Developer HoYoverse shared a couple of animated story teasers from Genshin Impact Lantern Rite 2026, dedicated to Zibai. The first, Nightmare of Yore, that you can find above, is dedicated to the distant path and the now destroyed nation of Lang-Gan. The second, The Moon Amidst Wandering Clouds, takes place during the latest Lantern Rite, and shows that some things survive even time.

“The bygone days have faded while I linger, alone and in vain. The memories engraved in my dreaming soul still wander the realm between heaven and earth.”
Some say she became a steed as white as snow and, in the days of the Archon War, aided Rex Lapis in attaining supremacy over the mortal realm. Others whisper that her eyes, like amber touched with gold, hold the power to gaze through the desolate wastelands of time itself. Still others claim she has always lived on the moon, listening to the wishes of mortals, and keeping watch over the world of flickering lights below.
In offense, Zibai is like a galloping steed. By channeling her Adeptal powers, she unleashes multiple Lunar-Crystallize bursts through consecutive Normal Attacks and her special Elemental Skill. By entering a special state and building up unique energy, Zibai can unleash a powerful Elemental Skill that deals Lunar-Crystallize DMG. As more Lunar-Crystallize reactions are triggered, both the frequency and damage of this skill increase, allowing Zibai to dominate the battlefield with relentless assaults.
“As the year wanes and dusk falls upon distant mountains, the sky’s myriad hues entrust themselves to the eastern wind. The white steed gallops through the verdant spring grass, praying that the bright moon shines upon all living beings.”
