As Genshin Impact‘s version 2.6 continues to bring players a wave of features, known leaker BLANK posted a new leak regarding the game’s upcoming version 2.7. This time revealing that, together with 5-star Hydro Archer Yelan and 4-star Electro Sword user Kuki Shinobu, 5-star Geo Claymore user Arataki Itto, and 4-star Pyro Catalyst user Yanfei will all have major roles in the upcoming version.

The leak was posted a few hours after BLANK revealed that the 5-star Anemo Polearm user Xiao will also be one of the main characters in version 2.7. It’s still unknown if the role of the characters in the storyline will be translated into a rerun for both Xiao and Arataki Itto.

If the presence of the characters is confirmed in the version and indeed translates to them being two of the featured characters set to star in the upcoming banners, this will be Xiao’s third rerun and Arataki Itto’s first, since his debut during update 2.3 ”Shadows Amidst Snowstorms”, released on November 24, 2021.

As mentioned, Genshin Impact’s upcoming version 2.7 is set to feature not only the debut of both Yelan and Shinobu but also a new series of exclusive events. Version 2.7 is expected to be released on May 11, 2022, a day after the end of the upcoming Kamisato Ayaka rerun banner. The Ayaka banner is set to debut in three days, on April 19th.
