Genshin Impact upcoming 6.0 characters signal shift in game mechanics with Lunar reactions
According to beta leaks via Honey Hunter World, Flins is a 5‑star Electro polearm user whose kit enables Electro Normal and Charged Attacks that trigger Lunar‑Charged reactions when paired with Hydro allies.
A new passive talent called Moonsign adjusts effects based on team composition, with Ascendant Gleam enhancing Lunar‑Charged damage.
Lauma is introduced as a 5‑star Dendro catalyst user whose power primarily scales with Elemental Mastery.
Her kit centres around Lunar‑Bloom, a reaction variant likely exclusive to Nod‑Krai characters that can land CRIT hits. Her passive talent applies different buff stacks depending on the current Moonsign, increasing party-wide DPS.
Both characters expand on the Lunar‑Charged mechanic first introduced with Epic Moon android Ineffa in Version 5.8, solidifying Lunar reaction variants as a Nod‑Krai signature.
Another beta leak suggests Hydro character Aino will help increase the Moonsign level, making her a strong free‑to‑play pairing for Flins.
This shift introduces the concept of regional synergy, similar to the Nightsoul mechanics used by Natlan characters, but specific to Nod‑Krai team compositions.
Players are watching closely, as existing characters may become outclassed if Lunar variants prove stronger.
Version 6.0 will also bring the new Nod‑Krai region of Nod‑Krai and expand the storyline.
As more information emerges from the beta, players await confirmation of these shifts ahead of the update's expected release later in 2025.

Genshin Impact will end support for PlayStation 4 in April 2026, HoYoverse confirms
HoYoverse has confirmed that support for Genshin Impact on PlayStation 4 will end on April 8 2026. The closure is due to growing hardware constraints and increasing application size on the ageing platform. The process will unfold in three stages. Firstly, the game will be removed from the PlayStation Store on September 10 2025. Next, in-game purchases on PS4 will be disabled from February 25 2026. Finally, login access will be permanently disabled on April 8 2026, marking the end of the PS4 version. In a statement, HoYoverse made it clear that the decision is not tied to any specific game content or software update but is based purely on 'hardware performance and platform application size.' The most recent content update, Version 5.8, launched on July 30 2025 and introduced the Sunspray Summer Resort expansion, along with new characters and seasonal features. To ensure PS4 users retain access to their game data, starting December 17 2025, players will receive prompts in-game to bind their account via email, QR code, or alternative methods using the User Centre. This allows them to continue playing on platforms such as PlayStation 5, PC, iOS, Android, or Xbox Series X|S. Genshin Impact first launched on PS4 in September 2020 and has received full support through major updates. However, with the game's file size and technical requirements increasing each year, continuing support has become unsustainable. PS4 users are encouraged to follow prompts and complete account binding before the sunset timeline begins to safeguard continued access to their save data and in-game progress. Completion of this transition is essential in order to preserve access beyond April 2026.

Genshin Impact upcoming 6.0 characters signal shift in game mechanics with Lunar reactions
Leaked character kits indicate that Version 6.0 of Genshin Impact will usher in a new era of gameplay with the introduction of Flins and Lauma, and a wave of Lunar reaction mechanics tied to the Nod‑Krai region in Snezhnaya. According to beta leaks via Honey Hunter World, Flins is a 5‑star Electro polearm user whose kit enables Electro Normal and Charged Attacks that trigger Lunar‑Charged reactions when paired with Hydro allies.

Genshin Impact player full clears Spiral Abyss challenge on an Apple Watch
A Genshin Impact player has completed Floor 12 of the Spiral Abyss in version 5.8 using an Apple Watch, achieving a full nine-star score, a milestone that challenges even experienced players on high-end devices. The player shared their run on the Chinese video platform Bilibili, demonstrating how they cleared Genshin Impact's endgame content using the small Apple Watch screen. The device used appears to be the Apple Watch Ultra, which does not natively support the game. There is no official cloud version for the Apple Watch, suggesting the player likely used a paired iPhone or PC with remote access to stream the game to the device. This setup allowed control of the game through the watch while the processing was handled externally, turning the watch into a miniature console. Despite the hardware limitations and restricted screen size, the player managed to clear all three chambers of Floor 12 within the time limit. Spiral Abyss 5.8 presents a challenging environment, featuring high-HP world boss enemies such as the Secret Source Automaton: Overseer Device, Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker, and Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King. Clearing this floor with a nine-star score requires precise rotations and timing, which the player achieved despite the unconventional setup. Users on Bilibili praised the accomplishment, with one commenting, 'Someone that's truly strong never complains about their environment,' while another noted, 'He plays better than me playing on my mobile.'
