Genshin Impact 2.6 leaks: Ayato release date, Ayaka rerun, and new artifacts

If the recent Genshin Impact 2.6 leaks are correct, Ayato will appear on the opening banner, and Ayaka may return. There are numerous artifact leaks as well, none of which are definitive (with a few contradicting one another). All of these leaks are in the early stages of development, which means they could be completely inaccurate or subject to change.

Still, for those who want to keep up with what's going on in the Genshin Impact leaking community, it's worth compiling a list of various leaks. Some of these may turn out to be accurate, especially if further leaks add to their foundation.

Genshin Impact leaks: Ayato release date, new artifact rumors, and Ayaka rerun roadmap

Ayato will make his debut as a playable character in Genshin Impact 2.6, according to several previous leaks. This leak, on the other hand, is intriguing because it suggests that two characters will be rerun in the same patch, though with an uncertain release date. Yoimiya and Ayaka, who have never had a rerun previously, are the two characters that are reportedly getting a rerun.

Other sources hint that Kazuha and Venti may have replayed in Genshin Impact 2.6. So yet, none of the alleged leaks have been confirmed, so travelers should be wary until hard evidence is presented.

Ayato's release date

Ayato is expected to appear on the opening banner of Genshin Impact 2.6, according to several sources. That would indicate that his release date will be the same as the 2.6 updates, which is set for March 30, 2022.

Given how far away that release date is, fans should be aware that little is known about the four-star characters who will debut alongside him. It's also unknown whether or if another 5-star character banner will run with Ayato, or if so, who it would be.

Artifact rumors

There's a lot of conflicting information out there about impending items. Take the two leaks mentioned above as an example. The first specifies an Electro artifact set that is ideal for Yae Miko, whereas the second leak from a different leaker claims that she does not have an artifact set.

Alternatively, the first leak may be viewed as an option for Yae Miko, but not as a customized artifact set created specifically for her. Some leaks will, of course, be wrong. There is no proof that any of the new objects accomplish anything. All fans have to go on is the credibility of the leaker and what their inside sources tell them.

Two artifact sets, one focusing on HP percent and the other on Normal Attacks, may or may not exist. This could be in accordance with TZ's leak, which stated that the 2.6 update has nothing for Yae Miko. It's worth noting, however, that the precise impacts of these alleged artifact sets are unknown.

Another fascinating TZ leak revealed that in Genshin Impact 2.6, Ayato would receive an artifact set. It's unclear if this leak is related to the previous one, while other leaks indicate that the Primordial Jade Cutter and Kagura's Verity for 2.5 are correct.
