Genshin Impact Update 7.1: Promo Codes from the Stream, Overview, Banners, Characters, and Everything We Know

Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact Update 7.1 will continue Xingqiu’s story and serve as the game’s sixth-anniversary patch. HoYoverse has already announced a special livestream for September 12, where the developers will showcase new content and give away limited-time promo codes. The new characters Spring and Water Spirit have already been revealed, but the developers will disclose the full roster and banner order, events, and anniversary rewards during the stream. In this article, we’ve compiled everything known about the update and will update the content after the stream.

Genshin Impact 7.1 Developer Stream — Promo Codes

The developers’ stream for Update 7.1 will take place on September 12, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Moscow Time. The stream will be broadcast on Genshin Impact’s official YouTube and Twitch channels. During the stream, the developers will present the version’s new content, banners, and events, and will also give away three limited-time promo codes for in-game items. 

The promo codes from the stream will be posted here. We’ll update this article once the developers share the codes.

Genshin Impact Version 7.1 Release Date

Genshin Impact Update 7.1 is expected on September 23, 2026, and will run through November 3. The first phase will run from September 23 to October 14, and the second phase will run from October 14 until the end of the patch.

Genshin Impact Version 7.1 Banners

Insiders have shared information about two new characters—Guild Leader Vesna and opera singer Vodianitsa.

  • Vesna (Anemo, one-handed) — the main damage dealer for the Stellar Scatter reaction.
  • Vodyanitsa (Hydro, Catalyst) is a healer and a Frozen buff provider.

Insiders also mention the return of Skirk and Escoffier to the banners. It is currently unknown who will be included in the banner featuring four-star characters.

Vesna

Vesna is the main damage dealer for the new Stellar Scatter mechanic. It is triggered by the interaction of Anemo and Cryo characters with Stellar mechanics (i.e., without Electro characters). Vesna is also a winged elf and can glide on her wings, much like the enemy companions that Travelers encounter in the open world.

Water Spirit

Vodyanitsa is a rather peculiar character whose mechanics are designed to work with Stellar Reactions; however, due to Hydro’s frequent ticks, she can disrupt a standard Stellar Superconductor team’s Hydro status interaction. Her skills lower enemies’ resistance and buff interruption resistance.

She can still serve as a standard healer in any other team and buff Freeze in a squad with Ayaka, Skirke, or Gan Yu. She also has a unique movement ability—in water, she transforms into a mermaid.

New Weapons in Genshin Impact 7.1

The patch will introduce many new 4-star weapons—likely to fill the weapon banner, since craftable weapons and Battle Pass weapons were released in Patch 7.0.

4-Star:

  • “New Branch,” one-handed, 510 Attack, 55.1% Critical Damage — After using an Elemental Skill, the equipped character gains the ability to activate “Thicket” for 12 seconds whenever an attack hits an enemy. This effect increases Attack Power by 4% and Elemental Mastery by 20 for 6 seconds. Thickets stack up to 3 times and can trigger no more than once per second. The effect activates even if the equipped character is outside the battlefield. Radiance — Starlight: Instead of the usual buff, Thicket increases Attack Power by 6% and the damage of the equipped character’s Starlight reactions by 8%.
  • “Silver Light,” one-handed, 510 Attack, 41.3% Attack Power — After using an Elemental Skill, the character’s Elemental Mastery increases by 52 for 12 seconds. This bonus can stack up to 2 times, with the duration of each effect level calculated separately.
  • “Frozen Heart of Winter,” Catalyst, 510 Attack, 55.1% Critical Damage — The wielder gains a Silver Blood Pact. For each Cryo character in the party, the equipped character’s Elemental Mastery increases by 24; for each Electro character, Attack increases by 4.8%. This bonus accounts for a maximum of 4 Cryo or Electro characters. Radiance — Starlight: Instead of the usual bonuses for each Cryo or Electro character, Silver Blood Pact increases the equipped character’s Elemental Mastery by 20 points and the damage of Starlight reactions by 6%.
  • “Snow Whirlwind Melodies,” ranged, 510 Attack, 27.6% crit chance — Energy regeneration is increased by 20%. If the equipped character’s elemental skill or elemental burst hits an enemy, the character gains 1 level of Hymn of the Pure. This effect stacks up to 3 times and activates no more than once every 0.03 seconds. After accumulating 3 levels, “Hymn of the Pure” disappears and activates “Deadly Snake Venom.” For 12 seconds, the reaction damage from “Starlight” of all nearby party members is increased by 24%. While “Deadly Snake Venom” is active, you cannot gain new levels of “Hymn of the Pure.” Both effects take effect even if the equipped character is outside the battlefield.

Heroines’ 5-star Signs:

  • “Beyond the Cocoon,” one-handed, 674 Attack, 44.1% Critical Damage — Each time an Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst is activated, the equipped character sequentially gains one of three effects:
    • Wind of Sincerity—Increases critical damage by 56% for 10 seconds.
    • Wind of Rebellion — Increases Star Scatter damage by 36% for 10 seconds.
    • Wind of Abundance — Restores 5 Energy. This can restore a maximum of 5 Energy every 4 seconds.
  • If the equipped character leaves the battlefield, active effects disappear, and the sequence of obtaining them is reset.
  • “Ode to the Whirlpool,” Catalyst, 541 Attack, 66.1% HP — Healing Bonus increases by 4%. When the equipped character heals allies, they gain Drink of Truth for 10 seconds. This effect increases max HP by 4% and boosts the active character’s attack power by 0.4% for every 1,000 units of max HP above 40,000 units. The maximum attack power bonus is 8%. “Elixir of Truth” stacks up to 3 times. If nearby party members activate “Freeze” or “Stellar Dispersion,” the bonuses to max HP and attack power from “Elixir of Truth” are further increased by 75% for the next 5 seconds. These effects remain active even when the equipped character is off the battlefield.

New Map in Genshin Impact Update 7.1

The developers do not plan to expand the map with the release of Update 7.1. However, they will likely add new bosses to help players level up the heroines in this patch.

New Storyline for Genshin Impact 7.1

The new patch will continue the Archon Quest storyline, in which Travelers will get to know Vodyanitsa and Vesna better. Spring will also have her own Legendary Quest, where players can learn more about the background of the Companions and the heroine’s friendship with the Cryo Archon. According to leaks, the Water Spirit’s quest will be similar to the Legendary Quests for Durrin, Nicole, or Sandrone, and it will take about a week to complete.

Genshin Impact Patch 7.1 Events

The developers will announce major and minor events during a special livestream. Bookmark this post—we’ll keep it updated.
