The latest Genshin Impact leak to come about from beta testers involves the long-awaited and delayed patch 2.7 for Genshin Impact. With the beta test, dataminers were able to dig in and find out the release dates for the two newest characters to be announced — Yelan and Kuki Shinobu. We’ve got a round-up for you right here: the Yelan and Shinobu release dates and banner details for patch 2.7 in Genshin Impact.
Note: The information in this article was obtained from datamining sources. These details are subject to change or can be removed entirely at Hoyoverse’s discretion.
First up, the banner for 2.7 includes the newest Hydro character Yelan, as well as a Xiao banner rerun. The four-star units that have their draw rate increased are Yanfei, Noelle, and Barbara. If you missed the information about Yelan, we’ve got a guide on her ascension materials and abilities here. According to internal data, the tentative release date for Yelan’s banner is May 31.
You’ll note that Kuki Shinobu is not in those banners at all — her internal data shows a release date of June 21, which would likely coincide with patch 2.8. The leak also revealed that Heizou’s Hangout Event will be released in patch 2.8, alongside Kaedehara Kazuha’s Story Quest. There’s also an unnamed four-star Sword with an ATK% sub-stat and an AoE attack plus ATK buff built-in. It’s unknown how this weapon is obtained but theorized that it could be an earnable freebie.
Finally, some new hints about Diluc skin and Fischl skin have been embedded in the game data. While no concrete details are given, this would mark the first time a male character is given an alternative costume in Genshin Impact. There is also a new set of quests related to Diluc lore to coincide with this skin release. The quest appears to include new missions at the Dawn Winery (among other things planned for 2.8).
