| Genshin Impact Gaming and Xianyun - the 4.4 banner characters |
As the much-awaited Genshin Impact 4.4 update approaches, leaks have surfaced revealing the inclusion of new characters from different regions. Plus, the enthusiastic fan base is now even more enthused about the official release of the splash artwork for two of these version 4.4 characters, Gaming and Xianyun.
Genshin 4.4 Banner: Gaming and Xianyun Splash Art
Gaming and Xianyun's splash art offers a sneak peek into the visual aesthetics of these new Genshin characters, heightening the anticipation among players awaiting their arrival in version 4.4.
Genshin Gaming Splash Art
HoYoverse has revealed that Gaming, the long-rumored Lion-dance Boy, will be included in the next Genshin 4.4 update. He works for the Sword and Strongbox Secure Transport Agency as a Transport Guard. Furthermore, Gaming leads a Wushou dance troupe known as the "Mighty Mythical Beasts."
According to Genshin Impact's most recent statement, Gaming is a Pyro unit and may be seen wearing his Vision around his waist. Additionally, Leo Expergiscens is the name of his constellation. He frequently makes trips to and from Yilong Wharf and Liyue Harbor to accompany merchants and deliver cargo shipments. He often has dim sum at the Xinyue Kiosk or drink tea, and leisurely chat with his friends, in his free time or when he has nothing essential to finish.
According to HoYoverse:
If you happen to hear the sound of drums and gongs as you're walking through the streets of Liyue Harbor, let your ears lead the way. With a bit of luck, you might just be fortunate enough to witness a performance of Gaming's remarkable Wushou Dance.
When he puts on his mask, he shakes his head and blinks like a waking beast. The vast array of emotions he conjures up, the unpredictable twists and turns... Following his every move with rapture, the audience can't help but cheer and applaud.
"Thank you for your support, everyone! And remember, if someone you know's thinking of booking a Wushou Dance, don't forget to recommend the 'Mighty Mythical Beasts'!"
It's just a shame that, more often than not, he receives nothing but applause in return. But Gaming doesn't let this get to him — he laughs it off, saying that the audience's attention is all the recognition he needs.
Once the crowd has dispersed and his mask is off, Gaming swiftly returns to being a "guard" and thinking of work matters once more: How many cargo shipments still need delivering? Which clients does he need to escort? And so on...
Usually, when there's nothing urgent on, he heads to Xinyue Kiosk to while away the time with some dim sum — a pot of tea, a selection of bite-sized nibbles, and leisurely chatter in the company of good friends.
As a guard, the task of escorting goods from Yilong Wharf to Liyue Harbor couldn't be easier for Gaming. But as the head of the "Mighty Mythical Beasts," his dream of making the Wushou Dance a regular occurrence in Liyue Harbor still has a long, long road ahead of it...
So in the meantime, why not sit and enjoy another cup of tea?
Genshin Xianyun Splash Art
The playable character Cloud Retainer has finally been revealed by Genshin Impact. In the next version 4.4 update, she will be made available in her human form as Xianyun. The drip market also disclosed some intriguing information about Cloud Retainer, who is presently residing in Liyue Harbor and posing as a human. It confirmed that the character possesses an Anemo vision.
Xianyun is concealing her identity from the villagers, according to the X post by Genshin Impact, whereby they refer to her as "that tall woman with the updone hair," "that bespectacled artisan," or "that talkative new neighbor." Xianyun is exclusively interested in her newest creation, which makes her happy. It's far more flavorful than a standard soup pot, and she refers to it as the Exquisite Mini Broth Pot.
As defined by HoYoverse:
Everyone has something to say about Xianyun: "That tall woman with the updone hair," "that bespectacled artisan," or perhaps "that talkative new neighbor." They all say different things, but together they paint a picture of the impression she leaves — of someone who's witty, chatty, warm-hearted, and easy to get along with.
But that's not how Xianyun sees herself. In her own eyes, she's inarticulate, reserved, and unyieldingly proud. Aside from her mastery of mechanics and knack for making all kinds of little trinkets, it's an entirely different image from how others would describe her.
Some curious individuals, seeing how her mannerisms and bearing set her apart from ordinary folk, are convinced that she's a heroine — so they go around trying to uncover her heroic backstory and whether she goes by any other names.
Ask the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's consultant, and with a wave of his hand, he'd say: "Xianyun? We're not well acquainted, but going by her name, she sounds like a good person."
Ask Madame Ping from Yujing Terrace, and she'd nod and reply: "Xian... Oh, Xianyun? We've crossed paths, yes... She's a good person, you know. Once you've met, you'll find that your days seem to go by much more smoothly."
Ask Ganyu, and she'd nod too: "She is a heroine, but a very discreet one — hence why she's living incognito in Liyue Harbor."
Ask Shenhe, and she'd respond pensively: "Xianyun... Of course, she's a master. Whatever you do, you must not offend her."
As it turns out, such speculations are not wrong. There's far more to Xianyun than meets the eye, but those who know the full story are few indeed. If someone was to address her as "Cloud Retainer"... Well, people would know her instantly, and you'd hear a torrent of praise flow her way: "Who doesn't know Cloud Retainer? Noble, brave, loyal, and wise... A most worthy friend if ever there was one!"
So try asking Xianyun herself then: "Are you a heroine? Surely you're not... an adeptus?"
You catch the new resident just as she's working on her latest invention, her pride and joy — what she calls an "Exquisite Mini Broth Pot." She's too absorbed to take the question seriously, so she simply waves it off as a load of old nonsense and tells you not to bother her while she's busy.
As for what exactly an Exquisite Mini Broth Pot is... No one really knows, other than having been told that it brings out flavors much better than a regular soup pot. Likewise, none would know how profoundly it might impact Liyue Harbor's future gastronomic development. Suffice to say — if Xianyun says it'll be impressive, it'll be impressive alright.
Genshin Gaming and Xianyun Release Phases
Speculation arises about the release phases of Gaming and Xianyun in the Genshin 4.4 banner. Xianyun, expected to be a new 5-star character, might debut in Phase I, while Gaming, a new 4-star Pyro unit, is anticipated to share the same banner. In addition to these new characters, Shenhe and Ganyu are anticipated for the second half, with Xiao scheduled to rerun with Xianyun's banner in the first phase.
However, details regarding the 4-star characters in the Genshin Impact 4.4 banners are yet to surface.
Overall, the anticipation surrounding the Genshin Impact 4.4 banners is escalating, igniting excitement among players eagerly awaiting the release of these new characters. However, the wait isn't that long as the Genshin 4.4 beta will begin soon, and leaks will drop in new info.
