The popular free-to-play RPG Genshin Impact constantly adds new and rerun character event banners for players to wish on. With the Genshin Impact Version 4.2 update now live, let's take a look at the Genshin Impact upcoming banners schedule and which 5-star characters are coming next.
Genshin Impact Upcoming Banners
1. Cyno and Ayato Reruns For Version 4.2 Phase 2
Based on leaks and beta testing phases, Phase 2 of Genshin Impact's 4.2 update will feature simultaneous rerun banners for both Cyno and Kamisato Ayato.
Cyno's banner provides another chance to acquire the 5-star Electro polearm user known as the Judicator of Secrets. Ayato is a powerful Hydro sword-wielder whose banner rerun gives players an opportunity to add the Kamisato Clan's head to their roster.
Cyno and Ayato's rerun banners will likely begin on November 28th, 2023, lasting around 3 weeks. Their signature 5-star weapons, Staff of the Scarlet Sands (polearm) and Haran Geppaku Futsu (sword), will also receive drop boosts on the concurrent Epitome Invocation weapon banner.
2. 4-Star Characters Still Unconfirmed
While we know Cyno and Ayato are the upcoming 5-star headliners, the 4-star characters on their Version 4.2 Phase 2 banners haven't been officially confirmed yet. Reliable leakers suggest fan-favorite pyro polearm user Xiangling could be featured.
Other possible 4-stars based on past banner patterns are electro healer Kujou Sara, cryo support Rosaria, anemo sub-DPS Sayu, and geo defender Noelle. We'll update you with the official 4-star lineups once miHoYo reveals them as the current Furina and Baizhu banners end.

Genshin Impact Upcoming Banners: Fontaine Character Navia Potentially Coming in Version 4.3
Looking ahead, early speculation based on leaked design sketches points to the new Fontaine 5-star character Navia arriving in Version 4.3. This would fit the pattern of introducing each region's new Dendro and Hydro characters first.
While not officially confirmed yet, Navia appears to be a Geo Character. More reliable banner leaks will likely emerge once 4.2 finishes up. Until then, players have an Electro and Hydro DPS dream team to look forward to summoning soon!

Genshin Impact Banner Schedule
The Genshin Impact banner schedule rotates new and rerun character event banners approximately every 21 days. This gives players 3 weeks to summon each banner's featured 5-star before the next one is added.
Banners always begin and end on a Tuesday weekly reset. The two concurrent banners in each update phase share pity and fate points, allowing players to target the 5-star they want most.
