A popular character named Yelan has appeared in multipleGenshin Impactleaks which means that she could arrive in the following updates. A recent tweet from the popular leaker named SaveYourPrimos subReddit has revealed more information including a possible release in update 2.7 around mid-May. When it comes to her combat capabilities, she is expected to be a new Hydro bow user which would make her the first character that uses this element-weapon combination. Yelan will most likely be a five-star character that will arrive alongsideaGenshin Impactdouble banner re-run. According to anotherGenshin Impactleaker named Ubatcha1, these leaks should still be taken with a grain of salt, especially considering that update 2.7 is still months away.

Yelan will apparently not be the only Hydro character to arrive in the upcoming updates as many leaks are already predicting the arrival of Ayaka’s brother, Kamisato Ayato, the head of the Kamisato clan. The majority of theGenshin Impactcommunity thought that it was Ayaka who was pulling the strings in the Kamisato clan, though the recent story quests have revealed that it’s actually Ayato who works in the background while assuming leadership tasks. The fact that Ayato is a Hydro character means that he could have great synergy with his sisterAyaka who has a unique playstyle.

Just like Yelan, he will most likely be a new five-star character arriving after update 2.5 which will likely feature thefan-favorite character Yae Miko. Ayato fans have had their moments a couple of weeks ago as the new Arataki Itto character teaser included a couple of Ayato’s voice lines. This is usually miHoYo’s way of announcing that a new character will join the playable character roster in the foreseeable future, giving fans a good reason to be excited.

Genshin Impactis available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, and a Nintendo Switch version in development.
