Drip advertising is right here for Model 4.4 of Genshin Impression, introducing a playable model of Cloud Retainer and a brand-new character named Gaming.

Xianyun, aka Cloud Retainer

Xianyun seems to be Cloud Retainer in a human disguise. She has an Anemo Imaginative and prescient, although her weapon remains to be up within the air. Given her design and recognition, it’s laborious to think about that Cloud Retainer is not going to be a 5-star character. Her Constellation is listed as Grus Serena, which is Latin for “serene crane.”

It’s unknown why Cloud Retainer has determined to stay among the many people, however she appears to be getting alongside nicely. The residents of Liyue Harbor solely have good issues to say about her, describing her as a gifted artisan with a form coronary heart. There are those that know her true id, reminiscent of her fellow adepti and Rex Lapis himself, however they seem to do a very good job of serving to to keep up her disguise.

Gaming

Sure, his title is Gaming. It’s really primarily based on the Cantonese pronunciation of an actual title: 嘉明, pronounced “gah-ming.” It’s time to take bets on whether or not the English voiceover will say “gaming” or “gah-ming.”

Gaming has a Pyro Imaginative and prescient at his waist, however his weapon and rarity are unclear. His Constellation is Leo Expergiscens, Latin for “awakening lion.”

Gaming works as an armed guard for the Sword and Strongbox Safe Transport Company, escorting precious cargo because it’s transported from place to put. Nonetheless, he moonlights as a Wushou dancer. Given the little lion masks that holds his Imaginative and prescient and references to suanni, Wushou Dance could possibly be Teyvat’s model of a Lion Dance. This might point out some attention-grabbing martial arts/Lion Dance themed animations, which I’m very excited to see!

When are Cloud Retainer and Gaming coming to Genshin Impression?

Since we’re about to enter Genshin Impression Model 4.3, Cloud Retainer and Gaming must be coming in Model 4.4. If the six-week replace schedule holds, Model 4.4 ought to go stay round January 30, simply in time for Lunar New 12 months and Genshin’s annual Lantern Ceremony celebration. 

Given how previous Lantern Ceremony rewards had been structured, we will count on to be given a free Liyue 4-star character of our alternative. If both Cloud Retainer or Gaming turn into 4-stars, they need to be added to the choice pool, letting you decide up a brand new character without cost!
