Genshin Impact is well known for the powerful updates that they bring to its game. Travelers are treated to newer content every now and then. These happen mainly through events, fresh character banners, reruns, and new regions. The Teyvat world is ever-expanding. When the game was released two years ago, there were just two regions. Later, more regions were added.

Adding more regions increased the area players can explore. Sumeru is the latest addition to this list. Now, Genshin will introduce the remaining part of the region through its new patch that will soon be available for the players.

  • Reruns

The thing that Genshin Players love more after Primogems are reruns. This gives them the opportunity to get their hands on their favorite characters, who they might have missed in the initial banners. If rumors are right, Xiao will make a dramatic return in this patch. He is supposed to come as a part of Genshin’s yearly Lantern Rite Event.

The other rerun banner would be Hu Tao, the sinister Pyro character. Hu Tao has not had a rerun after 2.2 and if the rumors are right she will make her return in this patch. This has been the longest gap for any character banner.
