Kuki Shinobu and Yelan confirmed as Genshin Impact 2.7 characters: Release date revealed
Genshin Impact has finally revealed Yelan and Kuki Shinobu. The characters won't be a part of the upcoming 2.6 update, but HoYoverse uses drip marketing to counter the data miners who would have leaked Yelan and Shinobu anyway.
New characters are the biggest highlight of any update in HoYoverse's action RPG. Players love adding new units to their team, giving them a purpose to grind.
Yelan was originally found in 2.6 beta files. Interestingly, she will appear in the 2.6 update as a quest NPC, and users will be able to get a glimpse of her signature weapon Kirin Bow.
Yelan's look already suggested that she's a Hydro character, but the latest post by Genshin Impact has confirmed that too. Although the official artwork doesn't show her using a bow, the leaked renders from the 2.6 beta testing have proved that she's a bow user.
Yelan will be released in the first half of the 2.7 update, implying that her release date will be May 11.
Another character revealed alongside Yelan is Kuki Shinobu. Surprisingly, the four-star unit has gained more attention than the five-star Hydro bow user. Her banner will arrive in the second half of patch 2.7, which means her release date is June 1.
This is mainly because of Kuki Shinobu's interesting lore. She was a law student from Liyue but joined the Arataki gang upon her arrival in Inazuma. She's now the Deputy Leader of the gang who always saves Itto from legal trouble.
Kuki Shinobu belongs to the Electro element, and it seems like she uses swords during combat. As per some leakers, she will fulfill the role of a support character who can also heal the party members.
Kuki Shinobu undoubtedly has a unique design. She wears a mask, and her attire is more aggressive than any existing character.
