A Genshin Impact chart shows the first-week revenue of the current limited banner that features the new five-star character Xianyun and the Dendro Archon Nahida. Both of these characters are part of the first banner phase of the ongoing version 4.4, which also features a new four-star unit named Gaming.

A new Genshin Impact leak has given more details about Chiori's potential appearance on the Standard Banner. The game runs on a gacha-based system which allows players to try their luck and pull for different characters that can have either a five-star or four-star rarity.

A Honkai: Star Rail leak has revealed the model of a mysterious character, Screwllum, who hasn't been officially revealed yet. Honkai: Star Rail's next version is rumored to feature two new characters, one of which will likely have a five-star rarity. It was scheduled to be released in March; however, update 2.1 has been delayed to early April. According to HoYoverse, the beta phase for 2.1 will start on February 20.

A new Genshin Impact leak has revealed the number of Primogems and wishes players will be able to get for free during the upcoming version 4.5. Primogems are considered the most important item in the game, as they allow players to acquire new characters and weapons from the gacha banners.

Recent leaks surrounding Genshin Impact version 4.5 have revealed several side activities, including cat petting, which players will try out next month. As usual, Genshin Impact players will be introduced to a brand-new unit in a major update. This time they will meet the five-star Geo user Chiori, who is rumored to be a dual-wielding character. HoYoverse hasn't revealed her skills as yet, but some credible leakers provided information about the character's kit, revealing that she delivers a degree of AoE Geo damage.

A new leak from Honkai: Star Rail has revealed details about the gameplay for upcoming five-star character Aventurine, ahead of his release in Version 2.1. The debut of Penacony has brought plenty of new characters into the world of the massively popular HoYoverse RPG, both releasing in Version 2.0 and teased for later updates. Version 2.0 saw the release of Black Swan, Sparkle, and Misha, while HoYoverse would officially confirm three more characters set to arrive in the following update. Now, one of Version 2.1's five-star characters has seen his gameplay kit leaked.

A talented artist drew all the versions of Raiden Mei from every HoYoverse game that she's part of. HoYoverse previously confirmed that it's creating a multiverse, where alternate versions of characters could exist in its other video game universes.

A Honkai: Star Rail leak is making the rounds online, providing details about Gallagher's skill set. Honkai: Star Rail's Gallagher has been revealed as a version 2.1 character who will debut in the game later next month. Version 2.1 was meant to arrive this week; however, it has been delayed by a week due to the Chinese New Year. When the update comes out, players will be rewarded with Stellar Jades.

Many Genshin Impact players think Setekh Wenut doesn't belong to the Spiral Abyss, calling the developers to remove or adjust it as soon as possible. Genshin Impact's Spiral Abyss hosts some of the hardest enemies in the game, including Setekh Wenut that lives underneath the Desert of Hadramaveth. Having been introduced as a world boss in version 3.4, the Sumeru-based serpent has joined the Spiral Abyss lineup in 3.5 with extra resistance.

A Honkai: Star Rail leak is teasing the potential in-game appearance of rumored upcoming character Sam, expected to be introduced to the game in a future update. The recent launch of the HoYoverse sci-fi RPG's Version 2.0 update has brought plenty of new content to the game, aside from the debut of Penacony. Version 2.0 introduces three new playable characters to Honkai: Star Rail with Black Swan, Sparkle, and Misha coming alongside new areas to explore and new puzzle-solving mechanics. A new leak could now potentially be teasing rumored character Sam's addition to the game.

A Honkai: Star Rail leak has revealed the amount of treasure chests players can collect in the Penacony world. In version 2.0, Honkai: Star Rail will increase the size of its map by adding an explorable realm that consists of vibrant areas. There, players will not only take on new story missions but also come across formidable enemies.

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.

