Genshin Impact version 2.7 is right around the corner, and leaks regarding the forthcoming banners have surfaced. If everything goes as planned and there aren't any unexpected delays, players will be able to unlock Yelan in the first half of the update and Kuki Shinobu in the second.

As of now, the leaker hasn't spoken about the featured four-star weapons in the Epitome Invocation banner in patch 2.7.

For the second half of the 2.7 update, travelers can expect Arataki Itto's rerun banner, which should also feature the new four-star character Kuki
