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
Outside of the current and next Genshin Impact banner, we also have some predictions for future banners. Due to both characters appearing in-game and through leaks, we believe that Genshin Impact’s Iansan and Ororon’s friend Genshin Impact’s Ifa will come further down the line during the version 5 updates.
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.
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.
