The Genshin Impact 4.0 livestream date and time has been announced and will provide information on the upcoming Banner schedule and events, amongst a deep dive on the new Fontaine region.

There should be a big focus on the environment and culture of Fontaine in this extended livestream, but don't worry, as we'll also get all the usual details on new character Banners and events as usual.

Update: Now that the stream is over, check out our Genshin Impact codes page to redeem them before they expire! For everything else, you can visit our 4.0 Banners and events schedule.

We'll cover the exact 4.0 livestream date and time in Genshin Impact below, and also provide all the information we know about 4.0 Banner leaks for the upcoming Banners.

Genshin Impact 4.0 Banner leaks

We'll have to wait for the 4.0 livestream for official details on who the character event Banners will be, but there has been some leaks and official information that has provided details on the likely upcoming 4.0 Banners for Phase 1 and Phase 2.

It's very likely based on the drip marketing that twins Lyney and Lynette, and their younger brother Freminet, will be featured on 4.0 Banners in Genshin Impact.

We know from this marketing that Lyney is Pyro, Lynette is Anemo, and Freminet is Cryo. However, we don't officially know what weapon they use, or whether they're 4-Stars or 5-Stars. Based off multiple Mero leaks though, it looks like Lyney is a 5-Star archer, Lynette is a 4-Star sword user, and Freminet is a 4-Star Claymore user.

Mero is a very reliable leaker, but it's important to remember this isn't official information yet.

There have been no reliable leaks or solid details providing on who the rerun Banners will be.

In summary, if the leaks turn out to be accurate, some of the 4.0 Banners in Genshin Impact are:

  • Lyney debut (Pyro archer)
  • Lynette debut (Anemo sword-user)
  • Freminet debut (Cryo Claymore-user)

As a reminder, none of this information is official, so we'll have to wait until the 4.0 livestream for solid details on who and what will be on the next Banners in Genshin Impact.
