Genshin Impact 4.5 banner speculation
A character who is practically confirmed for Genshin Impact 4.5 is the new 5-star Geo character, Chiori.
Besides Chiori, leaks suggest that we will see Kazuha and Itto in Genshin Impact 4.5. However, another set of leaks suggests that Kazuha will be paired with a rerun for Neuvillette. Whatever the case, it seems likely that we'll be seeing Chiori and Kazuha in Genshin Impact 4.5. Genshin Impact 4.5 will follow the official schedule and is expected to be released on 13 March 2024.
That concludes our quick round-up of the rumours for the next few updates so you can focus your Primogems - but remember, none of the future speculations are confirmed until the official livestream.
We'll keep this Genshin Impact banner schedule updated with any new learnings from the next beta and beyond, but for now, check out the Genshin Impact tier list to see who stacks up in Version 3.3.
