The next big happening in the story of Genshin Impact continues with Genshin Impact Version Luna 1 titled “Song of the Welkin Moon: Segue” which aims to bring travelers to Nod-Krai as well as new characters to pull like Lauma, Flins and Aino!

Genshin Impact Version Luna 1 Trailer

In Version Luna 1, the Traveler and Paimon set sail to the north to explore the three main island territories of Nod-Krai and meet its inhabitants. The latest patch will feature new Archon Quests and also introduce new characters that they can add to their roster namely Lauma of the Frostmoon Scions.

Another character that is set to appear is Flins who continues to fight the relentless “Wild Hunt”.

Meanwhile, the Fatui Harbingers also return as they plot to claim the power of the moon led by the Harbinger “Marionette” also known as Sandrone. Another Fatui Harbinger, Columbina aka “The Damselette” will also be seen as she has retreated to her birthplace of Nod-Krai where she is also regarded as a Moon Maiden. The latter will be an important character for the Traveler’s journey as she may grant them powerful blessings for their journey.

Players can unlock the region right after completing the Mondstadt main story as well as getting to Adventure Rank 28.

In Nod-Krai, an ancient elemental force known as Kuuvahki permeates the land, shaping both its terrain and its living beings. Players can draw upon this power, hidden within plants, mechanisms, and even the land itself, to overcome challenges in exploration. They may also take on the form of a unique elemental lifeform, the Kuuhenki, gliding swiftly along small patches of mist and Moonlanes. In battle, Kuuvahki reveals itself in both enemies and allies, requiring Travelers to devise targeted strategies to prevail — and granting certain characters the ability to unleash special Lunar Reactions.

Lauma

Lauma, the Moonchanter and a five-star Catalyst wielder, introduces the new Lunar-Bloom reaction with her Dendro powers. Utilizing the Verdant Dew, a special resource generated from the Lunar-Bloom reaction, she can boost her team’s Bloom-related damage. With her unique bond with animals, she can even take on a half-human, half-deer form to sprint and leap with agility.

Flins

Flins, a five-star Polearm wielder, commands Electro with Lunar-Charged strikes — unleashing either a devastating single blow or a storm of spear attacks. As an experienced Lightkeeper, he can also hear the whispers of the Wild Hunt during exploration.

Aino

Aino, a four-star Hydro Claymore wielder and creator of Ineffa, brings both mechanical ingenuity and a touch of home. Her workshop and inventions, including the duck-shaped combat device “Knuckle Duckle,” add playful new interactions to the adventure. Players can recruit Aino to their party for free by progressing through the new Archon Quests in Nod-Krai.

The new feature “Meeting Points” will let players step into the daily lives of their companions: relive the legends of the Frostmoon Scions with Lauma, explore the bustling Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop with Aino and Ineffa, or uncover the long-kept stories of the Lightkeepers at Flins’s home. In Version Luna I, the first half will feature Lauma alongside Nahida’s rerun in the Event Wishes, together with a Sumeru-themed Chronicled Wish. The second half brings Flins, Aino, and Yelan’s rerun.

New optimizations and rewards are set to make your adventure even smoother. Adventure EXP can now be earned through more diverse means, speeding up leveling progress, while harvestable materials will be added to the Battle Pass rewards. In this version, you’ll be able to preview the locked affix of an Artifact in advance and save more team presets with the expanded party setup slots. The biggest change comes with the introduction of Masterless Stella Fortuna, an item that lets you convert the extra 5-star Stella Fortuna to push characters beyond the current cap — all the way to Level 100. And to celebrate both the update and Genshin Impact’s 5th Anniversary, there’s a whole lineup of rewards waiting: a free 5-star character of your choice from the Standard Wish pool, Intertwined Fate ×10 from the login event, Primogems ×1,600 via in-game mail, two special Nod-Krai–themed gadgets, and more.

Additionally, Genshin Impact announced more details of “Miliastra Wonderland,” the much-anticipated UGC Gameplay System that will allow players to create and enjoy stages made by fellow gamers. Equipped with the “Miliastra Sandbox” editor tool, creators can harness Genshin Impact’s existing systems and assets to design and share a wide variety of fresh experiences, ranging from simulations and party games, to survival challenges and more. Starting with Version Luna II, Miliastra Wonderland will become available, expanding Genshin Impact’s gameplay in bold new ways.

Starting September 10, Genshin Impact Version Luna I invites players to embark on a moonlit journey through Nod-Krai. With cross-progression and Co-Op functions, players can enjoy their adventure across PlayStation®, Xbox, PC, Android, and iOS. The game has been rated T for Teen by ESRB on PS5, Xbox, PC, and Google Play, and 12+ on iOS.
