Genshin Impact 6.4 Luna V Launches, Introduces 5-Star Varka, Mondstadt Return

HoYoverse pushed Genshin Impact Version 6.4, codenamed "Luna V," live on global servers on February 24, 2026, giving players immediate access to the update's headline feature: a new 5-star character named Varka. The update arrives as the latest major seasonal release for the open-world gacha RPG and is now available for download across platforms.

Varka is the marquee addition in Version 6.4, introduced as the update's 5-star character. HoYoverse lists Varka as the banner's focal point for this release, positioning the character at the center of Version 6.4's character rollout and banner economy. Players seeking Varka will encounter the character as part of the Luna V update's character lineup.

Version 6.4 also brings a set of new events tied to the seasonal cycle of Genshin Impact; HoYoverse announced multiple in-game activities as part of the Luna V patch. These events are unlocked after updating to Version 6.4 on global servers and form the bulk of the seasonal content additions alongside the new character.

The update includes a return to Mondstadt, marking a renewed focus on one of Genshin Impact's core regions in the game's map rotation. Mondstadt's reappearance in Version 6.4 is part of the Luna V update's content plan and accompanies the new events and Varka's introduction, giving players reason to revisit familiar locales while exploring the fresh additions.

HoYoverse framed Version 6.4 "Luna V" as the latest major seasonal update to the open-world gacha RPG, and the studio rolled the patch live worldwide on February 24, 2026. Players who log in after installing the Feb 24 update will find Varka available as the update's headline 5-star character, the Mondstadt return present in the world, and the new events accessible from Version 6.4's event menu.

Expect further post-launch details, in-game balancing, and schedule notes from HoYoverse as Version 6.4 settles on global servers; for now, the concrete changes are live: Version 6.4 "Luna V," 5-star Varka, a return to Mondstadt, and the set of new events deployed on February 24, 2026.
