The Version Luna VII update for Genshin Impact, dubbed “Song of the Welkin Moon: Andante – Truth Amongst the Pages of Purana,” will launch on May 20, developer miHoYo announced.

Here is an overview of the update, via miHoYo:

In this update, players will return to Sumeru for a brand-new Archon Quest, as the nation renowned for its wisdom is plunged into turmoil amid an escalating crisis. The update will also introduce three new playable characters: Nicole, the first playable member of the Hexenzirkel; Lohen, a knight and vice-captain; and Prune, the “Witch Hunter.” In addition, limited-time events and new content updates for Miliastra Wonderland will be available.
Version “Luna VII” introduces a pivotal new Archon Quest, pushing Sumeru to the brink of an unprecedented crisis. As Nahida falls into an inexplicable slumber, Sumeru teeters on the edge of chaos. Meanwhile, a mysterious new adversary emerges, bearing striking similarities to Il Dottore, who was long believed to have been defeated. The looming threat draws Collei, Ibis King Thoth, Nicole, and other familiar allies into an ever-intensifying conflict. Players who complete this chapter during the limited-time period can obtain up to 560 Primogems and Nicole’s Ascension Materials, as well as unlock a formidable new Weekly Boss with unpredictable abilities and the power to summon devastating forces. To help players revisit their past adventures, the new “Guiding Notes” feature will provide in-game story recaps, while improved quest autosave prompts further enhance the narrative experience.
Beyond the main storyline, Version “Luna VII” also marks the debut of Nicole Reeyn, the first playable mage from the Hexenzirkel—a voiceless angel whose words speak directly to the heart. Joining the roster as a 5-star Pyro Catalyst wielder, Nicole brings powerful teamwide support to the battlefield. Her Elemental Skill grants an ATK Bonus to all party members, including those off the field, while generating a shield. Her Elemental Burst summons an Arcane Projection that follows the active character, unleashing Coordinated Attacks based on that character’s Elemental Type and gaining further enhancements under the Hexerei: Secret Rite effect. Beyond combat, Nicole can use her Charged Attack to call upon a Seelie, guiding her toward nearby treasure. Version “Luna VII” will also open the interior of the Witch’s Lodge in Nicole’s Meeting Point: The Witch’s Garden for the first time, with new rooms, stories, and hidden rewards unlocking each week.

Lohen, Vice Captain of the Knights of Favonius’ Fifth Company, further expands the roster as a new 5-star character. A Cryo Polearm wielder, Lohen brings a distinctive and aggressive combat style to the battlefield, dealing substantial Cryo DMG through the management of two unique resources: “Joy” and “Will to Win.” By entering the Masterstroke state through his Elemental Skill, he can build up and consume Joy to unleash enhanced skills, while Will to Win accumulates as his teammates engage in battle, further amplifying his combat potential. When paired with Hexerei characters, Lohen’s strengths can be brought even further to the fore. His Story Quest will also reveal an untold chapter from the history of the Knights of Favonius.
Prune, a self-proclaimed “Witch Hunter” certified by none other than Alice, will also join the adventure alongside the two new companions. As a 4-star Anemo Catalyst wielder, she uses a bell and a giant hammer to deal multi-Elemental DMG and trigger Swirl reactions. The Version “Luna VII” Event Wishes will begin with Nicole and Prune’s debuts in the first half, accompanied by Durin’s rerun, before the second half introduces Lohen and brings back Mavuika.
A new limited-time event centered on Klee’s Little Hexenzirkel will invite players to take part in a variety of fun mini-games alongside Qiqi, Yaoyao, Sayu, and its newest member, Prune. Players can obtain a range of rewards, including the exclusive weapon appearance “Super Awesome Magic Key.”
Meanwhile, Miliastra Wonderland will host a special sports festival for players to enjoy. In addition, Manekins can now perform actions across Teyvat, allowing players to capture even more memorable moments with the Kamera. Version “Luna VII” will also expand its suite of editing tools and assets.
Genshin Impact Version Luna VII arrives on May 20, bringing a new Archon Quest set amid a crisis in Sumeru, along with the debuts of Nicole, Lohen, and Prune.

Genshin Impact is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC via client and Epic Games Store, iOS via the App Store, and Android via Google Play.
