Genshin Impact 7.0 leaks: Snezhnaya, banners and Abyss changes

Leaked reports from multiple sources indicate Genshin Impact Version 7.0 will add the Snezhnaya region and introduce banners for Odette, with potential reruns for Arlecchino, Flins and Ineffa. The leaks also outline changes to endgame content and give a tentative August–September 2026 window for the update.

The Spiral Abyss is reported to reset on August 16, 2026. Leaks list Floor 12 adjustments that include a first-half buff increasing Superconduct damage by 200% and Stellar-Conduct damage by 75%, and a second-half buff raising Normal attack Pyro damage by 75%. Enemy compositions for Floor 12 are detailed: chamber 12-1 pairs Ruin Cruiser, Ruin Defender and Ruin Destroyer at level 95 in one half with Assault Specialist Clockwork Meka and Suppression Specialist Clockwork Meka at level 95 in the other; chamber 12-2 lists new enemies at level 98 alongside a Cryo Abyss Mage and a Fatui Skirmisher – Electrohammer Vanguard at level 98; chamber 12-3 lists new enemies at level 100 plus Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King and Secret Source Automaton at level 100.

The Imaginarium Theatre is reported to reset on September 1, 2026, with allowed elements listed as Dendro, Hydro and Electro. Opening characters named in the leaks include Columbina, Xinque, Cyno, Kuki Shinobu, Lauma and Kaveh, with special guests Nicole, Sandrone, Sucrose and Odette. Boss encounters tied to theatre acts are given as a level 90 Jadeploom Terrorshroom in Act 3, a level 92 Emperor of Fire and Iron in Act 6, a level 95 Battle-hardened pipilpan idol in Act 8 and a level 100 Radiant Moonfly in Act 10.

Stygian Onslaught is expected to begin roughly seven days after the update, placing its likely start around August 19, 2026. Leaked boss details include the Chimera Wing Gryphon, described as alternating between “Electro-Calling” and “Anemo-Driving” states and vulnerable to Stellar Reactions. A Wind Operative Boss from Fontaine is described as an Anemo variant that is weak against characters with Bond of Life effects. Knuckle Duckle from Nod Krai is reported to be susceptible to Lunar Charge and Electro damage.

On banners, leaks present Odette as the confirmed first-phase character for Version 7.0. Arlecchino is listed as a likely rerun, with the Spiral Abyss and Stygian Onslaught conditions in the leaks noted as favorable to her kit. Flins is widely reported as a rerun candidate, with the Imaginarium Theatre’s allowed elements and the Stygian Onslaught lineup cited as supporting reasons. Ineffa is mentioned as a probable rerun, with leakers pointing to her synergy with Flins.

All details come from unofficial leak reports and community analysis and may change before release. The developer has not confirmed these specifics. Version 7.0 is presented in the leaks as adding a new region, new banners and several endgame adjustments planned for August–September 2026.
