Genshin Impact’s Version 3.0 is popping off with Sumeru and players can’t wait for the new Sumeru characters. With the release of Dendro in this patch, we’re set to get characters that will synergise well with the element for the next few updates. We already know the upcoming new character releases so in this article we’ll refresh your memory on those and talk about the freshly leaked reruns we’re getting in the upcoming few updates.
New Character Releases and Reruns Leaked for Upcoming Genshin Impact Banners Post Version 3.0
We already know the new characters coming to Version 3.1 since they were officially confirmed through their splash-art releases. While Cyno, Nilou and Candace may be fresh on our minds, we also know that we’re likely getting a Venti and Eula rerun in that banner since leakers say Genshin plans on an Archon marathon for newer players who joined during or after Version 2.8.
Version 3.1 also boasts the Wind and Wine Festival of Mondstadt so it would be a perfect time to rerun these two characters and still keep them thematically relevant to the patch.
In Version 3.2 we’re getting Nahida who’s the Dendro Archon and Layla. We know next to nothing about Layla and we only know what Nahida will look like since she is part of the Archon Quests of Sumeru.
Once Version 3.1 drops, we’re expecting more leaks about them as the Version 3.2 Beta testing begins. As for reruns, leakers all but confirm Yae Miko and Childe. Yae Miko is leaked to appear alongside Layla in the 3.2 plotline and Childe hasn’t had a rerun since Version 2.2.
Version 3.3 boasts of the Wanderer which is the official title of the Fatui Harbinger Scaramouche. Since he’s related to Raiden Shogun it would also make sense to have her rerun in this update too- thus completing the Archon marathon.
Faruzan is a new character and the leaks about her have been minimal but we do know she’s likely going to be an Anemo bow unit from Sumeru. Albedo could also be getting his rerun around this time since it’ll be winter for most parts of the world during this time and Genshin has made it a habit to associate Albedo and Dragonspine with the Winter season.
It’s been all but confirmed that there are no new 5-stars for Version 3.4. Since the Lantern Rite will be around that time, we’re expecting to return to Liyue for the festival. Yao Yao has been a leaked 4-star from Liyue for a long time. We knew she’ll be playable someday but never knew when. She’ll likely get her release in Version 3.4.
The rerun banners in this patch are all Liyue characters with Hu Tao and Shenhe being the most likely and Yelan and Xiao also being possible contenders. We can also expect a rerun of all these 5-stars since Genshin has been known to do that from time to time.
Players will certainly appreciate the reruns of Venti, Eula, Hu Tao and Raiden Shogun as these are all meta units in the game- even to this day. As for new releases, F2P players will have to make difficult choices between Nahida and Scaramouche since both of them are currently the most-awaited character releases in Sumeru- and both of them are in back-to-back updates. We wish all players good luck on their primogems grind and future pulls. May the gacha gods be with you and bless you with your desired characters.
