Genshin Impact Leaks Suggest Future Updates Will Have More Banner Cycles

NewGenshin Impact leaks have revealed that there could be some significant changes to the game's banner system in the future. Each update in the game features two banner cycles which consist of the Limited Character Banner and the Weapon Banner. The character banners usually include two five-star and three four-star characters.

Genshin Impact keeps adding one or two new playable characters with each new update that arrives. The ongoing version 3.4 introduced two Dendro users, Alhaitham and Yaoyao, both of whom were placed in the first part of the update. With the game's pool of limited five-star characters constantly increasing, HoYoverse will probably have to make some adjustments to the banner system in the future.

These leaks should still be taken with a grain of salt since the next major update is still six to seven months away. The first big adjustment to the banner system was introduced back in update 2.3 which introduced the first double-banner to the game. This special mechanic allows players to pull for two different five-star characters within the same banner cycle. Since then, each new update has had one or two double banners which makes sense considering that Genshin Impact's roster includes over 60 characters at the moment.

Many fans in the comment section think that this leak is probably accurate since the game's constant expansions of the roster have caused some units like Eula and Hu Tao to miss 10 or more consecutive updates. Unlike most gacha games, HoYoverse does not shy
