Genshin Impact 7.0 Everwinter Without Mercy release date, Phase I Odette banner, Stellar Swirl and confirmed changes.
Genshin Impact Version 7.0, “Everwinter Without Mercy,” launched on 12 August 2026. This guide uses verified HoYoverse information, not leaks.
Phase I banner
The character event wish is Swan's Shadow in Silken Ice, featuring the five-star Cryo character “Swirling Snow” Odette with an increased acquisition rate. The announced period runs until 1 September 2026; check the exact end time in your server. Before wishing, review pity, guarantee and Primogem balance. Spending does not guarantee an early character.
Stellar Swirl
Version 7.0 introduces the Stellar Swirl reaction connected to Stellar Glimmer. Use in-game skill descriptions for exact conditions and multipliers when building teams.
Update checklist
- Update the client and launcher.
- Claim maintenance compensation and event mail before expiry.
- Check the Phase I end time on your server.
- Try Odette in the character trial.
- Record pity and guarantee before spending.
Primogem planning
One wish costs 160 Primogems. Genesis Crystals convert 1:1 into Primogems and cannot be converted back. Count free event rewards, daily commissions and Intertwined Fates before buying more.
Compare packs in the Genshin Impact category. For Phase II and later balance changes, follow official HoYoverse news and in-game notices.
