What are the current and next Genshin Impact banners? Each character event wish banner lasts around three weeks and gives you a higher chance to receive specific five-star and four-star characters. There’s also a weapon event wish banner called Epitome Invocation that gives you the chance to roll for some extremely powerful four and five-star weapons.
We update this page frequently so that you know whether to save your primogems or spend up large with the current banner. There are generally four character banners per Genshin Impact update, with two running concurrently in the first phase, and two running concurrently in the second phase, so you’re rarely short on opportunities to snag your next main!
Here are the current and next Genshin Impact banners:

Upcoming Genshin Impact banner speculation
There are also a handful of characters that we know about – either through meeting them in-game or seeing them in promotional material – but don’t have release dates yet.
Firstly, the official Genshin Impact X account shared this post with seven silhouettes of upcoming characters that we’ll get to meet over the first six months of 2025. So far, we know that Iansan, Ifa, Mizuki, and Escoffier make up five of the seven silhouettes, and the central one is likely to be Skirk. However, the second silhouette from the left is still a mystery outside of a few leaks.
There are also a few other characters that may someday be playable. Here are all of the other characters we predict will appear on upcoming Genshin Impact banners:
- Genshin Impact’s Skirk
- Genshin Impact’s Tsaritsa
- Genshin Impact’s Alice
- Genshin Impact’s Pantalone
- Genshin Impact’s Capitano
- Genshin Impact’s Pulcinella
- Genshin Impact’s Columbina
- Genshin Impact’s Pierro
- Genshin Impact’s Sandrone
Of course, we’ll be sure to update this section and their guides as soon as we know more, so be sure to check back in the future.
