Genshin Impact 2.7 Release date
The official Genshin Impact 2.7 update release date has yet to be announced by HoYoverse, but based on the regular six-week patch schedule, players will be able to try out the new version around the beginning of May.
The Genshin Impact 2.6 upgrade went live on March 30, 2022, hence the official Genshin 2.7 release date might be May 11, 2022.
However, we have new rumors suggesting that Genshin 2.7 release date might get delayed.
On April 13, the developers posted the Event Preview for the second half of Version 2.6, revealing the dates for the next Marvelous Merchandise event in Genshin Impact.
The Genshin 2.6 Marvelous Merchandise event will start on May 6th and run until May 13th, according to the announcement. And precisely this has sparked rumors in the Genshin society.
The fact that Genshin 2.6 Marvelous Merchandise is planned to run until May 13 indicates that the 2.6 version will overlap with Version 2.7, as Genshin Impact has always followed a six-week update cycle since its inception, therefore Version 2.7 should be ready on May 11.
It's been reported that the next patch's release date could be pushed back due to the current Covid scenario in China. However, we will have to wait for the official announcement to be sure of anything.

Genshin Impact Yelan
Earlier leakers shared a screenshot of a strange and unknown female character from a Genshin Impact Story Cutscene of the Moonchase Festival Event and it was claimed that the character's name is Genshin Impact Yelan.
Yelan was said to bear a striking similarity to Fu Hua, a character from Honkai Impact 3 who is truly immortal and one of the last survivors of the former civilization. However, during the 2.6 beta fans were able to get a sneak peek at Yelan's model.
HoYoverse has also officially introduced Yelan to the players where she has been defined as a mysterious person who claims to work for the Ministry of Civil Affairs and is a 5-star Hydro user.

Genshin Impact Kuki Shinobu
Kuki Shinobu is a solid and legitimate character and Arataki Itto (the leader of the Arataki gang) fears her. She has been mentioned quite a few times by other characters in the game including Arataki Itto and Sayu that describe her as a stubborn and bold character.
The Arataki Gang's deputy, Genshin Impact Shinobu, looks to be a more sensible and responsible counterweight to Itto's brash nature.
Leaks suggested that she could be joining us sometime in the 2.7 update and indeed the leaks were true. Genshin Impact Shinobu is the Deputy Leader of the Arataki Gang, Mender of Tribulations, and an Electro user.
On March 28, Kuki Shinobu was officially revealed by the devs and the Kuki Shinobu's artwork shows her wielding a weapon and having green hair, which was truly unexpected.
Now with 2.7 beta being in full swing, leaks have additionally revealed the complete Yelan kit. Moreover, Kuki Shinobu's kit has likewise been leaked, thanks to the 2.7 beta.

Genshin Impact 2.7 Banners leak
So far, we have no official info on Genshin Impact 2.7 banners or which characters will feature on the upcoming banner. However, as per the leaked data, players may get to see some interesting characters in the 2.7 banners.
According to the leaks, we can expect the following Genshin Impact 2.7 banners
- Genshin Impact Yelan banner
- Genshin Impact Kuki Shinobu banner
- Genshin Impact Itto banner rerun
- Genshin Impact Xiao banner rerun
Getting both Yelan and Shinobu on 2.7 banners is no surprise as both of them have been announced officially. However, the exact release date of both Genshin 2.7 banners should definitely excite the players.
Lumie said that Yelan will be a 5-star character in the Genshin 2.7 banners, while Kuki Shinobu will be a 4-star character in Phase 2. "According to my 🐤, Yelan (5*) should be the first phase of 2.7, followed by Kuki Shinobu (4*) in the second phase," the leaker posted on Twitter.
Nonetheless, neither HoYoverse nor leakers have disclosed which 4-star characters will be featured on the Yelan banner, but we'll be sure to keep you updated when fresh information becomes available from leakers or developers.
Any Event Wishes in Genshin generally lasts for 21 days, thus according to this, the 2.7 Event Wishes should be released on the following dates:
- Genshin Impact 2.7 Phase 1 will begin on May 11, 2022.
- Genshin Impact 2.7 Phase 2 will begin on June 1 or 2, 2022 (depending on the first banner).
Different leakers have made different claims in regards to Genshin 2.7 banner reruns, with the recent one suggesting that there would be some changes to the pattern.
Recently, a popular Twitter leaks aggregator account, @SaveYourPrimos mentioned the possibility of 2.7 being delayed by 2 - 3 weeks due to the severity of the Covid situation in Shanghai and it was additionally revealed that "rumors of this delay containing a short filler banner are also floating around, but this claim has less support than the first."
If leaks are to be believed then Genshin Impact 2.6 might have Itto and Xiao double banner rerun, with the Genshin 2.7 banner having only Yelan. If true, then it is highly likely that Kuki Shinobu will feature on the Genshin Yelan banner in the 2.7 update, which seems to be good news for many.
Yet fans should remember this list is a compilation of leaks and speculations.
