Rumors about the upcoming banner of the next patch of “Genshin Impact” circulated online, giving Liyue fans a glimmer of hope that the two most popular characters in the region may soon have their first Replay banner.
After news about the rebroadcast of Eula and Albedo came out, “Primordial shock“Fans are beginning to speculate that other five-star characters may receive similar treatment in the future-after the possibility of the dual broadcast of Gan Yu and Xiao is leaked, speculation that may occur in the future, Double shock Report.
About a month ago, Reddit user XenoVX claimed that Xiao and Ganyu will appear in different banners under the same patch version in the 2.4 update. At the time, the community mostly believed that this so-called leak was just another hopeful wish, but the same user also claimed that the official Eula and Albedo are now re-running patch 2.3, giving them a certain degree of credibility.
Xiao Zhan and Gan Yu are at the top of the DPS rankings of “Shenzhen Clash”. If constructed properly, both characters can cause a lot of damage, making most open-world combat encounters trivial, and at the same time, if the correct modifiers exist at the time, the abyss can be cleared very quickly.

If this leak proves to be true, once the 2.4 patch goes live on January 5th, fans will still have about a full month to save money for Xiao and Gan Yu.
In addition, XenoVX claims that the previously leaked character Shen He, who is said to be a catalyst user, will also appear in the upcoming 2.4 update. They also said that Yae Miko may appear later in the 2.5 patch.
Since patch 2.4 is within the time frame of the annual Lantern Festival, it definitely makes sense to replay and release a new Liyue character.
Assuming she is a new 5-star character, the banners of Ganyu and Xiao will likely appear in the first half of the new patch, and the banner of Shen He will become the main banner in the second half.
There is still some time before patch 2.4 goes online, and the official announcement about the first character banner in 2022 is expected to be confirmed in the development stream next month.
