Most of Xianyun’s gameplay kit in 4.4 has allegedly been leaked, even if there are still a few specifics that are being worked on by the developer, HoYoverse. This includes her Vision, weapon type, abilities, and even passive Talents and Constellations. The human form of Cloud Retainer, the crane-like adepti of the region of Liyue, made her debut as an NPC in an animated cutscene during 2023’s Lantern Rite Festival event.

Some of the playable content, such as new areas and NPCs, has also been revealed through leaks.
