Genshin Impact Version Luna I Launching in September
HoYoverse announced its latest major update for free-to-play action RPG Genshin Impact. The new update marks a change from the previous numbered updates, and is titled Version Luna I: “Song of the Welkin Moon: Segue”. It is the first in the year-long Song of the Welkin Moon update series. The update will release on September 10, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, iOS, and Android.
Version Luna I takes players to the new region of Nod-Krai in the world of Teyvat, which is accessible when players complete Mondstadt’s main story and reach Adventure Rank 28. Nod-Krai is home to three island territories and an ancient elemental force known as Kuuvahki, which permeates its land and beings. The main story sees players joining Lauma of the Frostmoon Scions to fight again the Fatui, who are looking to claim the power of the moon, as well as joining new character Flins against the “Wild Hunt”.
In Nod-Krai, players are able to draw upon the power of the Kuuvahki to overcome obstacles during exploration, as well as transform into a elemental lifeform called the Kuuhenki to glide along patches of mist and Moonlanes. Enemies and allies can also use it in battle, requiring new strategies, with some characters gaining the ability to unleash special Lunar Reactions. The update will also add three new playable characters: Lauma the Moonchanter, a five-star Catalyst wielder; Flins, a five-star Polearm wielder; and Aino, a four-star Hydro Claymore wielder. Other additions include Meeting Points where players can experience parts of their companions’ daily lives and new quality of life features.
Meanwhile, the following Version Luna II update will add the Miliastra Wonderland. This is a user-generated content gameplay system where players can create and share stages for other players to experience. It uses the Miliastra Sandbox editor tool, allowing players to create experiences including simulations, party games, and survival challenges.
Genshin Impact originally released in September 2020, with its most recent Version 5.8 update released last week. Players control a character in the world of Teyvat known as “the Traveler” and must embark on a journey to find their missing sibling. They are joined by NPC companion Paimon, travelling in a party of up to four active members.
