Genshin Impact 4.6 is coming out on April 24th, which is a Wednesday. It'll probably follow the regular maintenance schedule for new updates, meaning it'll drop at 4am in British Summer Time. But because of time zone differences, it'll actually be released in the United States on April 23rd, Tuesday, at 8pm Pacific Time. Next let’s look into the details revealed in the official livestream.
Phase 1 Banner: Arlecchino and Lyney
The release of Arlecchino's banner is set for Phase 1 of Version 4.6, right alongside Lyney's first rerun banner! Both of these banners will be available from April 24th, 2024 to May 14th, 2024.
And speaking of weapons, the Weapon Banner for Version 4.6 Phase 1 is rumored to feature Lyney's top-tier weapon, The First Great Magic, along with a brand new 5-star polearm called Crimson Moon's Semblance. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
Phase 2 Banner: Wanderer and Baizhu
Phase 2 of Version 4.6 is all about Baizhu and Wanderer's rerun banners, which will be around from May 14th to June 4th, 2024.
Their top-tier weapons, Tulaytullah's Remembrance and Jadefall's Splendor, are rumored to make an appearance in the Epitome Invocation banner for Phase 2 too!
Additionally, version 4.6 does not have a second Chronicled Wish Banner.
Two New Artifacts Sets in Version 4.6
In Version 4.6, we're getting two new artifact sets: Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy and Unfinished Reverie. Both of these cool artifacts can be found in an artifact domain that's part of the 4.6 update. So excited to see what they bring!
New Weapon for Arlecchino
The new 5-Star polearm, Crimson Moon's Semblance, is set to make its debut in Version 4.6. This mean and nasty polearm is probably going to be Arlecchino's top choice for a weapon!

New Events in Genshin Impact Version 4.6
1. Arataki's Tour de Force of Awesomeness
Itto's Rockin' For Life is a three-stage bash! First, dance to your fave game tunes. Then, hunt for stuff to give the music spot a makeover. Last, find fans for a mini-game to help them find lost song notes. Bonus: Complete challenges to get Gorou and a new Nightwind Horn instrument. Plus, grab Primogems and leveling rewards!
2. Specially-Shaped Saurian Search
There's an exciting new quest called Specially-Shaped Saurian Search. A chef who just got back from Natlan needs our help to track down and take down some enemies. It might sound like a simple collection mission, but it's actually a combat challenge! You'll have to mix up your 'Strategy' buffs to beat different foes.
3. Vibro-Crystal Applications
Vibro-Crystal Applications is returning to The Chasm for a new combat event! Fontaine researchers are here to test the crystals' resonance and need your help. Choose from two teams, even pick trial characters. The trick is matching two different crystals for buffs: one sets conditions, the other gives effects when met.
4. Windtrace: Seekers and Strategy
Windtrace is a fun hide-and-seek game with two teams - Rebels and Hunters. Rebels turn into objects to hide from Hunters, who use special skills to find them. But now, it got new updates!
