Genshin Impact players have two major announcements to look forward to: the upcoming Version 5.6 “Paralogism” update and the game’s first international beauty brand partnership with Charlotte Tilbury.
Version 5.6 Returns to Mondstadt with New Characters
The Version 5.6 update, revealed during a Special Program livestream on April 25, will launch on May 7, 2025. Escoffier’s abilities focus on Cryo damage, healing, and reducing enemy resistance, while Ifa provides healing, crowd control, and buffs for specific elemental reactions.
The update introduces a new weekly boss challenge on a mystical chessboard where players face the King and Queen. A Fontaine management event called Chevalmarin Film Fantasyland will also open, challenging players to manage an amusement park by upgrading attractions and recruiting employees.
Version 5.6’s first phase will feature banners for Escoffier, Navia, and Ifa, while the second phase includes reruns for Kinich and the Raiden Shogun. A special Chronicled Wish banner featuring Inazuma 5-star characters will also be available.
Three limited-time redemption codes were released during the livestream:
- GI56Paralogism (100 Primogems, 10 Mystic Enhancement Ore)
- ChefEscoffier0507 (100 Primogems, 5 Hero’s Wit)
- IfaCacucu0507 (100 Primogems, 50,000 Mora)

The “Starfell Treasure Box” (priced at £55) includes travel-sized skincare and makeup products along with co-branded merchandise. The more premium “Starry Miracle Box” (£155) contains full-sized products including Charlotte’s Magic Cream moisturizer and exclusive Genshin Impact items.

“Together, we have united our worlds to create a collection that celebrates exploration, magic, and empowerment,” said Charlotte Tilbury MBE. “Gaming, like makeup, is a form of artistic expression, where creativity, community, fun and freedom come together!”
The beauty boxes became available on April 30, 2025, exclusively through charlottetilbury.com and the Charlotte Tilbury Easy Beauty for You app in over 35 countries and regions.
This partnership marks Genshin Impact’s expansion beyond gaming into lifestyle products and represents Charlotte Tilbury’s first venture into gaming partnerships, reflecting the growing overlap between gaming and beauty industries.
