Genshin Impact fans are unhappy with HoYoverse not featuring Hu Tao banner in V3.3 spooky-themed patch

Hu Tao has been confirmed not to be in Genshin Impact 3.3, which can seem a bit odd to some unhappy players. Some reactions range from the disappointment of not having her be summonable for over a year to being surprised that she wasn't included in a spooky-themed patch.

Either way, there is no shortage of amusing reactions to Hu Tao being nowhere to be seen in Genshin Impact 3.3. This article will also reference some rumors of her being playable in a future update, which will be at the very end, in case you wish not to be spoiled.

It's a common sentiment within the Genshin Impact community that Hu Tao is one of the most neglected characters. Some people would argue that she's number one in that regard, but the important thing of note is that they often create fanon ideas regarding how she could be better utilized.

This is a similar problem to her not having any banners. The two concepts aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, yet there is some overlap between them. Even having her appear in an event would appease some players, especially since her importance in the plot is rather minimal at the moment.

Keep in mind that Hu Tao is one of the most popular characters in the fandom, so her absence is notable. Not to mention, some four-star characters do genuinely get way more focus than her.

Some Redditors have a more amusing reaction to the lack of Hu Tao's screen time. The above post is a joke referencing her being unplayable for over a year. Explaining a joke is never entertaining, so you can look at the above post to get the whole idea.

Genshin Impact 3.3 features Akitsu Kimodameshi as its main event. It has some spooky elements to it, which is why some people thought Hu Tao would be a perfect character to see in this context.
