Genshin Impact players can earn free Primogems by pre-registering for version 5.7, allowing them to accumulate extra currency in time to get Skirk. As the release of version 5.7 approaches, it is important for players to know that this update will provide a limited number of Primogems. Although a new endgame mode is included in this version, it is estimated that free-to-play users will only receive around 54 Intertwined Fates.
Unfortunately, Genshin Impact’s version 5.7 event banner also includes the introduction of Skirk as well as some major reruns. The first phase features Skirk and Shenhe — and interestingly, Shenhe herself is considered one of Skirk’s best teammates. In the second phase, players can expect the return of Mauveika and Emilie. Pyro Archon Mauveika needs no introduction, but Emilie can also emerge as a great option for Burning teams, giving new strength to DPS options like Cyno and Dehya.
Thus, every Primogem counts in Genshin Impact, especially before the arrival of a popular character like Skirk. Players can get 30 free Primogems by pre-registering for version 5.7 on the official website, which they will receive via in-game mail once the update launches on June 18, 2025. Additionally, if players subscribe to version update notifications, they will also be provided with Skirk’s Ascension content for free — allowing them to power up their new character right from the start.
Genshin Impact Players Can Obtain 30 Primogems by Pre-Registering for Version 5.7
An underrated benefit of pre-registration is that there is an event calendar for version 5.7 available on Genshin Impact’s official website. This calendar details the start date of each event as well as the estimated number of Primogems you will get from it. Version 5.7’s flagship event, called “Battle of the Imagined Eres,” will begin on June 20, 2025. During this event, players will be reunited with the cast of Sumeru and will be able to earn a total of 970 Primogems — which can be quite helpful in getting Skirk or other Limited banner characters.
It is important to mention that players will only be able to earn 34 Intertwined Wishes in the first part of Genshin Impact version 5.7, which may force Skirk fans to make difficult decisions with limited resources. Although the Natlan era has been generous with Primogems so far, this generosity now seems to be slowing down. Apart from Skirk, the update is also expected to introduce a new 4-star Hydro Sword character Dahlia, who recently appeared for the first time during Mondstadt’s new Archon Quest. While not much information is available about the version 5.8 banner at the moment, it is believed that it will include a new “Node-Cry” character capable of boosting Electro-Charged reactions.
