Genshin Impact Version 6.4 — Luna V will be one of the major updates in early 2026, bringing highly anticipated new content to the community, including new characters, special events, a new boss, and various gameplay improvements.
Release Date and Update Duration
Version 6.4 “Luna V” is expected to officially launch on February 25, 2026, across all servers, following HoYoverse’s traditional six-week patch cycle.
The patch will typically be divided into two phases:

Pre-installation is likely to be available a few days before release, allowing players to access the new content immediately after maintenance ends.
New Character: Varka – Five-Star Anemo Claymore

One of the most exciting highlights of this version is the long-awaited arrival of Varka, a Five-Star Anemo Claymore user who will officially become playable.
What’s New About Varka?
-
Element: Anemo
-
Weapon: Claymore
-
Role: Main DPS / Sub-DPS
-
Combat Style: Varka is unique in that he can deal two types of elemental damage simultaneously when using his Elemental Skill and Burst.
Varka’s design is deeply inspired by Mondstadt’s lore, reinforcing his role as a seasoned figure closely connected to the Knights of Favonius.
