![[EXCLUSIVE] Katsuhiro Harada Opens Up About VS Studio, SNK, and What Comes Next](https://cdn.gamerbraves.com/2026/05/Harada-VS-Studio_Interview_FI-1-360x180.jpg)
It’s the end of Childe’s November reign, with a new set of updates coming this December to Genshin Impact. To kick off the new Wish banners is the new Wish event, Gentry of Hermitage.
This Wish will feature 5-star Geo Polearm user, Zhongli, who will be exclusive to this banner. Along with his rate up will be the new 4-star Pyro Xinyang, and existing 4-stars, Electro Razor and Cyro Chongyun. Somewhat hilariously enough, all the 4-stars this round are Claymore users, perhaps to make it easier to farm the Geo boss. The 4-stars are not limited.
This Wish banner will run from 1 December 18:00 to 22 December 14:59: server time. All these characters will also have their corresponding Test Trial unlock at the same time. Likewise, a new Epitome Invocation will be open concurrently, offering the event exclusive 5-star weapons Vortex Vanquisher (Polearm) and The Unforged (Claymore).
Zhongli’s story quest, Historia Antiqua, will be permanently available after 04:00, 1 December server time. Players will need to be Adventure Rank 40, and completed Chapter I: Act III – A New Star Approaches.
A new run of the Seize the Day log in event will run from 1 December 04:00 to 16 December 03:59 server time. As usual it will give the following rewards over 7 days:
- Hero’s Wit ×8
- Mystic Enhancement Ore ×16
- Primogems ×300
- Mora ×50,000
Last but not least is a preview of a Food Delivery mini event. Players will have to put on their best ( insert food delivery service of choice ) impression and race against the clock to deliver the goods.
That’s all that’s been revealed for the first half of December for Genshin Impact. Let’s hope for a bigger event like Unreconciled Stars for those sweet primogems.
