- The leak also reveals the accompanying 4-Star characters, including Kujou Sara and Chevreuse, but players may find Xinyan difficult to construct.
In line with recent leaks, Genshin Impact players prepare for the potential of Nahida and Yae Miko featuring on the Version 4.4 banners as a substitute of Ganyu and Shenhe. While the banner order for Genshin Impact characters is frequently planned several updates upfront, HoYoverse has a repute for changing its mind. Most notoriously, Eula was rumored to debut her second rerun much sooner than Version 3.8, and plenty of players feel that Albedo is getting the Eula treatment in Fontaine.
All signs pointed towards Version 4.4 having Xiao, Xianyun, Ganyu, and Shenhe on the Event Banners, as not only is the Lantern Rite heavily focused on Liyue and its characters, but Ganyu and Shenhe are receiving latest skins within the upcoming update as well. Nonetheless, there are two key pieces of data that strongly imply HoYoverse has other plans in mind for Genshin Impact Version 4.4.
As revealed by hxg to the Genshin Impact Leaks community, Shenhe and Ganyu will likely be replaced by Nahida and Yae Miko within the second half of Version 4.4. The evidence that strongly backs up hxg’s claim is twofold: HoYoverse appears to be doing an Archon marathon, where Zhongli, Venti, Furina, and Raiden all had banners in consecutive Versions; and the Spiral Abyss boss for Version 4.4 is slated to be the Setekh Wenut, which Yae Miko in Aggravate teams is especially good against.
Along with revealing Nahida and Yae Miko’s rerun for Version 4.4, the leak also confirmed the 4-Star characters that may be accompanying Raiden and Yoimiya’s banners. To nobody’s surprise, Kujou Sara will likely be certainly one of the featured characters, as would Chevreuse, the brand new 4-Star Pyro Polearm who’s designed with Overload teams in mind. Nonetheless, the third 4-Star will allegedly be Xinyan, certainly one of the clunkier characters to construct in Genshin Impact.

While leaks ought to be taken with a grain of salt, it have to be noted that Ayaka and Yoimiya similarly modified the banners for Genshin Impact‘s Version 4.3, once they replaced the reruns of Albedo and Itto, respectively. The brand new banner order will help players save up Primogems for Shenhe and Ganyu, as Xianyun will little question be a well-liked character to drag when Version 4.4 releases at the top of January 2024.
