Version 5.4 release date
The Genshin Impact 5.4 update was released on February 12, 2025.
It’s expected to run until late March so Travelers will have over a month to experience the exclusive events and minigames.
Banners
Phase 1 of the Genshin Impact 5.4 banner will include the new 5-star Anemo character, Yumemizuki Mizuki, as well as the Hydro unit Sigewinne who originally appeared in the 4.7 update. They will run alongside the following 4-stars:
After the 5.5 update, Yumemizuki Mizuki will be available in the standard wish banner. So, if you don’t manage to pull her now and want to get more dupes, you’ll still have a chance to snag this powerful character.
Finally, the Phase 2 banners will see Furina and Wriothesley make their long-awaited return. They’ll be joined by the 4-stars Mika (Cyro), and Chongyun (Cyro).
Events
There are two major events in Genshin Impact’s 5.4 update, the Mikawa Flower Festival and Travelers’ Tales: Anthology Chapter. We’ve outlined each event and all the minigames you can play below.
HoYoverseEnchanted Tales of the Mikawa Flower Festival
Players are tasked with helping Yae Miko to help prepare for the upcoming Mikawa Flower Festival, an event where humans and yokai can relax together. During the festivities, Travelers will need to complete three minigames to obtain the following items:
- Tamayuratei Ohanashi (4-star Polearm)
- Smoldering Phosphorescent Flame (Weapon Refinement material)
- Primogems
- Level-up materials
The minigames are as follows:
A Little Fox’s Daydream
Travelers must guide a little fox through 2D platforming levels, collecting Fried Tofu and reaching each level’s final destination.
Bunshin Phantasm
In this unique experience, Muji-Muji Daruma will mimic the player’s actions from the previous round. Players need to use the Daruma’s imitated actions to unlock the bridge to the goal within three rounds.
Akitsu Yuugei
In this game, players must dodge a barrage of bullets while returning their harpastum to keep their vitality above zero.
Travelers’ Tales: Anthology Chapter
HoYoverseThis event lets Travelers enjoy some slice-of-life stories, featuring their favorite characters as they go about their daily lives. Minigames include the following:
Reel Ad-Venture
Travelers will need to help Xavier edit a commercial for his sponsor. You’ll be able to change the order of each clip in any way you want, but the cast, crew, and sponsors will weigh in on your work.
Invasive Fish Wrangler
As the name suggests, Invasive Fish Wrangler is a fishing minigame where you can either play co-op with your friends or battle it out against opponents for the best score.
Tempered Valor
In Tempered Valor, Travelers must work their way through combat stages. As you head through the 25 floors, the enemies will increase in difficulty. You’ll need to clear each challenge within 30 seconds to move to the next floor. This event can be played either solo or with your friends in co-op.
Quality of life improvements
To make adventuring and combat easier, this update has also introduced several system optimizations which we’ve listed below:
- Players can now set Level-Up Plans for their characters in the Training Guide
- Once these goals are set, the required materials and their sources will be clearly displayed.
- The filter system changes
- Characters and Weapons have been streamlined reducing the steps needed to navigate the interfaces.
- Auto Add button
- Auto Add Button has been added to the Weapon Refinement interface to speed up the process.
