Genshin Impact update Luna II release time, server downtime, and preload

Genshin Impact Luna II (6.1) arrives on October 22, 2025, to continue the Traveler’s adventures in Nod-Krai and open the doors to the game’s ambitious UGC mode, Miliastra Wonderland.

Version Luna II is herding us towards a showdown between Rerir and Columbina, who will not only have the Traveler in her corner — Varka is attempting to rally all of Nod-Krai’s factions to her side, which includes the Fatui Harbingers Sandrone and Arlecchino.

The Luna II banners, meanwhile, provide an opportunity to recruit Nefer, whose connections will play a pivotal role in getting everyone on the same page for the upcoming battle.

Genshin Impact update Luna II: release time

HoYoverse rarely needs any more time than the scheduled downtime to get all that work done, so here’s when Genshin Impact update Luna II should be available in your timezone according to schedule:

• October 21, 10pm PDT
• October 22, 12am CDT
• October 22, 1am EDT

In case there are technical hiccups, HoYoverse tends to apologize for the inconvenience by adding another helping of Primogems to the gift. Whatever the case, don’t forget to claim the package in the 30 days following the update, as the message containing the freebies will delete itself after that deadline.
