It feels like only yesterday we were sat watching Yae Miko’s grand reveal, but it really is nearly time for the next Genshin Impact update. HoYoverse has finally confirmed the Genshin Impact 2.6 livestream time, and it’s taking place this Friday, March 18.
During the livestream, more will be revealed about everything to come in Genshin Impact 2.6 – dubbed ‘Zephyr of the Violet Garden’ – including the Kamisato Ayato release date, and, hopefully, more on the brand new Chasm area located to the west of Lisha in Liyue. A possible Venti rerun banner in the first half of the 2.6 update has also been reported by credible leaker ‘Lumie’.
Of course, there has also been the usual flurry of rumours regarding potential character banners that will feature throughout the update, with Ayaka, Kazuha, Klee, and Yoimiya all being touted as possible rerun recipients. HoYoverse will hopefully clarify who we’ll be seeing alongside Ayato during 2.6 on Friday.
