Columbina becomes playable once Genshin Impact Luna IV goes live. This update is scheduled for Jan. 14, 2026.

Other new characters in Genshin Impact Luna IV

This patch also adds Zibai, a 5-star Geo Sword character from Liyue. While her humanoid form may appear novel to many, there is a big chance you've already encountered her (or know of her, at least) if you've played the Liyue parts of the game.

Despite being for Liyue, Zibai enables Lunar-Crystallize. She is the first Geo character in over a year, since she comes after Xilonen, who was released in version 5.1 last October 2024.
