The next update for Genshin Impact, version 6.1, called “Song of the Welkin Moon: Reprise,” will be released on October 22nd, 2025. Alongside continuing the story in Nod-Krai, this update introduces Miliastra Wonderland – a brand new feature that allows players to create their own worlds, explore what others have made, and even compete with each other.

Enter the Miliastra Wonderland

The highly anticipated Miliastra Wonderland system has arrived, and it’s massive! Players can now discover hundreds of different experiences – from relaxing life simulations to competitive PvP battles and fun party games – all created directly within Genshin Impact. It feels like a whole new dimension of the game, where your creativity drives the gameplay. You can play with friends, compete against others, or tackle challenging puzzles on your own – the possibilities are incredibly open and exciting.

Plus, each player gets their own Manekin – a fully customizable avatar you can personalize with different hairstyles, faces, accessories, and clothes. You can also unlock new Outfit Components and complete outfits by participating in in-game events to create the perfect style.

For players who enjoy creating, the Miliastra Sandbox is the central hub for user-generated content. This tool lets you design your own Stages by editing landscapes, objects, and character abilities. You can connect these elements with simple logic to build everything from adventure levels and puzzle dungeons to competitive battle arenas. HoYoverse will also provide helpful tutorials, online forums, and rewards to support creators and highlight the best Stages.

The Archon Quest reaches its next crescendo in Nod-Krai

Genshin Impact’s Version 6.1 update not only unlocks new creative possibilities but also continues the epic storyline in the region of Nod-Krai, bringing back familiar characters. A dangerous new enemy, Rerir, the Rächer of Solnari, is emerging, forcing characters like Varka, Arlecchino, and The Marionette to team up. This uneasy alliance kicks off what promises to be one of the most thrilling chapters in the game so far.

Led by Nefer, the enigmatic leader of the Curatorium of Secrets – known as The Damselette – the story delves into Rerir’s motivations and the reasons behind the Solnari’s quest for revenge. Players can expect exciting battles, complex moral choices, and a reward of 560 Primogems upon completing the quest.

Genshin Impact Version 6.1 Update: New playable characters and reruns

Nefer: 5-Star Dendro Catalyst

The biggest addition in this update is Nefer, a powerful 5-star Dendro character who uses a Catalyst. She introduces a new gameplay mechanic called Lunar-Bloom. Nefer uses Verdant Dew to enhance her Charged Attacks, which don’t cost Stamina and deal significant Lunar-Bloom damage. When she enters her Ascendant Gleam state, she can turn Dendro Cores into Seeds of Deceit, making her attacks even stronger.

Nefer is a fascinating character, both in and out of battle, thanks to her intelligence and uncanny ability to read people. As the head of the Curatorium, she’s skilled at uncovering others’ hidden agendas. Players can exchange the information she gathers for extra stories and rewards at the Adventurers’ Guild.

Re-runs and Chronicled Wish

The update will roll out in two parts. First, you’ll have a chance to get Nefer and Furina through Event Wishes, and then Arlecchino and Zhongli will be featured in the second half.

Events and Rewards

Version 6.1 is here with lots of new things to do! You can help The Damselette with new Commissions to get cool rewards like unique namecards and the Ascendant Gleam buff. There’s also a special event in Sumeru where you can earn Primogems and even get Collei as a free character. This update adds to the game’s story and gives players plenty of valuable items.

Final thoughts

The new 6.1 update for Genshin Impact is a really exciting step forward. It introduces a unique system where players can create their own content, brings back beloved characters, and features the new character Nefer. I’m especially excited about Miliastra Wonderland – being able to build and explore worlds created by other players within the game feels like a long-awaited feature.
