Genshin Impact Wins Big! 5.8–6.0 Banners Leaked: Skirk’s Teammates Revealed, 6 New Characters Incoming, Weapon Skins Now Obtainable!

In the Version 5.7 banners, two new characters are joining the roster: the 5-star Cryo sword DPS Skirk, and the 4-star Hydro sword user Talia. The banner reruns for 5.7 have also been confirmed: Murata (the Pyro Archon), Shenhe, and The Perfumer. Travelers who’ve been waiting for these characters—don’t miss your chance!

Alongside the arrival of heavy-hitting characters like Skirk and Murata in Version 5.7, a new Abyss Challenge will be introduced. Early reports suggest the first three floors will reward up to 450 Primogems, making them essentially free to claim. Additionally, players can earn weapon skin illusions as event rewards.

How to get them: By spending 120 Original Resin, you’ll receive an extra reward; if you spend 1,200 Resin, you’ll unlock a mystery prize—which is speculated to be a new weapon skin. For fans of cosmetics, this is definitely something to look forward to.

Beyond the rerun banners of Murata, Shenhe, and The Perfumer in 5.7, Version 5.8 is expected to bring a Hydro support character rumored to synergize perfectly with Skirk—possibly her “after-sales support” teammate. Then, in the major 6.0 update set in Natlan, things get even more exciting.

Not only will we see the introduction of 11 new factions, but six new characters are expected to debut—including the Moon Goddess, a mysterious maiden, the long-awaited Varka, a Cryo catalyst user, and a new Geo DPS. With such a content-rich update, 6.0 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated patches yet.
