Genshin Impact releases version updates every six weeks, which is also known as a major update. With each major update, miHoYo has introduced a couple of new promotional characters of 4-stars or 5-stars rarity.

Currently, version 1.4 of Genshin Impact is playable, and it features the 5-star character Venti as the promotional character. The new 4-star character Rosaria is expected to be released via the "Farewell of Snezhnaya" banner on April 6th at 06:00 PM (server time) and last till April 27th, 03:59 PM (server time).

Genshin Impact 1.4 update was released on March 17th this year. Considering that a major update arrives six weeks after the previous update, the approximate release date of version 1.5 can be easily speculated.

If the speculation is true, the Genshin Impact 1.5 update will arrive on April 28th after Rosaria and Tartaglia's banner expires.
