What is the current Genshin Impact banner?

The current Genshin Impact banner is ‘The Hearth’s Ashen Shadow’ which features the brand-new 5-star Pyro character Arlecchino and was released on April 24, 2024. At the same time, you can also grab a copy of Lyney during his rerun in the ‘Conjuring Chiaroscuro‘ banner. 

Travelers will be able to obtain Arlecchino and Lyney by pulling on the current banners, as well as the following 4-stars: 

  • Xiangling (Polearm, Pyro) 
  • Freminet (Claymore, Cryo)
  • Lynette (Bow, Anemo)

When does the current Genshin Impact banner end?

The current banners will end on May 14, 2024, which gives Travelers plenty of time to save up Primogems and spend them on their banners.

We’ll update this section should HoYoverse extend this date further.
