Genshin Impact 2.4 leaks: New banners and event reruns revealed

In Genshin Impact 2.4, a slew of characters will return to the highlighted banner, allowing players to summon some of Liyue's most coveted heroes. With the return of the Lantern Rite festival, fans can expect to see replays of Xiao, Ganyu, and even Zhongli, as well as new characters like Shenhe and Yun Jin.

Fans who have been waiting for these formidable characters to return will want to save aside some Primogems for the next 2.4 release. Here's where players can learn more about what's coming in Genshin Impact 2.4.

Genshin Impact 2.4: New banners and event reruns revealed

According to Genshin Impact 2.4 leaks, the next update will include a large cast of characters, including four 5-stars. Three of these characters are among Liyue's most powerful, with Ganyu continuing to top the damage statistics and Zhongli being an indispensable member of any Spiral Abyss team. Xiao is still one of Genshin's most popular characters, and his distinct playstyle makes for some entertaining encounters.

Shenhe, a newly revealed 5-star Cryo character with some intriguing support potential, joins these characters. Because of the way banners are put up, Shenhe and Yun Jin are expected to appear either when the update arrives on January 5 or when the second banner drops on January 26.

Because Genshin Impact's new wish banners can now come in two at a time, it's unclear which one will take precedence. Because there will be so many options, fans will want to make the most of their wishes with this update.

Events like Lantern Rite and Windtrace are expected to return with the 2.4 release, along with a slew of new rewards.

The Lantern Rite event is still one of the greatest for free-to-play gamers, with a large number of Primogems available through quests and other activities. Windtrace, a new spin on the hide and seek principle, is also one of the game's most popular mini-games.

Players should plan ahead for these reruns because they will most likely have a lot of work to do when they come. The upcoming Genshin Impact 2.4 update will be heavily centered on Liyue, and players can expect a lot from it.
