Genshin Impact is expected to start its official drip marketing for Chiori on December 29, 2024, though a reliable leak has shared an early preview of what players can hope to see from her ability kit. Though Version 4.3 was considered a dry patch, its Flagship Event introduced Genshin Impact fans to Chiori, a former acquaintance of Kamisato Ayato, and the owner of Chioriya Boutique in the Court of Fontaine. It didn't take long for her to become a fan-favorite, and while Version 4.4 will instead focus on the Lantern Rite, Chiori is expected to make her playable debut in Version 4.5.

The game has long been struggling with leaks – most of the planned content for Fontaine in Version 4.0 was shared months before its release, and the majority of it was accurate.

's seven elements are crucial parts of the game, and although each contributes to gameplay in its own way, there is a hierarchy to them. The seven multi-faceted elements affect numerous parts of the combat and exploration systems, and are some of the first things players should learn to master.

While learning how each element works alone is essential, it is equally so to understand the reactions and interactions they share with each other.

miHoYo has announced the next update for Genshin Impact – Version 4.4, “Vibrant Harriers Aloft in Spring Breeze.” It goes live on January 31st and features the return of the Lantern Rite in Liyue, with a new area, Chenyu Vale, becoming available. Check out the trailer below.

It's shaping up to be a Geo-centered update on Genshin Impact in the near future, as both Albedo and Itto have been missing for over ten patches since their last banner appearance. Waiting lists for limited characters are a favorite in the Genshin Impact community, as it helps players chart their gacha journey by being mindful of the last time a 5-Star character had their rerun. While there is always a chance that an Event Banner in Genshin Impact receives an early rerun, as is the case with Yoimiya, HoYoverse tends to prioritize characters who haven't had a reappearance in recent versions.

The latest Special Preview Program for Genshin Impact has revealed an ambitious slate of new content coming in Version 4.4, which also includes skins for Ganyu, Shenhe, and Xingqiu, as well as confirming the event banners for Xianyun, Nahida, Xiao, and Yae Miko. Chenyu Vale in Genshin Impact is finally making its debut, as the new zone will bridge the gap between Fontaine and Liyue, and connect the two nations together.

A new Genshin Impact leak suggests version 4.8 will add a limited-time map that is similar to Fontaine in terms of design. Since its initial launch, Genshin Impact has introduced three temporary locations, with the last one being version 3.8's Veluriyam Mirage, which featured a variety of content, including puzzles and quests. These event-exclusive destinations not only contributed to the game's ongoing story but also offered many treasure chests. Following the conclusion of events, they were permanently removed from the map of Teyvat.

A recent Genshin Impact leak hints at the inclusion of birthday banners, revealing that the game's permanent wish will receive a significant update soon. Genshin Impact's banner system promotes a limited number of characters, meaning players can't find a chance to get many old units that aren't featured on the Wanderlust Invocation and event wishes. Though the Wanderlust Invocation offers non-event exclusive characters, this permanent pool still lacks the majority of five-star banners.