Genshin Impact has revealed a brand-new Catalyst weapon Xianyun will be using after she makes her playable debut in version 4.4. In a trailer dedicated to Xianyun, Genshin Impact has given players their first look at the upcoming five-star unit and teased her relationship with Ganyu. As it turned out, she used to keep an eye on baby Ganyu and give her some tiny toys as a gift.

Chinese developer Kuro Game has released new information about its upcoming game, Wuthering Waves, confirming the game's second beta test and PlayStation versions. Kuro Game first announced the game in 2022 as a new action RPG with many fans drawing comparisons to Genshin Impact with its fast-paced and fluid combat. Early trailers saw Wuthering Waves showcase similar gameplay to «hack-and-slash» games, putting an emphasis on difficulty and timing with the players' inputs. Now, excited fans are set to learn more about the game with its second closed beta test.

Honkai: Star Rail confirmed the two rerun characters coming in Version 2.0. The two characters will be released alongside Honkai: Star Rail's upcoming five-star characters, Black Swan and Sparkle.

Honkai: Star Rail announced that it's giving away 20 free pulls in Version 2.0. The news came out during the Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.0 Special Program stream titled «If One Dreams At Midnight.» The next update will officially go live on February 6.

The version 2.0 update for Honkai: Star Rail, dubbed “If One Dreams at Midnight,” will launch on February 6, developer miHoYo announced.

Honkai: Star Rail has revealed Gallagher as a new Fire Abundance character coming to the game with the launch of the Version 2.1 update, currently expected to debut in March. With the release of Honkai: Star Rail's newest playable world right around the corner, HoYoverse has given fans plenty of reasons to be excited about the new world. Penacony's release is expected to bring three new playable characters to Star Rail, more areas to explore, and even new gameplay mechanics. Now, players are being teased with even more characters to come.

Honkai: Star Rail has given players their first look at the Penacony-based duo, Robin and Sunday, in a trailer dedicated to update 2.0. In the next version, Honkai: Star Rail players will travel to a brand-new location, Penacony, to meet interesting NPCs and take on challenging encounters to progress in the story. As revealed by the developers, they will also navigate through different regions of this planet to find treasure chests that include valuable loot.

With Version 4.4 set for release on January 31, 2024, Genshin Impact has revealed the character teaser for the upcoming 5-Star Anemo Catalyst Xianyun. Though Version 4.4 is set to bring a new Lantern Rite event, Chenyu Vale, three alternate skins, and two playable characters to Genshin Impact, its community hasn't exactly been happy with the annual rewards provided by the game, especially when compared to the generosity shown by the team working on Honkai: Star Rail.

Honkai: Star Rail recently unveiled the drip marketing of the new character Aventurine, confirming his rarity, path, and element. Although Honkai: Star Rail's Aventurine has been featured in plenty of leaks thus far, details surrounding the character's backstory have always remained a mystery. Players barely know anything about him except for the fact that he is a member of the Strategic Investment Department, an influential organization that operates on Jarilo IV and Penacony planets.

Genshin Impact is currently being review-bombed in China, on top of suffering a massive loss of social media followers. Its ongoing difficulties appear to be related to HoYoverse's recent livestream announcing the Genshin Impact 4.4 Banners and some additional events.

A recent Honkai Star Rail leak has revealed that Jing Yuan will receive a rerun in the first phase of version 2.0. Over the past few days, details surrounding update 2.0 have leaked online, suggesting that Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae will be added as a rerun banner. Since Honkai: Star Rail fans will celebrate the Chinese New Year, titled Year of the Wooden Dragon, in the upcoming update, they think Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae is thematically fitting.

Honkai: Star Rail has announced the date for its Version 2.0 Special Program stream. With the latest update coming in a few weeks, many Honkai: Star Rail players are looking forward to exploring Penacony and continuing the main adventure.

