Genshin Impact Version Luna II: Nefer Debuts + Miliastra Wonderland Launch

The latest major update for Genshin Impact, titled Version “Luna II” and subtitled “Song of the Welkin Moon: Reprise — An Elegy for Faded Moonlight”, officially launches on October 22 2025. This patch introduces a slew of new content—from a brand‑new 5★ Dendro character and deep Archon Quest chapters, to the long‑awaited UGC system, Miliastra Wonderland. Whether you’re a returning ghislain or a newcomer, there’s a lot to unpack.

🆕 What’s New in Version Luna II

🧙 New Playable Character: Nefer

• Nefer enters the roster as a 5‑star Dendro Catalyst wielder, head of the Curatorium of Secrets, bringing fresh mechanics centered on the new Lunar‑Bloom reaction.

• Her Skill allows absorption of Verdant Dew to convert Charged Attacks into special ones that cost no stamina and deal Lunar‑Bloom damage.

• Her Burst launches a field of moonlit Dendro energy, converting Dendro Cores into Seeds of Deceit when the party is in the Ascendant Gleam state, boosting damage significantly.

• Nefer’s banner: Phase I features Nefer + a rerun of Furina; Phase II includes reruns of Arlecchino and Zhongli.

🎮 Miliastra Wonderland: UGC Mode Arrives

• For the first time, players can create, play, and share their own stages via the new Miliastra system. Think sandbox tools, terrain modules, logic flows, custom games, and social hang‑outs.

• Features: Manekin avatar customization, outfit shops, collaborative modes, and rewards like trial vouchers and outfit sets.

• Supports both solo creativity and multiplayer participation—an entirely new layer of gameplay.

📜 Archon Quests & Nod‑Krai Story Progress

• The storyline continues in Nod‑Krai with Act III: “A Nation That Doesn’t Exist” and Act IV: “An Elegy for Faded Moonlight”.

• Characters like Grand Master Varka and the Fatui Harbinger Arlecchino join the fray against the threat Rerir.

• Completion of the Archon Quest rewards: 560 Primogems + Nefer ascension materials.
