Okay, so I saw a bunch of people online asking about the “Jinshi Banner” release date in Genshin Impact. I got curious, too, so I decided to do some digging and figure this thing out myself. Here’s how it went down:
My Little Investigation
First, I jumped straight into the game. I mean, that’s the obvious first step, right? I checked the in-game announcements, the event notices, everything. Nothing. Zilch. Nada about a “Jinshi Banner.”

Then, I headed over to the official Genshin Impact website. I scrolled through news, updates, and upcoming event pages. Still nothing specifically mentioning “Jinshi.” I was starting to think this was some kind of inside joke I wasn’t in on.
Next up, I hit the forums and social media. You know, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook groups – all the usual suspects. I saw a lot of speculation, some fan theories, and even some supposed “leaks,” but nothing concrete. It was all just a big guessing game.
I even tried searching for specific character names that might be associated with “Jinshi,” thinking maybe it was a codename for a new character or something. No luck. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack, except the needle might not even exist!
what I finally found
- I realized after so many searches that I must figure out the game of this banner first.
Then, I searched the key word “Jinshi Banner game name”, and found this banner may be relevant to the game of “Honkai: Star Rail”.
- I found the banners in “Honkai: Star Rail” are called “Warp”.
- I tried to search more details abour “Jinshi” and found that this character may relevant to “Jingliu”.
So I dove back into those sources, this time with the keywords of “Honkai: Star Rail”, “Jingliu” and “Warp”, and finally get some useful infos.
It seems most players were referring to Jingliu’s first banner, I found the release date:

- The Version 1.4 Phase 1, released on Oct 11th,2023.
Man, it turns that I play this game before, but just forget it, so this is really a simple question… what a researching journey!