A Honkai: Star Rail leak shows gameplay for a new boss that will allegedly appear in Memory of Chaos in version 2.0. Honkai: Star Rail's Memory of Chaos is a dungeon-like domain where players must take on waves of enemies to reach the final boss. Filled with ten difficult stages, it requires Trailblazers to create a flexible team comp that functions against all types of mobs. Besides character and Light Cone XP materials, the endgame domain gives players a number of Stellar Jades for clearing floors.

A particularly keen Genshin Impact player discovered a clue about the upcoming Natlan region in the recent Special Program Announcement for Version 4.4. Despite initially releasing with just Mondstadt and Liyue, the developers have commendably been open about Genshin Impact's future regions ever since the Travail teaser dropped. Genshin Impact teased Lyney and Lynette in September 2020, and their visual design, as well as their narrative role in Fontaine, endured without change all the way to their official debut in Version 4.0.

Honkai: Star Rail fans are predicting the possible star levels of the Annihilation Gang based on one design detail in their character cards. The Annihilation Gang was introduced in Honkai: Star Rail's recent trailer, which featured Duke Inferno and four new characters.

Honkai: Star Rail has revealed models of each member of the Annihilation Gang, giving players an insight into their design. Honkai: Star Rail fans barely know anything about the Annihilation Gang, since this organization has had a limited presence in the story thus far. It's comprised of two factions that have at least four members, with one being Duke Inferno, who will allegedly be revealed as a new villain in the game.

A recent Honkai: Star Rail leak indicates that Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae will receive a rerun banner in version 2.0. Honkai: Star Rail is expected to add at least two new characters in update 2.0, including Sparkle and Misha, that have their own potent skill sets. In addition to Light Cones and events, the next version will bring some old units' limited banners, with whom players can expand their roster.

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.

Honkai: Star Rail introduced four new characters in anticipation of its upcoming Penacony arc. The new world will debut in Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.0, which is expected to come out in February, and will feature new playable characters, like Black Swan, Sparkle, and Misha.

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. In addition to exploring its breathtaking sights, Genshin Impact players will also be able to aid the local adeptus in healing the land, and even challenge a new world boss.

Hello, Travelers! The Genshin Impact dev team is excited to wish you all the best for the new year and announce our first version update of 2024! Version 4.4 Vibrant Harriers Aloft in Spring Breeze will be released on January 31 and brings us back to Liyue! You are invited to join Xianyun and Gaming to celebrate the new year in Teyvat, enjoy the festivities and obtain numerous rewards, including 10 + 3 Intertwined Fate, a free 4-star Liyue character, and a new outfit for Xingqiu.

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 new Genshin Impact chart has revealed the most used characters in the current Phase 2 of Version 4.4 Spiral Abyss. This domain is considered by many to be the hardest piece of end-game content, as it often requires Travelers to adapt their team composition to exploit the enemies' weaknesses.

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.

Genshin Impact has officially confirmed the exact date and time of the Special Program event for version 4.4. Before each new update arrives, developer HoYoverse hosts a livestream event that reveals most of the upcoming content, such as new characters, storylines, weapons, etc.

A new Genshin Impact leak has revealed more details about one of the upcoming characters named Chiori, who has already made multiple in-game appearances. The game keeps expanding the playable roster with each new update, with the Fontaine duo Navia and Chevreuse being the two most recent additions.

Genshin Impact has revealed all the quality-of-life changes for version 4.4, confirming that it will provide Travelers with five more slots to build new team compositions. In every version, Genshin Impact brings a couple of adjustments to offer a smoother gameplay experience. The majority of these adjustments are intended to improve a certain aspect of the game and are made upon the request of players.

Recent Genshin Impact leaks show new places in Chenyu Vale, revealing some Local Legends players will encounter in the upcoming region. Genshin Impact's version 4.4 will reportedly expand the Liyue world into Chenyu Vale, a new area that hosts characters and NPCs. Leaks regarding the next destination have already revealed farming routes, showing where players can farm enhancement materials.

