable build, our Genshin Impact V6.1 Preview: Durin must read!

The Fatui's Second Harbinger [Doctor] Dottore - confirmed as an Electro character - is projected for Version 6.5 or 6.6.Moreover, the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, Varka, will join our ranks as an Anemo warrior after Version 6.4!
But the horizon holds even more:A new Hexenzirkel member、Liyue's white steed adeptus、The highly anticipated Vertin, proprietress of the Voynich Guild will all gradually arrive in future updates!

Talking about the Fatui, we still have many more to see of them. Remember that Snezhnaya is the home of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers and is the land of the Tsaritsa. So, you can expect the reruns of either Arlecchino or Tartaglia. Sometimes, we might get a new playable character from the Order of the Fatui. In the initial patches of the 6.X, we can get some great characters. But, we will have to wait for the later updates, possibly giving the Tsaritsa and Dainsleif as playable characters.

Version Phases	Expected Content
6.1	First Half: Pyro Female Character (Pyro Ecofy)
6.2	First Half: Pyro Male Character (Vaporize DPS)
6.3	First Half: Hydro Female Character (Version's Primary Banner) Second Half: Anemo Female Character (Swirl-Bloom Team)
6.0~6.3	New Mid-Level Fatui Officer Series Characters (※ 4-star Tactical Support Role)
6.4~6.8	Unlock Playable Eleventh Fatui Harbinger (※ 5-star DPS Type)
7.0+	The Tsaritsa / Dainsleif Legendary Release

At the end of the day, we will never know how the story will progress and how things will play out in Tevyat. Remember that Mavuika’s Gnosis is still with her. The Fatui failed in retrieving it. So, we might get to see another member of the Eleven Fatui Harbinger in action.

 

Conclusion

In short, with the upcoming updates and patches, there will be many new characters and features. What might come in version 6.0 is still up in the sky. We might get a rerun of Albedo or any of the already playable Eleven Fatui Harbinger members. Sometimes even both.

“Nothing really matters, anyone can see”. Truly, all the banner talks and leaks will never matter if you do not make the most of them. Most importantly, your goal is to have fun. May you get the characters that you want from the current banner and in the upcoming banners.

While you might not be heavily invested in the story and the lore, you are interested in the characters that come with the updates, right? Following leaks from prominent and trustworthy dataminers is a great way to plan for the future. You will need to save up primogems, or you will have to do a Genshin Impact top up to pull the characters. The best platform to make the top-up is LDShop, it lets players top up for less and it is a great way to save money.
