It can be tricky to keep up with the Genshin Impact banners. The regular updates are great, but it also means Genshin Impact characters—and weapons—rotate in and out of the game regularly. It's easy to miss a hero you've got your eye on, either to bad luck or just by simply not realising their banner is active. Most characters will return at some point for a banner re-run, so all is not lost if you miss out the first time.
Banners—or event wishes—are at the heart of Genshin's gacha system. Primogems are used to wish on a banner, giving you a chance to roll a character or weapon from a pool of rewards. There's a pity mechanic, too, meaning you're guaranteed to get a five-star hero on your 90th character wish and a five-star weapon on the 80th pull from the weapon banner, Epitome Invocation.
So with all that in mind, here are the next Genshin Impact banners, as well as the current event wishes.
