Genshin Impact 2.7 leaks: New weekly Battle Pass EXP amount reverted to original in the latest beta

sportskeeda.com:

The Battle Pass is a massive hit among Genshin Impact players. By logging in daily and completing some basic tasks, they can get XP, Mora, Fragile Resin, and even Primogems if they purchase the Gnostic Hymn.

Having said that, upgrading the Battle Pass in Genshin Impact is a lot more tedious than it sounds. The EXP requirement to unlock each level was recently changed from 1000 to 600. As per leakers, the change was reverted in the latest beta.

Here's why HoYoverse might be experimenting with the Battle Pass lately.

The COVID-19 outbreak in Shanghai is at its worst right now, and the developers at HoYoverse are working from home amidst a lockdown. Naturally, this has affected their efficiency and they even had to scrap the 'Spices from the West' event.

Players were assuming that the COVID-19 situation in Shanghai would compel HoYoverse to extend the 2.6 update and shorten the 2.7 patch. A shortened update would mean that travelers would get less time to complete the Battle Pass. As a result, the developers reduced the EXP amount.

However, from the looks of it, the development process is back on track now. HoYoverse might be confident that the 2.7 update won't be delayed and thus there would be no need for a change in the standard EXP requirement.

The 2.7 update will bring in Kuki Shinobu and Yelan. While Kuki is a 4-star Electro healer, Yelan is a 5-star Hydro Bow DPS.

Leakers initially claimed that Yelan would arrive in the first half followed by Kuki Shinobu in the second. However, rumors suggested that a delay in 2.7 update could lead to both new characters getting featured in the same banner.

It is no surprise that the community has showcased a mixed response towards the changes in the Battle Pass in the 2.7 beta. Casual
