Genshin Impact is about to enter its next chapter with the arrival of Version 6.0, “Luna I”, which will bring with it new regions, characters, and long-awaited story updates. And of course, we’re getting three new characters, and the first one is Lauma, who will debut with the version release. But when exactly is that?
As the first character of Nod Krai, Lauma’s banner is pretty hype. Especially because she’s also one of the first dendro characters we’ve gotten in a while. And with the new Lunar-Bloom mechanic, she might be one of the more interesting characters recently. If you’re excited to get her, you don’t have to wait much longer.
Genshin Impact 6.0: Lauma Banner Release Time and Countdown
It’s already been confirmed by Hoyoverse that Lauma’s banner will go live in Phase 1 of Version 6.0, making her the headline character of the new update. Her banner runs from September 9 to September 30, 2025, depending on server region. Players in North America will gain access to the update and her banner on the evening of September 9, while those in Europe and Asia can start pulling from September 10.

What Else Are We Getting in Genshin Impact 6.0?
Version 6.0 is one of the biggest patches in Genshin Impact’s history, coinciding with the game’s fifth anniversary. The update introduces the new region of Nod-Krai, a mysterious northern land connected to Snezhnaya, but we won’t be getting the full region just yet. This is just the beginning.
Alongside Lauma, we’re also gonna get other characters:
- Flins (5-star Electro Polearm) – debuting in Phase 2.
- Aino (4-star Hydro Claymore) – available for free through the Archon Quest.
