miHoYo is gearing up for its next major update, Genshin Impact 4.5. Though official release dates and other specifics are still pending confirmation from developer HoYoverse, here’s a glimpse of what to expect.
Chiori
Version 4.5 is set to introduce Chiori, a 5-star Geo Sword user shrouded in mystery. Leaks and drip marketing hints suggest she possesses a unique playstyle, offering offensive and defensive capabilities.
Travelers eager to add this enigmatic character to their team will likely find her on the first banner, estimated to be released around March 13, 2024 (based on past update schedules).
Rerun Banners (Estimated Dates)
Beyond the exciting new arrival, version 4.5 is expected to feature several rerun banners, bringing back beloved characters for players who might have missed them the first time. Based on leaks and community speculation, the following characters are potential candidates for reruns:
- Arataki Itto: This burly Geo Claymore user, known for his love of beetles and fighting style, hasn’t been featured since early 2022, making his return a potential highlight for many players. His banner is estimated to be the second banner, released around March 27, 2024.
- Kaedehara Kazuha: After an eight-month break, the renowned 5-star Anemo Sword user—praised for his adaptability and CC—might return. His banner is projected to be unveiled on April 10, 2024, making it the third banner.
- Neuvillette: The enigmatic Hydro Polearm character, who debuted in version 4.1, could have a chance to return for players who wish to add his unique Hydro abilities to their team. His banner, estimated to be the fourth banner, was released around April 24, 2024.
Uncertainties and Confirmation
While leaks and past update schedules provide estimated dates, it’s crucial to remember that nothing is officially confirmed until an announcement by HoYoverse. Travelers should wait for official sources to reveal the exact details of the 4.5 banners, including character rosters, confirmed release dates, and banner durations.
