The 5.0 livestream date and times for Genshin Impact were just announced and we can’t wait for everyone to find out the Banner schedules and events.
The version 5.0 introduces Natlan, the next big region in Genshin Impact which is set to debut two new 5-star Natlan Characters alongside the Pyro Archon. There also seems to be a new 4-star character amongst its banners, with the livestream all set to provide more information on who they are, and what the new & returning events will be.
We’ve tried to cover all the exact 5.0 update livestream date and time and have also shed some light on what we know so far on the leaks for the upcoming banners.

The banner leaks for Genshin Impact 5.0
Although there are hardly two days left for the event and banner reveals in the 5.0 live stream, leaks and official information seem to be pointing towards the most likely upcoming 5.0 banners in phase 1 and phase 2.
Drip Marketing in some recent posts has confirmed on Genshin Impact’s X account that Mualani, Kinich, and Kachina are on the 5.0 Banners. Mualani seems to be Hydro, Kinich is Dendro, and Kachina a Geo. Their rarities or weapons are some unknowns even as of now, but looking back at history based on their hyping schedules – we believe Mualani and Kinich will most probably by 5-Stars with Kachina being a 4-star.
And the buck doesn’t stop here! A popular and reliable leaker on Social Media – Dimbreath, has mentioned that Kazuha would be running alongside Mualani and Raiden Shogun would be running alongside Kinich, where Kazuha would be the 5-star Anemo Sword wielder & Raiden Shogun the 5-star electro polearm wielder.
All things due, if the leaks and the information hold their strength by the time the 5.0 live stream is online, here is how the 5.0 banner for Genshin Impact would look like:
- Mualani – Phase 1
- Kazuha – Phase 1
- Kinich – Phase 2
- Raiden Shogun – Phase 2
- Kachina – Phase 1 or Phase 2
Again, we remind you time and again that these leaks – are just what the name suggests – speculative leaks with no confirmations – so hopefully we will see you all on the Genshin 5.0 Livestream when it goes up and in the meantime stay tuned to Talkesport for confirmed notes on who the next banners in Genshin Impact will be!
