What the Luna VIII update covers
Version 6.7 is the final patch before the Snezhnaya region arrives in August 2026, and the update itself is expected to launch on July 1, 2026. The Fatui Harbinger Marionette, made up of Sandrone and Pulonia, is set to join as the new playable character after her role in the Nod-Krai Archon Quests.
The patch teaser also points to Fontaine connections, showing Furina, Chiori, and Charlotte, with new costumes hinted for Charlotte and Citlali. Columbina features prominently in the official art as well. Until then, the current banners for Lohen and Mavuika remain available until June 30, 2026.
Note: Exact banner phases and update contents are confirmed during the Special Program, so treat anything beyond the broadcast schedule as subject to the official reveal.
