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 5.7 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

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.

Version 6.0 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 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.

 

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.
