Yunjin and Shenhe, two new characters, will be introduced in Genshin Impact version 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 was widely speculated to be the first Dendro character in Genshin Impact, however, it has since been established that she would be a Geo Polearm. She presently appears as an NPC in the game, serenading Liyue with her opera performances.

Shenhe was thought to be the Cloud Retainer's human form, however, she only has a tight relationship with the Adeptus. She'll be a five-star character who can also employ the Cryo-Polearm. The release of the two characters was disclosed by an anonymous data miner, and miHoYo has subsequently confirmed it.

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 a patch with three banners, and the Ganyu and Xiao re-runs 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.

Skins for Genshin Impact 2.4 Keqing and Ningguang

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 released in conjunction with the Lantern Rite event, Fleeting Colors in Flight. This event was first introduced in Version 1.3, when Xiao, the five-star Anemo Adeptus, appeared.

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.
