The Version Luna II update for Genshin Impact, dubbed “Song of the Welkin Moon: Reprise,” will launch on October 22, developer miHoYo announced.

Here is an overview of the update, via miHoYo:

The long-awaited user-generated content system Miliastra Wonderland is also ready for adventure, featuring hundreds of Stages that encourage creativity and exploration. The update also brings back familiar faces like Varka and Arlecchino, who join forces against the threats in Nod-Krai. Meanwhile, Nefer debuts as a playable character, offering exciting new possibilities for unleashing Lunar-Bloom damage.”
The brand new Miliastra Wonderland system has officially launched. The premier will offer hundreds of diverse Stages for players to explore. Players who have completed Act I of the Archon Quest Prologue, “The Outlander Who Caught the Wind,” can explore this magical world freely and immerse themselves in a wide range of gameplay experiences, including sims management, party games, PvP battles, adventure challenges, and more. They can meet new friends or reconnect with other players to enjoy both the thrill of teamwork and competition, or choose to play solo and savor the satisfaction of solving intricate puzzles. Many Stages also feature achievements, ranking systems, and leaderboards, inspiring players to sharpen their skills and pursue new winning strategies.
Manekins, as the players’ avatars, can be customized to match individual preferences, allowing players to show off their unique styles both in the Wonderland and in Teyvat. From hair and facial features to accessories and outfits, their appearance can be freely customized. Outfit Components can be mixed and matched to create a unique look. Alternatively, players can opt for a preset outfit set with a single click. More rewards await players in Miliastra Wonderland through events and activities, including trial vouchers for outfits, outfit sets, and more.
Everyone can step into the role of Craftsperson with the Miliastra Sandbox and unleash their creativity. This editing tool enables users to design their own Stages and experiences, utilizing a wide array of gameplay features and resources that Genshin Impact has built up. To create their own Stages, Craftspeople can first edit various components and modules, such as terrains, item components and even character skills, and then link different elements together with logic flows while flexibly configuring various Stage types and game modes. Comprehensive support tools and services will make the creative process smoother and more rewarding, offering official tutorials, a dedicated forum, opportunities for Stage recommendations, and additional incentive programs, etc.

Apart from the user-generated content system, this new update also introduces a compelling Archon Quest with many old friends returning. Following the previous Archon Quest, players will continue to face the threat posed by the “Racher of Solnari,” Rerir. However, the unyielding Grand Master Varka will finally make an appearance to lend a hand. At the same time, unexpected allies including “The Knave,” and “The Marionette” from the Fatui Harbingers will also join the fight. Under the guidance of The Damselette, Nefer from the Curatorium of Secrets will provide further intel on Rerir, possibly uncovering his obsessions and unveiling new ways to confront him. The players’ fierce battle with Rerir will yield rewards, as they can claim an extra 560 Primogems upon completing the Archon Quest in Version “Luna II.”
Nefer becomes playable as a 5-star Dendro catalyst wielder, introducing new ways to unleash Lunar-Bloom damage. She can harness Verdant Dew to trigger powerful Lunar-Bloom damage. By using her Elemental Skill, she can absorb Verdant Dew, transforming her Charged Attacks into special Charged Attacks that consume no Stamina and deal Lunar-Bloom damage. Additionally, once the party enters Ascendant Gleam state, Nefer can convert Dendro Cores on the field into Seeds of Deceit, which can be used to further enhance the damage of her special Charged Attacks. What’s more, as the head of the Curatorium of Secrets, she possesses an uncanny ability to sense when even the most unassuming people are hiding something. Players can trade all the intel she collects at the Adventurers’ Guild in exchange for access to fun side stories.
In the first half of Version “Luna II,” Event Wishes feature Nefer alongside the rerun of Furina, while the second half brings back both Arlecchino and Zhongli.
The adventures continue in various events and activities, offering an abundance of rewards. Players can assist The Damselette with Commissions in exchange for rewards, including the Ascendant Gleam state and exclusive namecards. In addition, by uncovering new secrets in the Seasonal Event in Sumeru, players can get Primogem rewards and invite Collei to join their party for free.

Genshin Impact is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, PC via client and Epic Games Store, iOS via the App Store, and Android via Google Play.
