Genshin Impact's Twitter account has confirmed the four-star characters that will arrive alongside Yelan and Xiao on the upcoming double banner for update 2.7.
The official Genshin Impact 2.6 livestream has already confirmed the arrival of a new character named Kamisato Ayato. He will be joined by two banner re-runs for Kamisato Ayaka and Venti.
While Version 2.6 has arrived a couple of weeks ago, it seems like we already have information about what the next update might bring. Numerous leaks have already revealed a lot of information about a new character named Yelan. She is expected to be a new five-star Hydro bow user.
The official Genshin Impact Twitter account has confirmed the four-star characters that will arrive alongside Xiao and Yelan:
- Barbara (four-star Hydro character)
- Yanfei (four-star Pyro user)
- Noelle (four-star Geo user)
Another reason why players will shy away from the banner is the fact that the new four-star character, Kuki Shinobu, is scheduled to be released on the second banner cycle alongside the five-star character Arataki Itto. They are placed on the same banner probably because both of them belong to the same Arataki gang.
The majority of the community claims that they will most likely skip the banner due to the weak four-star lineup. Even the new five-star character does not seem to be as powerful as some previous additions to the playable roster.
