According to the current plan for Version 6.4, which started in mid-February 2026, the update should finish around April. If the rumours are true, this means Version 6.5 could be released around April 8, 2026, though the exact date may vary depending on your location and when server maintenance happens.
What to expect from the next update
Recent leaks suggest Version 6.5 will heavily feature content for players who’ve reached the endgame, including a reset of the Spiral Abyss. Details about changes to Floor 12, including buffs and enemy types, have also surfaced. These buffs seem to benefit teams focused on Lunar reactions and quick attacks, so players may need to rethink their current team compositions.
Imaginarium Theatre will likely be refreshed with a focus on Hydro, Pyro, and Dendro elements, featuring new bosses and characters to test your skills. Plus, Stygian Onslaught will be back soon, offering its regular series of rotating boss challenges.
The upcoming update is expected to introduce a new character named Linnea. Leaks suggest that Chasca, Neffer, and Lauma will be returning characters. Players might also get to explore a new location called Dornman Port, which could offer additional rewards. We’ll have all the specifics during the official livestream.
Final Thoughts
A new update for Genshin Impact is coming soon! The livestream will share all the details, and Version 6.5 is expected in early April 2026, so players won’t have to wait long to experience the latest content.
