Genshin Impact 2.5 banners: Upcoming reruns, Yae release date, and more

sportskeeda.com:

Various Genshin Impact 2.5 leaks suggest that Yae Miko may soon have her first banner, along with the Raiden Shogun and Kazuha rerun. While the reruns aren't confirmed yet, but the leaks come from credible sources.

Yae Miko's signature weapon, Kagura's Verity, is also expected to debut alongside the character in the appropriate weapon banner. Genshin Impact 2.5 is scheduled to launch on February 16, 2022, meaning that some of these banners' dates are based on that expectation.

This Tweet is the most recent development regarding the upcoming leaked banners. All it states is that Yae Miko is a 5-star unit (which is verified through other leaks) and that she will appear on the first banner. No specific date is given, but fans should know that significant updates happen every 42 days, with the individual banners occurring every 21 days.

The 2.4 update launched on January 5, 2022. Forty-two days (and two banner cycles) later would give players February 16, 2022, as Yae Miko's release date. It isn't known who the 4-star characters are at this moment.

The leaker later clarified that there could be a second 5-star character in the first half of the 2.5 update. However, players would have to wait until near the 2.5 Special Program livestream date to find out more.

The 2.4 update had a brand new character and a rerun happen at the same time (Shenhe and Xiao). It wouldn't be unheard of if Yae Miko had a banner happen simultaneously with a rerun.

There were some older [questionable] leaks that gave credence to the idea that Kazuha and the Raiden Shogun would have reruns. A follow-up Tweet to this one stated how she would become a weekly boss, which later leaks confirmed to be true.

If this leak came from the same source, then it's highly
