We are a couple of months away from the arrival of Genshin Impact 2.6. However, the roster of characters that will be part of future banners is already being revealed by leaks!
Here is everything we know about the upcoming banners, including when they’ll release and which characters they’ll feature.

Release Date
Genshin Impact 2.6 is expected to go live on March 30, 2022, running until May 11, 2022.
Every Genshin Impact update runs a six-week cycle, divided into two phases, which will mean a series of Banners will go live on the launch of Genshin Impact 2.6, then another at its midpoint.
Kamisato Ayato
Ayato is the older brother of Ayaka; they have been orphans in charge of the Yashiro Commission since a young age.

Kamisato Ayato is expected to be a 5-star Hydro character. His weapon is still a mystery, although there are mentions in the game that he is good with Swords and Polearms, so either could be a possibility in Genshin Impact 2.6.
Yoimiya

Recent leaks indicate there will be a Festival in Inazuma (perhaps centering on cherry blossoms), and of course, Yoimiya will make an appearance because you can’t have a party without fireworks.
Yoimiya’s return in the story indicates she is having a rerun banner, most likely in the second phase.
There are rumors of a new Artifact set that will boost Normal Attacks. If the leaks are accurate, Yomiya will become an even stronger character to pick up.
Kazuha

A wandering samurai of the once-famed Kaedehara Clan, Kazuha is a temporary crew member of The Crux.
Kazuha, the 5-star Anemo Sword user, is the most popular character to clear Genshin’s Impact spiral abyss. Kazuha is a strong support character that can boost teammates from all elements.

Many players made the mistake of skipping his banner as it was the first from Inazuma. They will not make the same mistake again!
Ayaka and 4-stars
Since the announcement of Kamisato Ayato becoming a playable character, many fans have been rooting for the Kamisato Siblings banner.
However, unless there are four banners in Genshin Impact 2.6, according to leaks, Ayaka’s rerun will be in ver. 2.7 instead.
There are already some names for upcoming 4-star characters in the mix, including Yelan, Shinobu, and Heizou.
With no presence of a new 4-star character in Genshin Impact 2.5, we will see one of these names in Genshin Impact 2.6 for sure.
