The Genshin Impact Luna V Special Program livestream for Version 6.4 (also known as Homeward, He Who Caught the Wind) aired on February 13, 2026 across official HoYoverse channels. The broadcast revealed a wealth of details about the upcoming update, including banners, events, new features, livestream codes, and the fresh narrative direction as Genshin Impact continues its epic story beyond Nod-Krai.

Release Date and Version Overview

The Luna V (6.4) update is scheduled to launch on February 25, 2026. It continues Genshin Impact’s ongoing pattern of major version updates, with two banner phases spread throughout the patch’s duration.

Version Luna V’s title, Homeward, He Who Caught the Wind, reflects a narrative shift back to Mondstadt after the extended Nod-Krai storyline.

New Playable Character and Banner Lineup

The highlight of the Luna V stream was the big reveal of Varka, the long-anticipated Anemo 5-star character and Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius. His long-awaited playable debut sets the tone for this update’s focus on Mondstadt heritage.

According to banner details shared during and after the broadcast:

• Phase 1 features Varka as the new premier banner character alongside the Mondstadt Chronicle banner lineup.
• Phase 2 will follow with returning favorites such as Skirk and later in the patch cycle.

These banners offer Travelers the chance to pull both exciting new faces and beloved staples from Mondstadt lore.

Livestream Codes and Free Rewards

As is tradition, HoYoverse provided several redeem codes during the Luna V Special Program that players can use to claim free in-game rewards, including Primogems and enhancement materials. These codes are limited-time and should be redeemed early via the game or the official redemption site.

These redemption codes are typically valid for only a few days after the livestream, so redeem them as soon as possible to ensure you receive all rewards.

Region Updates and World Additions

The Luna V update will bring significant world and gameplay expansions, including:

• Miliastra Wonderland upgrades: a feature area that will receive new activities and customization options.
• Voice interaction features within certain regions, adding a deeper layer of immersion.

Additionally, a new boss encounter – the Radiant Moongecko – was highlighted in the stream as a major challenge arriving with the new version, offering fresh combat experiences for endgame players.

Events and In-Game Activities

During Version 6.4, Genshin Impact will host a variety of limited-time events tied to the update:

• Seasonal celebrations and milestone quests that reward Primogems, rare artifacts, and character-enhancing materials.
• Interactive Wonderland events within Miliastra Wonderland that offer cosmetic rewards and surprises for players participating early in the patch.

These events aim to balance fun gameplay with meaningful rewards that help players progress quickly in the new version
