Genshin Impact: New Characters Leaked for Update 1.2
Leaking characters in Genshin Impact is always one way to increase the hype before the next update!
Update 1.1 was just released and all eyes are already on the next update, 1.2 due in December. Insiders are already hard at work finding hidden leaks in the latest 1.1 update released for Genshin Impact, and it seems that some of them have discovered 8 new characters that could be coming in the next 1.2 update or later.
Although this information was posted in Genshin Impact subreddit , things can change, especially when people aren't too happy with the same weapon and item types being repeated over and over again. If this information is completely correct, we will see three Hydro characters and then three Pyro users instead of a more thorough mix of weapon types and elements.
From left to right:
Hu Tao (a funeral director who doesn't get along with Qiqi). She is a fire shaft from Li Yue, just like Xiangling.
Mimi It's a hydrocatalyst from Inazuma.
yunjin - A geo-pole weapon from Li Yue, like Zhongli.
Yaoyao - The first Dendro character we know, she is the Catalyst from Li Yue, who I think studied with Xiangling or works in a rival restaurant or something. I do not remember exactly. She gets along very well with Qiqi.
Sayu is ANEMO Claymore from Inazuma.
Tohama - one more Pyro weapon, also from Inazuma .
Then the last two: Shenli , Cyro Claymore from Li Yue and later Rosary , Cyro Polearms from Mondstadt, or vice versa. I can't remember which one.
Based on this information, many of these characters originate from Inazuma, which was rumored to release with version 1.1, although it was quickly debunked. However, we know from miHoYo releasing their roadmap for Genshin Impact, which is in our notes to patch 1.1 that the new area will appear in 1.2. This new area is called Longji Snow Mountain.
It is very doubtful that the Electro region will be based in the snowy mountains, so we believe that many characters will come when Inazuma falls when he does. Also, removing 8+ characters in the next update and the ones we know about Albedo и Ganyu, seems like a waste. Why double the number of characters when only 4 have been released since 1.1, Childe, Zhongli, Diona and Xinyan?
