The Next Genshin Impact banner: release date, date, and featured characters [Version3.1]

In Version 3.1, who is featured on the Genshin Impact banners, and when will it be released? Genshin Impact works on a gacha system, where players can spend various in-game and real-world currencies to Wish on a character''s banner in the hopes of getting a playable version.

While many characters are permanently available as potential exits from the gacha, others generally 5-star characters are only available during limited periods as part of Character Event Wish banners. Each character event wish banner features one 5-star character and three 4-star characters with an even greater decrease risk, and the 5-star character is often unique to the banner and unobtainable in any other way.

We''ve reviewed everything we know about Genshin Impact''s current and upcoming banners, including release dates and dates for the next banner changeover. Further down the page, we''ve reviewed certain characters who are available to purchase from the current and upcoming stock in Paimon''s Bargains.

Genshin Impact: current event banner

Twilight Arbiter and Ballad in Goblets are among the two competing Character Event Wish banners in Genshin Impact for Version 3.1 (Phase I). The latter introduces Cyno, a brand new 5-star Electro polearm wielder, while the latter is a welcome second run this year for Venti.

These banners have been available to wish on since Wednesday, September 28th at 4am BST / Tuesday, September 27th at 11pm EDT / 8pm PDT, and are expected to turn off on Friday, October 14th at 6pm BST / 6pm EDT / 3pm PDT.

Three 4-star characters are shown on both banners with an increased drop rate. Candace a brand new character from the game, alongside rate ups for Sayu and Kuki Shinobu. Note that although the trio of promoted 4-star characters can be pulled from either banner, the featured 5-star characters can only be chosen by wishing on their own banners. However, sadness persists on and between both the same banners.

Additional details about the characters with increasing drop rates on the current banners may be found in the following pages:

• Cyno (5-star, new)
• Candace (4-star, new)
• Sayu (4-star)
• Kuki Shinobu (4-star)

• Venti (5-star)
• Candace (4-star, new)
• Sayu (4-star)
• Kuki Shinobu (4-star)

Genshin Impact: future event banners

The release of Genshin Impact Version 3.1 and Phase II is scheduled for Friday, October 14th. Due to the reduced phase times for the remainder of 2022, the changes will take place at a different time than expected, so even veteran fans may want to take note of the temporary changes to the schedule as HoYoverse recovers from the time lost earlier this summer.

As we learn more, Phase II will see the debut of another new 5-star Hydro character, Nilou, and a rerun for Albedo. By the looks of things, there''ll be no new 4-stars on this phase, but this page will keep up with details of which 4-stars will be receiving increase drop rates.
