Genshin Impact 2.4 leaks: Yunjin & Shenhe, Enkanomiya map update, release date

Two new characters, Yunjin and Shenhe, are set to arrive on Teyvat in the Genshin Impact update 2.4, while the Inazuma map update will include the new territory Enkanomiya, among other things. Here's everything we know about the patch for January 2022. Online leaks for Genshin Impact 2.4 have appeared, revealing Yunjin, Shenhe, and the impending Enkanomiya map update. While many players will be saving their Primogems for the 2.3 updates, which will bring Arataki Itto and Gorou to the game, the 2.4 updates will also be jam-packed with new content. Although it's still early, we've compiled all of the Genshin Impact update 2.4 leaks and rumors in anticipation of the imminent release.

Genshin Impact update 2.4 release date

Version 2.4 of Genshin Impact is expected to be released in January 2022. According to current speculation, 2.4 will take place from January 5 to February 15.

Genshin Impact update 2.4 Livestream

MiHoYo has yet to announce the Genshin Impact 2.4 Livestream, but we'll most likely hear something closer to the release date. The stream will most likely be hosted by the developers on Twitch, with the typical promo code giveaways and character presentations. For your convenience, we've linked the official Genshin Impact Twitch broadcast below.

New characters Yunjin, Shenhe coming in Genshin Impact update 2.4

Yunjin and Shenhe are finally scheduled to be released in Genshin Impact update 2.4, after being in the files for months. Yunjin is thought to be the first Dendro character in Genshin Impact, broadening the game's elements for the first time since its introduction. She presently appears as an NPC in the game, serenading Liyue with her opera performances.

Although voice lines merely refer to the idea, Shenhe was supposed to be the human form of the Cloud Retainer. She is, however, intended to be a five-star character who also uses the Cryo-Catalyst. An unknown data miner disclosed the information on Gorou and Itto's release, as well as the Albedo and Eula re-run in update 2.3. Ubatcha1 has endorsed it as well.

Ganyu & Xiao re-runs leaked for Genshin Impact update 2.4

In version 2.4, the same anonymous leaker claims that Ganyu and Xiao will be re-run. This would result in yet another patch with three banners, and the re-runs of Ganyu and Xiao might happen at the same time as Albedo and Eula's.

Genshin Impact update 2.4 map update: Enkanomiya rumored, not The Chasm

While earlier leaks suggested that The Chasm, located west of Liyue, would be included in Genshin Impact update 2.4, the game's release has been postponed. Instead, gamers will spend another patch in Inazuma, this time exploring Enkanomiya. The underground palace near Sangonomiya Shrine will investigate what many believe to be the Watatsumi people's birthplace.

Those hoping for an early Dendro release may have to wait a little longer unless the Yunjin leaks are real.

Genshin Impact 2.4 Keqing and Ningguang skins

The Keqing and Ningguang skins have been speculated for a while, but according to Ubatcha1, they will be included in the 2.4 updates for Genshin Impact. Both skins will be available at the same time as the Lantern Rite event. This event was first introduced in Version 1.3, when Xiao, the 5-star Anemo Adeptus, made an appearance.

While miHoYo has yet to explain how to obtain Keqing and Ningguang's skins, they will most likely follow the same method as the previous Jean and Barbara skins in the game.

During the event, Jean's "Sea Breeze Dandelion" skin was available for a limited-time discount in the in-game Shop. Meanwhile, Barbara's can be unlocked by fulfilling the new Echoing Tales event's conditions.

As a result, it's expected that Keqing's skin would cost 1,350 Genesis Crystals to purchase, while Ningguang's will be available for free during the event.
