Want to find out about the latest Genshin Impact banners? The open-world gacha game relies on its roster of loveable characters and fresh faces as it adds ever-more powerful heroes to the game. You can recruit these Genshin Impact characters (opens in new tab) by using Primogems (opens in new tab) to wish on banners, as well as grabbing their unique weapon.
With the Genshin Impact 2.7 (opens in new tab) livestream having finally aired, we now know when the update is arriving and what to expect. Both Yelan (opens in new tab) and Kuki Shinobu (opens in new tab) are set to take the stage, though they'll feature on different banners, while Arataki Itto (opens in new tab) and Xiao (opens in new tab) are also getting reruns. If that wasn't enough, the new character Heizou (opens in new tab) was also revealed, though it's likely he'll drop in 2.8
So if you're looking for info about any and all of these characters and when to expect them, this Genshin Impact banners guide should serve you well. I'll keep it updated with any new banner announcements as well as recording previous banners so you know who's likely to get a rerun next.
