Despite the recent delay of Version 2.7, Genshin Impact is still revealing new characters for future updates. The popular RPG from HoYoverse most recently showed a new character named Doushin Shikanoin Hizou, an Inazuman detective that works for the Tenryou Commission. It's the latest in a long line of character reveals for Genshin Impact, and hints at Shikanoin Hizou being playable soon.
As a free-to-play RPG, Genshin Impact gets regular six-week updates that typically introduce one or two new characters. The upcoming Version 2.7 update will feature Yelan and Kuki Shinobu as playable characters. However, the update was delayed because of COVID-19 lockdowns in Shanghai. Despite this postponement, it looks as though HoYoverse is continuing its trend of announcing new characters weeks in advance thanks to the new Shikanoin Hizou reveal.

Shikanion Hizou was officially revealed on the Genshin Impact Twitter account this morning, and the tweets stopped just short of giving him a release date. However, it's clear that he is held in high esteem by Genshin Impact's own Kamisato Ayato, who praises Shikanoin Hizou's "admirable wit and insight." In terms of design, Hizou looks a bit like the male Traveler or Kazuha, albeit with auburn hair instead of blond or platinum. The tweet can be viewed below:
«Doushin Shikanoin has admirable wit and insight. While he is unfettered and unrestrained in demeanor, one should not dismiss his talents. The Tenryou Commission is incredibly fortunate to have such a man in their ranks.» — Kamisato Ayato<a href=«https://twitter.com/hashtag/GenshinImpact?src=hash&ref_src=» https: screenrant.com>#GenshinImpact
