Genshin Impact Sets Luna V for Feb. 25, Returning to Mondstadt and Making Varka Playable

The nostalgia‑focused patch spotlights a Mondstadt homecoming featuring memory challenges, mini‑games, banner reruns, plus free cosmetics and weapon skins.

Overview

  • Varka debuts as a 5‑star Anemo claymore user with a dual‑wield kit that applies Anemo on his left‑hand blade while converting his right‑hand damage to a teammate’s element via his Skill.
  • His Story Quest tackles a new Wild Hunt crisis tied to the Great Wolf King of the North, with a free dual‑weapon appearance unlocked after defeating a Wolf Spirit fragment.
  • The flagship Echoes of Memory event uses the Spotter Kamera to record changes in familiar scenes, complemented by gliding trials, a combat challenge with summonable Knight Shadows, and multiple mini‑games.
  • Event rewards include the Phantasmal Gift: Star Omen catalyst appearance and a free Owl Envoy Manekin/Manekina cosmetic set, alongside Miliastra Wonderland’s new voice feature and modes.
  • Event Wishes roll out in phases: Varka and Flins first, then Skirk and Escoffier, with the Chronicled Wish for Mondstadt characters returning; the update lands on PS5/PS4, Xbox Series, PC, iOS, and Android.
