Genshin Impact 7.1: Release Date, Banners and Rewards
Genshin Impact 7.1 arrives on 23 September 2026. Explore Vesna and Vodyanitsa banners, Moonchase, anniversary conditions and a practical Primogem plan.
Genshin Impact 7.1, “A Rekviem for the Underworld,” is announced for 23 September 2026. Gematsu and Final Weapon’s coverage of HoYoverse’s announcement names Vesna and Vodyanitsa as new characters, alongside Moonchase Festival and sixth-anniversary content.
Release date versus maintenance time
23 September is the announced release date, not a confirmed local server-opening time. The reports checked do not establish maintenance start or end times, so an exact US or UK conversion would be premature. Check in-game notices for maintenance, pre-download and platform details.
Version 7.1 banner order
| Phase | Characters | Details |
|---|---|---|
| First | Vesna / Vodyanitsa | New five-stars |
| Second | Skirk / Escoffier | Returning characters |
Vesna is an Anemo sword character; Vodyanitsa uses Hydro and a catalyst. The coverage highlights their Stellar Swirl interactions. Confirm exact banner windows and accompanying four-star characters in Event Wish details. Try the character trial before deciding whether either character fits your team.
Moonchase and anniversary character choices
Moonchase returns to Liyue as the game celebrates six years. Gematsu’s announcement recap ties the limited five-star selector to completing the latest Archon Quest and choosing from a specified pool. A standard five-star choice is separate. This does not mean every character is available unconditionally: check the roster, quest requirements and claim deadline in the event screen.
Plan your Primogems before pulling
Count your current Primogems and Intertwined Fates first. Do not treat unclaimed event rewards as spendable balance. One wish costs 160 Primogems, so ten require 1,600; that arithmetic does not guarantee a particular character. Review pity and guarantee status against the relevant banner rules.
Genesis Crystals convert to Primogems at 1:1. The Genesis Crystal guide explains the different balances. Check the anniversary selection pool before spending wishes on a character that might meet your needs through that selection.
Before buying a top-up
If you choose additional currency, compare Genshin Impact Genesis Crystal packs against your actual shortfall. Use the correct UID and server at DostGame; do not share passwords or verification codes. The page language does not determine your account’s server.
An anniversary announcement does not establish doubled packs or changed prices. A 7.1 first-top-up reset was not verified in this research. Read the first-top-up bonus conditions, check eligibility in your account and avoid counting a standard pack bonus twice.
