Another Genshin Impact playable Adeptus named Zibai is on the way, but while this character is connected to Liyue and Rex Lapis, she is also tied to Istaroth and the Moon. She’s going to debut in Luna IV when that patch arrives in 2026, though we don’t have an exact launch date for her yet.

A handful of details are available about Zibai, with the first announcement tweet on the Genshin Impact social media account bringing up a quote from Istaroth. In it, it suggests that this new character consciously made a choice to leave the moon and head to Liyue to aid Rex Lapis. “Istaroth” said, “The wind carves benevolent favors into stories, sweeping them into the far corners of the world; it whispers tales into legends softened by the mists of memory, destined to be forgotten. Why, then, did you make such a choice?” That post also mentioned she’s a Geo type character with a Moon Wheel, rather than a Vision. Her other details reference horses, as her title is White Horse’s Fleeting Spring and Constellation is Equa Alba.

Meanwhile, the other post shared a story about Zibai’s background, her role in the Archon War, and her nature as an Adeptus. That also included a closer look at her official art.

Istaroth is still something of a mystery in Genshin Impact, as the in-game storyline and lore hasn’t caught up to share everything about the Four Shades of the Heavenly Principles’ Ruler of Time. We do know that her and Venti share the same voice actor.

This means two new characters are confirmed for Luna IV. The other is Columbina, who used to be the Fatui Harbinger called The Damselette. She’s been a major player in the story up to this point.

Genshin Impact is available for the PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices, and Zibai will be the next playable Adeptus in the game once Luna IV appears.
