Genshin Impact Luna IV drip marketing: Columbina, expected release date & more

The moon goddess!

HoYoverse has once again ignited the hype with the Genshin Impact Luna IV drip marketing, where they revealed Columbina Hyposelenia will be the new upcoming playable character.

The enigmatic Fatui Harbinger, first teased in “A Winter Night’s Lazzo” and appearing in the Song of the Welkin Moon Archon Quest, has been confirmed as a playable Hydro character.

After waiting for years, the moon goddess is now finally arriving in the game. Let’s check out more details in this article.

Columbina’s official profile

• Name: Columbina Hyposelenia
• Title: Welkin Moon’s Homecoming / The Moon Maiden
• Element: Hydro
• Constellation: ???

She is closely tied to Welkin Moon, which confirms her celestial origins. You can easily expect her to be a 5-star rarity character.

Lore tease: A mysterious homecoming

The official post has pointed out her backstory. Born with extraordinary powers, but was rejected by her mother planet. She navigated a spiraling tower maze barefoot, humming forgotten melodies.

With the help of her friends, she claimed her name and years to return home. A quote from Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya also hints some deeper ties:

“Winter nights know no mercy. She left her curtained nest in frost and snow; no one is obliged to restore that which she has lost.” Fans speculate this is the Tsaritsa’s true name, fueling Snezhnaya lore hype!

Expected release date in Lune IV

According to the ongoing cycle, fans can expect the Genshin Impact Luna IV update to drop around January 14, 2026.

As she is the first drip-marketed character, you can expect her in Phase 1 (Jan 14) or Phase 2 (Feb 3). Make sure to tune in to the Special Program livestream on January 2, 2026, for her full kit reveal, weapons and more.
