Hoyoverse Announces Genshin Impact Luna IV Livestream
Hoyoverse has surprised fans by announcing the Genshin Impact Luna IV (Version 6.3) livestream earlier than expected. The event will reveal upcoming character banners, story content, and limited-time events, giving players a first glimpse at the new regions and quests arriving in the next major update. Community speculation suggests that long-awaited character reruns and system improvements will also be part of the reveal.
After releasing the Genshin Impact Columbina drip marketing for Luna IV earlier today, Hoyoverse has also decided to announce the date and time for the Luna IV livestream. The Genshin Impact Luna IV livestream will premiere on January 1, 2026, 09:00 PM (PST), or January 2, 01:00 PM (CST). This update will reveal details about the upcoming Luna IV content, like the next Genshin Impact banners, while also giving Genshin Impact codes.
The surprising part about this announcement is that it is over three weeks early. Normally, Hoyoverse announces its special broadcasts only a week or so early. The only time we see such early announcements is during major updates to the game. With Genshin Impact, Luna IV coinciding with the Lantern Rite festival, Hoyoverse has likely big plans for the update.
Alongside that, we might see a new trailer for Genshin Impact in TGA soon, which may reveal some interesting characters. One of them can be Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya, who was name-dropped by Hoyoverse today and is expected to be the Cryo Archon.
