Summary
- Genshin Impact leak suggests upcoming birthday banners, allowing players to pull units that have not been featured in updates for months.
- The game's permanent banner will receive an update, offering limited-time birthday banners and a new mechanism to pull consumable items like Starglitters.
- Version 4.4 of Genshin Impact will bring buffs to Spiral Abyss, potentially making it harder to complete, as well as the highly anticipated Lantern Rite festival and quality-of-life changes.
A recent Genshin Impact leak hints at the inclusion of birthday banners, revealing that the game's permanent wish will receive a significant update soon. Genshin Impact's banner system promotes a limited number of characters, meaning players can't find a chance to get many old units that aren't featured on the Wanderlust Invocation and event wishes. Though the Wanderlust Invocation offers non-event exclusive characters, this permanent pool still lacks the majority of five-star banners.
Genshin Impact has been constantly bringing rerun characters to event wishes, but the uncertainty of some units coming back is an issue for players. Many Travelers want to know when their favorite characters will get a limited-time banner. If this leak is accurate, players will have a chance to pull units, which have gone over months without being featured in an update, on their birthdays.
A new Genshin Impact leak from Little Teyvat and Genshin Meow suggested that the game's permanent banner will soon receive an impending update. The developers are improving the current gacha system, which will allegedly offer limited-time birthday banners for playable characters. Besides, the leak claims that Genshin Impact will introduce a brand-new mechanism that allows players to pull some consumable items like Starglitters.
The upcoming banner system will reportedly be associated with anniversary events and character birthdays; therefore, players can expect their favorite units to become available at a certain time every year. It's safe to predict that it will have a limited character pool that changes periodically.
Lastly, the leak mentions that Genshin Impact's Spiral Abyss will receive several buffs in version 4.4, which could make the domain harder to complete. It doesn't elaborate on those buffs; however, players can expect enemies to have more HP or resistance. There is also a chance that the Spiral Abyss will have even more chambers.
Genshin Impact will release some fresh content in version 4.4, including the long-awaited Lantern Rite festival that will allegedly reward players with a free four-star character. The game will promote a limited-time event banner featuring the protector of Liyue, Xianyun. Additionally, it will bring several quality-of-life changes, such as five more party slots and the Custom Loadout function for artifacts. Though some details about 4.4 content are still missing, multiple leaks indicated that there will be an all-new region, Chenyu Vale, where players will take on a pair of Local Legends. As per the usual schedule, Genshin Impact's next version should arrive at the end of this month.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...

ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK

BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
