HoYoverse has announced that Genshin Impact Version 7.1 will go live on September 23, pushing players deeper into the escalating crisis in Snezhnaya.
Players will finally confront the Tsaritsa, uncover her long‑running strategy to collect the Gnoses, and face Ronova, the Ruler of Death, whose authority has severely hindered Snezhnaya’s progress. Ronova also appears as a new Weekly Boss, giving players a chance to challenge her overwhelming power firsthand.
Vesna and Vodyanitsa Join as New 5‑Star Characters
Version 7.1 introduces two new 5‑star characters who specialize in enhancing Stellar Swirl reactions.
Vesna — 5‑Star Anemo Sword
The youngest Commander in Druzhna history, Vesna is fiercely loyal to the Tsaritsa. Her kit revolves around Spirit Blades, Sword Essence, and powerful AoE Anemo DMG. As a Vila, she can also take flight during exploration, offering unique traversal options.
Vodyanitsa — 5‑Star Hydro Catalyst
Prima Donna of the Korolevskiy Troupe and a kind‑hearted Water Imp. Her abilities reduce enemy RES, boost ATK, empower Stellar Vortices, and allow swift movement through water.
Both characters headline the first phase of Version 7.1 Event Wishes.
