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 days 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.
A recent Genshin Impact leak has revealed that Genshin Impact update 2.7 could get delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation in China. Developer miHoYo will apparently introduce a third banner to Genshin Impact update 2.6.
Yelan won't be the only new character as multiple leaks confirm the arrival of another four-star unit named Kuki Shinobu, also known as Kuki Ninja. She is Itto's sidekick and responsible for keeping the Arataki gang in check.
A recent leak on the popular Genshin_Impact_Leaks subreddit has revealed the Elemental Skill and Burst for Kuki Shinobu:
- Elemental Skill - Kuki creates a shadow clone attached to herself and nearby enemies, recovering the health of the current character on the field. This skill has a 30-second cooldown
- Elemental Burst - Kuki summons three shuriken which will apply damage each time a party character does damage. The skill has a 20-second cooldown
Multiple leaks claim that Yelan will arrive on the first banner cycle while Kuki is scheduled for the second part of the update.
