Genshin Impact leak reveals the roadmap for characters

Full Stop Chan unveiled the character roadmap for Genshin Impact in 2026, revealing the characters that will be released across the game’s various updates. Here is a detailed breakdown of the characters alongside the updates:

Version Luna V

The Luna V update of Genshin Impact will result in the release of Varka. The character has already been mentioned multiple times throughout the main story and world quests, but he has never been made playable.
Varka is essentially the Knight of Boreas and the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius. His leaked kit unveils that he is going to be a DPS unit, particularly excelling in terms of Normal and Charged Attack DMG.

Version Luna VI

Speaking of the Luna VI version, it will see in the arrival of Linnea. The particular character has not made an in-game appearance yet, but you might have heard voicelines regarding her.
It will be exciting to see her background, abilities, and how she will fit into Genshin Impact's diverse cast.

Version Luna VII

Coming to Genshin Impact Luna VII, it is expected to be released in May. The version will be bringing in Nicole and Lohen, with the later rumored to be a 5-star character.
Nicole was included in the silhouette released during the Luna IV livestream, and she is basically a Hexerzirkel Witch. In the meantime, Lohen is the vice-captain of the Knights of Favonius’s Fifth company.

Version Luna VIII

Lastly, we have Luna VIII, or the Genshin Impact version 6.7. It will introduce Sandrone, and there have already been numerous leaks regarding the character previously.
Sandrone is among the Fatui Harbringers, and her silhouette was also seen in the recent showcase.
Besides these characters, there was another character in the silhouette revealed during the Luna IV livestream. Further details about the same will likely be revealed in the coming months.
