Albedo and Eula Banner Reruns
The 2.3 update brings back fan-favorite characters Albedo and Eula through banner reruns. Players have until December 14 to summon these formidable geo users. Albedo, a five-star character, showcases his prowess with a claymore, while the four-star character Eula wields her cryo abilities with finesse. The banners seamlessly transition, with Itto and Gorou’s banner launching immediately after Albedo and Eula’s departure.
Introduction of Itto and Gorou
Itto and Gorou, geo users, take centre stage as the new characters debuting in the 2.3 update. Itto, a five-star bruiser armed with a claymore, promises a dynamic playstyle, while Gorou, a four-star general, utilizes a bow and appears tailored for support roles. Their banners commence on December 14, offering players a swift transition to fresh and exciting characters.
New Events and Gadgets
With the arrival of the 2.3 update, players can immerse themselves in a series of new events and gadgets. Itto receives a dedicated story quest, allowing players to delve deeper into his background and motivations. Beidou and Gorou will be featured in hangout events, providing unique interactions and storylines for players to explore. Additionally, the introduction of the Omni-Ubiquity net allows players to capture animals in the overworld and bring them back to their Serenita Pot, adding a delightful touch to the gameplay experience.
Genshin Impact 2.3 Release Time
The highly anticipated Genshin Impact 2.3 update is scheduled to release on November 23 at 7 pm PST / 10 pm EST and November 24 at 3 am GMT. Maintenance is set to begin at 6 am UTC+8 on November 24, with an estimated duration of five hours. To compensate for the downtime, players will receive 300 Primogems, equating to 60 Primogems for every hour of maintenance. In the event of early completion, the total amount of Primogems will still be granted.
Albedo and Eula Banners
Players can access the Secretum Secretorum and Born of Ocean Swell banners upon the update’s release. The former features Albedo, the five-star geo character, while the latter introduces Eula, the five-star cryo user. Both banners, although separate, share a roster of four-star characters including Bennett, Noelle, and Rosaria. Players can strategically choose which banner to summon from based on their preferences and desired characters.
Teasers for Update 2.4
Mihoyo has wasted no time teasing future content, as the developer recently unveiled new characters Shenhe and Yun Jin on Twitter. Shenhe, an opera star, and Yun Jin, an exorcist, are set to join the Genshin Impact roster. While an official release date for these characters is yet to be announced, the teaser suggests a vibrant and diverse set of characters arriving in update 2.4, adding to the excitement for the game’s ongoing evolution.
