Genshin Impact Version 7.1 drops September 23 with a major story showdown in Snezhnaya.

InvenGlobal confirms the update, called "Requiem of Death," escalates the crisis in Snezhnaya after Version 7.0 introduced the frozen nation.

Dainsleif Confronts Ronova in Snezhnaya's Endgame
The Version 7.1 Archon Quest centers on a direct battle between Dainsleif and Ronova, the mysterious figure behind Khaenri'ah's doom. TheOuterHaven reports Ronova becomes a new Weekly Boss encounter. The confrontation ties into the larger power struggle involving the Tsaritsa, who seeks to overthrow Celestia's control over Teyvat. GameMeca states the update escalates the crisis and sets up a showdown with what it calls the ruler of death.
Vesna and Vodyanitsa Lead the Character Roster
Two new 5-star characters headline Version 7.1. Enduins confirms Vesna as an Anemo character and Vodyanitsa as a Hydro character, offering fresh team-building options for players. Rumored reruns for Skirk and Escoffier are also expected. FinalWeapon notes the update brings the return of the Moonchase Festival in Liyue, adding seasonal activities to the patch lineup.
Livestream Codes Expire Soon—Claim Them Now
HoYoverse released limited-time redemption codes during the Version 7.1 livestream. InvenGlobal reports the codes expire Monday, September 14, at 11:59 PM UTC+8—giving players only a narrow window to claim Primogems and Mora. Players must reach Adventure Rank 10 to redeem. Codes work through the in-game redemption menu or HoYoverse's website, with rewards collected from the in-game mailbox.
Rhinedottir's Return and the Celestia Conflict
Version 7.1 teases Rhinedottir, the alchemist who created Khaenri'ah, manipulating the body of Naberius—expanding the lore around the original sin that cursed the kingdom. This subplot deepens the conflict between the Tsaritsa's rebellion, Celestia's dominion, and ancient powers seeking to reshape Teyvat's fate. The update builds directly on Version 7.0's introduction of Snezhnaya, new Stellar-reaction mechanics, and the groundwork laid in previous patches.
