Genshin Impact 6.0 Anniversary Leaks

Genshin Impact is getting close to its fifth-year anniversary in September, and players are already excited about what HoYoverse is going to offer this time. Some new leaks have also started coming out, pointing toward a few major rewards that might be planned for the 6.0 update. Based on past anniversaries, players are already expecting something big, and these leaks are adding more fuel to the hype.

Wind Glider Seems to Be One of the Freebies This Time

Leaks from names like Firefly News and Seele Leaks are now talking about a brand new Wind Glider that could be given free to all players. Nothing is known yet about how this glider looks or what colors it has, but it’s said to come during the anniversary celebration period. The last time a Wind Glider was given away was back in 2021 for the first anniversary, where everyone received Wings of Shimmering Galaxy without cost. So maybe HoYoverse is bringing this type of reward back now after a few years.

Free 5-Star Character Selector

One more big thing that seems confirmed is the return of a 5-star character selector from the Standard banner. This was talked about officially during the 5.0 livestream, and from what it looks like, it will now be part of every future anniversary. That means in 6.0, all players will be able to pick one 5-star character from the available options.

These are the characters you can choose from:

Diluc
Jean
Keqing
Qiqi
Tighnari
Dehya
Yumemizuki Mizuki

Mizuki is a newer addition to the Standard banner, so this will be the first time she appears in the selector list. Many players have been wanting specific characters for a long time, so this feature is likely to be well-received again.

Anniversary Login Events

In previous anniversaries, there’s always been special login campaigns that run for several days, and something similar is probably going to happen in 6.0, too. Usually, those login rewards include:

Primogems
Intertwined Fates
Sanctifying Elixirs
Anniversary gadgets or one-time event items

Exact items for the 6.0 login event haven’t been leaked yet, but following the pattern from previous years, something close can be expected.

Genshin Impact is turning five years old in September 2025, and it’s a big milestone for both the game and its fanbase. Leaks about version 6.0 show that HoYoverse has plans for another big anniversary celebration, maybe the biggest one so far. Between the potential free Wind Glider, the 5-star character pick, and the likely login event, there’s plenty that could be coming for players in this update.
