Genshin Impact News: Version 7.1 and Moonchase
Genshin Impact’s Version 7.1 “A Requiem for the Underworld” preview and the Moonchase event are the key September–October player updates. This is an action RPG with timed in-game events rather than an official esports tournament circuit.
Moonchase event offers the Silver Light sword
HoYoverse’s 22 September event overview says “Silverwing in Pursuit of the Moon” begins 24 September at 10:00 server time. Completing event quests can award the event-exclusive Silver Light sword, Primogems, Crown of Insight and other materials.
HoYoverse’s news page also lists the Version 7.1 “A Requiem for the Underworld” Phase I events preview, character trailers for Vesna and Vodyanitsa, and a Miliastra Wonderland creator contest published on 23 September. Check the in-game Events menu for each server’s remaining claim window and banner schedule.
Primogems, event weapon and banner timing
- Prioritize event tasks that award Silver Light and its refinement materials before the event timer closes. Event weapon acquisition is time-limited; the official overview lists the reward but the in-game event page shows your remaining progress.
- Character banners and event end times can vary by server time zone. Use the in-game Wish and Events screens for the exact local countdown rather than converting a social post manually.
Competitive status
- No official publisher-run Genshin Impact esports tournament schedule was found in HoYoverse’s official news pages checked.
- HoYoverse creator contests and community events are not represented as pro esports tournaments.
