Genshin Impact is deep into the Luna II and Luna III cycle, and the calendar is crowded. November 2025 funnels players toward one of the most generous progression events the game has ever run, then rolls straight into a winter slate of rhythm games, pinball stages, and Natlan snowfields.
Current Genshin Impact events (late November 2025)
Right now the game is bridging Version 6.1 Luna II and the coming Luna III patch, with a mix of grind-focused bonuses and lighter, web-based activities.
| Event | Type | Dates (2025) | Key rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| To Temper Thyself and Journey Far | In‑game progression | September 10 – December 1 | Stella Fortune (free 5‑star constellation), assorted materials |
| Artful Odyssey | Web event | October 22 – December 3 | Primogems, gift vouchers, web‑event cosmetics |
| Dance Dance Dynamic Disco / Dynamic Disco | In‑game co‑op rhythm | Mid‑November – late November (e.g. November 17 – 26) | Primogems, mora, upgrade materials |
| Overflowing Abundance | Domain bonus | November 24 – December 1 | Double Talent books and Weapon ascension materials |
Each of these asks for a slightly different level of commitment.
To Temper Thyself and Journey Far: the big progression event
To Temper Thyself and Journey Far is the anchor event for this stretch. It runs for nearly three months and functions more like a seasonal track than a one‑off quest chain.
Players complete daily and weekly training goals to accumulate event points. Hitting specific thresholds unlocks rewards, culminating in a Stella Fortune that unlocks a constellation for a 5‑star character you already own. Twenty 5‑star characters are in the selection pool, and you pick the one you want to advance.
Because Stella Fortune items are normally very difficult to obtain, this is effectively a free, targeted power spike for a core carry or support. For many accounts, this single reward eclipses the value of any other limited‑time event running in the same window.
Artful Odyssey: HoYoLAB‑linked web event
Artful Odyssey sits outside the client as a browser‑based event tied to your HoYoLAB account. After logging in with a Genshin Impact‑linked HoYoLAB profile, you work through “Artful Missions” and simple interaction tasks, such as inviting friends to check in.
Clearing missions feeds into mini‑activities themed around Miliastra Wonderland, with Primogems, gift vouchers, and other small bonuses on the line. Artful Odyssey requires little combat and almost no build investment; the only real requirement is staying on top of daily tasks until it closes on December 3.
Dance Dance Dynamic Disco: co‑op rhythm trials
Dance Dance Dynamic Disco is the current party piece inside Version 6.1. It is a rhythm event built around a lead dancer whose movements you mirror using directional inputs. In co‑op, several players follow the same routine, turning it into a timing and coordination check.
Scoring is straightforward: the more precisely you match the choreography, the higher your score and the more rewards you unlock. It’s designed as a short‑session mode; you can clear the event shop without grinding the same track for hours, and difficulty is low enough that most Adventure Rank‑eligible teams can participate.
Overflowing Abundance: double‑drop farming window
Overflowing Abundance exists to compress weeks of Talent and Weapon grinding into a handful of days. While it is active, Talent Level‑Up and Weapon Ascension Domains pay out double rewards for a limited number of runs.
Because this interacts directly with Original Resin, the optimal use is obvious: ignore most other resin sinks and run the boosted Domains until you hit the daily cap on double payouts. For anyone trying to bring Luna II or Luna III characters online quickly, this is the most efficient resin window on the calendar.
Luna III and winter 2025–26 upcoming events
The hand‑off to Version 6.2 Luna III marks a shift toward holiday‑themed mini‑games and longer flagship events set in Natlan.
| Status | Event | Dates | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Next | Bing‑Bang Finchball | December 5 – 15, 2025 | Pinball‑style stages for points and rewards |
| Upcoming | Soulblazers’ Snowbound Journey | December 19, 2025 – early January 2026 | Natlan winter flagship with multiple mini‑games |
| Upcoming | Heroic Clash: Saurian Brawl | December 29, 2025 – January 7, 2026 | Co‑op Saurian possession combat for Trial Coins |
| Upcoming | Marvelous Merchandise | January 5 – 12, 2026 | Item‑for‑loot trades with Liben |
Bing‑Bang Finchball: Luna III’s arcade opener
Bing‑Bang Finchball is the first marquee event scheduled after Luna III lands, running from December 5 to December 15. The format is essentially pinball reinterpreted through Teyvat’s lens: you control left and right paddles to keep a finch‑themed ball in play while it collides with targets around the arena.
