Summary
A reliable source in theGenshin Impactcommunity may have revealed the Event Banners for Version 4.6, featuring a few unexpected reruns. The bread-and-butter ofGenshin Impacthas always been its characters: they are the main appeal of the game, the driving force of its gameplay, and the primary source of profit for HoYoverse. As such, knowing which characters are releasing is considered valuable information toGenshin Impactplayers, as they can then choose how to spend their Primogems responsibly.
The Fontaine patch cycle has introduced many popularGenshin Impactcharacters, such as Furina and Neuvillette, who have firmly carved their own spot in the endgame meta. Others, such as Xianyun and Chevreuse, have enabled new types of gameplay for old units by buffing niche concepts such as Plunging Attacks and Overload. With Arlecchino coming in Version 4.6, it’s clear that HoYoverse has ambitious plans for the rest of the Fontaine cast, but these new releases will be sprinkled in with a few key reruns.
Whereas Neuvillette and Kazuha are expected to grace the Event Banners once more during the second half of Version 4.5, it would appear that Wanderer and Baizhu are due for another re-run in Version 4.6. The information wasshared by Dimbreath on Twitterand posted on theGenshin Impact Leakssubreddit. Rather fittingly, it’s expected thatGenshin Impactwill see Lyneyaccompany the director of the House of the Hearth on the Event Banners of Version 4.6.
Genshin Impact Version 4.6 Banner Characters
It’s important to note that while this appears to be the current line-up for Version 4.6, HoYoverse has a reputation for changing the Event Banners on a whim. Most recently, Itto and Albedo were scheduled to appear in the Event Banners for Version 4.3, before ultimately being moved to Version 4.5. While some may find Baizhu’s re-run shocking, it’s important to note that he would be eligible forGenshin Impact’s new Chronicled Bannerafter Version 4.6.
Following a similar train of thought, it’s quite possible thatGenshin Impactwill feature a Shenhe re-run in Version 4.7, but this currently remains in the realm of speculation. The star of Version 4.6 is expected to be Arlecchino, though the new update will also see the debut ofPetrichor and Remuria inGenshin Impact, two long-awaited locations that will nearly complete Fontaine as a Region of Teyvat. The next map expansion is expected to come in Version 5.0 with the launch of Natlan.
