Genshin Impact Version Luna 5 Brings Varka Home and Returns Players to Mondstadt
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Genshin Impact version Luna 5 (patch 6.4) brings Varka to the playable roster, returns players to Mondstadt, and outlines maintenance schedules and new event rewards.
Genshin Impact is gearing up for its upcoming major update, and HoYoverse is finally answering one of the community's longest standing prayers. Version Luna 5, officially designated as patch 6.4, takes players back to where it all started in Mondstadt while introducing the long awaited Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, Varka, as a playable character. For anyone who has tracked the lore since launch, Varka arriving as an Anemo Claymore user on the limited banner makes this one of the most anticipated updates in recent memory. Alongside the character debut, the patch features a narrative deep dive involving Andrius, the iconic wolf world boss.
As standard for HoYoverse, the update arrives alongside a scheduled five hour server downtime starting on either February 24 or February 25 depending on your local time zone. Players should remember to burn their current resin before the servers go dark, though you will want to hold onto some resources for the weekly bosses and the fresh battle pass cycle that kicks off immediately after maintenance concludes. While minor server fluctuations can happen, the development team is generally reliable when it comes to hitting their deployment windows.
Beyond the headline character banner, the update introduces a new flagship event titled Homeward, He Who Caught the Wind. Participants who dive into the event can earn a sleek new catalyst weapon skin named Phantasmal Gift, Star Omen. Whether you are logging in from mobile, PC, or console, this patch offers a healthy mix of nostalgia and fresh progression to keep your daily grind engaging.