Each stage has objectives tied to score, target types, or clear conditions. Meeting them yields Primogems and upgrade materials. Because everything plays out in a compact arena, it’s a low‑overhead way to pick up rewards between longer quests or Domain sessions.
Soulblazers’ Snowbound Journey: Natlan in the snow
Soulblazers’ Snowbound Journey is the main winter flagship event. It returns players to Natlan, but trades volcanic backdrops for snowfields and festival décor. The event stretches from late December into January and breaks down into several mini‑games.
Activities include:
- Snowball fights with rulesets tailored to quick, arcade‑style rounds.
- Hide‑and‑seek scenarios built around Natlan’s terrain and verticality.
- Timed obstacle runs through bespoke winter courses.
Running the full event track awards a new 4‑star bow, Rainbow Serpent’s Rain Bow, along with refinement materials. That makes Snowbound Journey one of the few seasonal events that hands out a complete weapon package rather than a one‑off cosmetic.
Heroic Clash: Saurian Brawl: co‑op monster piloting
Heroic Clash: Saurian Brawl sits at the combat‑heavy end of the Luna III lineup. Instead of controlling regular teams, players “indwell” Saurians — inhabiting these creatures directly — and fight in co‑op arenas to earn Trial Coins.
Matches are time‑limited, and your coin haul depends on how efficiently your squad clears waves and objectives. Trial Coins then feed into an event shop stocked with Primogems, level‑up materials, and other account staples. The format encourages at least a small amount of coordination, but the Saurian kits are tuned so that even solo queue groups can finish the event in its December 29 to January 7 window.
Marvelous Merchandise: Liben’s low‑effort rerun
Marvelous Merchandise closes out this run of events in early January 2026. Long‑time players will recognise it immediately: Liben returns to Teyvat’s cities with a set of daily boxes to fill.
Each day, Liben asks for a handful of common items — ores, local specialties, or basic resources. In exchange, you pick up a Bundle containing Primogems, mora, and character or weapon experience materials. The event requires minimal time: once you’ve pre‑stocked the requested items, the daily turn‑in takes seconds.
How these events interact with banners and permanent content
The late‑November event slate overlaps with a dense banner schedule. Arlecchino and Zhongli currently headline Phase 2 of Version 6.1, followed by Durin and Venti in early December and then Varesa and Xilonen as Luna III rolls on.
Events support that cycle in three clear ways:
- To Temper Thyself and Journey Far offers a direct constellation upgrade for a 5‑star, which can be aimed at a current or recent banner pull.
- Overflowing Abundance accelerates the Talent and Weapon grind needed to bring new characters up to endgame standards.
- Soulblazers’ Snowbound Journey’s free 4‑star bow gives bow‑reliant teams a no‑gacha option tied to seasonal play rather than weapon banners.
Alongside the limited‑time events, Genshin Impact’s permanent content continues to run in the background. Travelers’ Tales and Repertoire of Myriad Melodies remain available for character interactions and rhythm practice, while HoYoLAB’s daily check‑in quietly adds extra resources for anyone willing to click through each day.
Taken together, the Luna II and Luna III schedules mean there is effectively no downtime: a long‑tail progression event, a double‑drop farming week, a web mini‑campaign, and a sequence of arcade‑style modes run straight into each other through early 2026. For anyone trying to stretch Primogems and materials around a busy banner slate, logging in daily during this window is about as efficient as Genshin Impact gets.
