A brand-new character trailer for Genshin Impact focuses on the upcoming 5-star Electro user Yae Miko. The already beloved figure was introduced to miHoYo's action role-playing game as a non-player character back in July 2021. However, Genshin Impact will add Yae Miko as a playable character in Version 2.5, which is set to launch on February 16.
Like many Genshin Impact characters, Yae Miko has an extensive backstory which ties her to many of the ARPG's characters, locations and themes. Miko serves as the head of the Grand Narukami Shrine, a religious organization worshipped throughout the archipelago of Inazuma. While she performs these duties with a mysterious demeanor, Yae Miko is much more friendly while serving as the owner of the Yae Publishing House.

Genshin Impact 2.5's story quests are said to focus on both Yae Miko as a new playable character and Raiden Shogun as a new weekly boss encounter.