A new Genshin Impact leak has revealed more information about the characters that are expected to join the playable roster in the upcoming updates. Since the Fontaine update arrived, developer HoYoverse has been introducing at least two characters in each of the following updates, with Navia and Chevreuse being the most recent additions.

Honkai: Star Rail has revealed the rerun banner for the second phase of version 1.6, confirming that the five-star Nihility unit Kafka will be available until the next update. The current banner in Honkai: Star Rail simultaneously promotes both new characters and reruns, offering players as many options as possible to set up their party. It's accompanied by a free five-star unit, Dr. Ratio, who would be a useful addition to DPS teams that have at least one great damage dealer.

A new Honkai: Star Rail chart shows the most popular characters for the game's Pure Fiction mode. Besides Forgotten Hall and Simulated Universe, Honkai: Star Rail features combat-based endgame content, Pure Fiction, which requires players to progress through difficult levels of enemies. This permanent mode is where Trailblazers must form versatile teams to secure the highest score possible and acquire bountiful rewards.

Some Genshin Impact leaks provide information about Chiori's kit and release date, revealing that she will be the only new character in version 4.5. Based on previous Genshin Impact leaks, it has been known that when Chiori arrives in the game, she will be available to claim through an event that promotes a pair of reruns, Ayato and Kamisato Ayaka. Multiple sources claim the character is the protagonist of version 4.5, during which players will allegedly learn fresh details about the Fontaine arc.

Genshin Impact could be adding 5-Star weapons to the in-game store, as a recent leak suggests that players will be able to purchase 5-Star weapons directly as part of a gift package. Even if it didn't come to fruition, it's no secret that the latest law proposal in China has caused the Genshin Impact community to wonder if HoYoverse would be making any changes to the game's gacha system. While there is a way to guarantee limited 5-Star characters in Genshin Impact after a certain number of pulls, no such option exists for 4-Star characters or the Standard Banner.

A recent Genshin Impact leak suggests Columbina will be playable in version 5.0 or beyond. Codenamed «Damselette», Columbina is known as Cryo Archon's elite soldier and a member of the Snezhnayab society. Due to being one of the eleven Fatui Harbingers, she possesses equal power to god-like creatures in Teyvat. Over the course of the main story, players meet some of the Harbingers; however, Genshin Impact doesn't reveal many details about these powerful characters.

Though all eyes are on Gaming and Xianyun as Version 4.4 edges closer to release, Genshin Impact players can find out an early overview of what Clorinde and Sigewinne will add to the character roster. Whereas the meta has revolved around Hyperbloom and Vaporize teams in the past year and a half, Fontaine's focus seems to be about providing alternatives in building a powerful team in Genshin Impact. Wriothesley and Furina have given Freeze new life, and Navia transformed the way people look at Crystallize shards.

A few reliable sources have revealed that Genshin Impact is doubling-down on Overload as an Elemental Reaction, as Arlecchino is rumored to be an on-field Overload DPS. While Sumeru was widely praised for introducing the Dendro Element to Genshin Impact, Fontaine seems to be taking a second look at some of the more underutilized Elemental Reactions in the game. Version 4.3 saw the release of Navia, and though the state of Geo in Genshin Impact leaves a lot to be desired, the Demoiselle introduced an alternative way to use Crystallize in combat by transforming it into an offensive buff.

Honkai: Star Rail has introduced players to Dr. Ratio, releasing a trailer that shows the character in action against various enemies. For the very first time, Honkai: Star Rail will give players a free five-star unit, Dr. Ratio, who will be available to claim until the end of patch 2.1. Once the second part of 1.6 is released on January 17, he will get his own banner like every new character in the game.

miHoYo’s next big update for Genshin Impact, Version 4.3, “Roses and Muskets”, goes live on December 20th. It adds Navia as a new five-star character, having played a significant role in the story till now. A new Character Demo trailer is available and highlights some of her skills as she ventures through Fontaine to catch a thief.
